- Dolph Ziggler chats with Chris Van Vliet from WSVN-TV in New Orleans. He discusses the rumors that he signed a new WWE contract worth $1.5 million, talks about what went wrong with his last US Title run, says if he was 3 inches taller he'd be "like a 10-time World Champion".

This guy is a great interviewer,respectful, witty, and he knows his stuff. Keep at it,and continue growing the way you are,dude.
Ziggler and Rusev are the most badly booked wrestlers in WWE right now, such a shame.
They should go Mat Hardy and ask to get into the lake of reincarnation.
Zigger should of left but he wanted the money so he can't bitch anymore
Dolph is lazy hes there for the money
@@BalorFigsUK 2 times Heavyweight champ, 6 times IC champ (#12 all time longest), 2 times tag champ. this is HOF for sure, so i do not knot why ppl think he dosent get a push. he is clasic heel, made to build the face. not evry heel is hhh.
Or Or Or Or Or Or They Should Go To AEW 😌
Amazing he's still with WWE, heel Ziggler should of had a good run as Champ by now !
England 1966 I appreciate your profile photo
He was champ twice and got hurt. When wrestlers get hurt Vince doesn't push them anymore. It is Dolph's fault for not leaving. I don't feel sorry for him.
Hey Zeus hey Zues, stfu
He is champ now
He is the international champion
Dolph is so UNDERRATED
Awesome stuff as usual from this interviewer. He asks the best questions!
Thanks Daniel! DZ makes it easy
Great interview by Chris as always.
Man, Dolph is such a talent. Most complete superstar in the WWE. Look, In-Ring skills, Promos and Charisma imo.
Glad he wants to feud with AJ. That match they had post SummerSlam in 2016 is still in my mind. Could be a masterpiece.
GC-Maniac he should leave in WWE and succeed elsewhere
GC-Maniac and yet he’s not treated that way
Dolph has a ton of charisma and seems like a great guy in person. It's a shame to see he isn't going anywhere in WWE. There's only so many times you can invest in a star before you give up on him, or the way he's booked in this case. If they didn't pull the trigger after his Survivor Series 2014 win, they probably won't at all. Since then he's been in limbo, unfortunately. I really wish Ziggler the best but I don't think staying in WWE is best for him.
JordyAgain feel the same
I feel him doing stand up isn't for nothing though. I don't doubt his passion for wrestling but I can see him leaving WWE in the next two years and wrestle part-time outside of WWE and doing stand up/movies. I hope I'm right because although the money's great in WWE I do think he would be happier with less money and more time for his other passions.
Great interview! Ziggler hits the nail on the head! The wwe need to put more focus on reasons within feuds. It's this that makes the wrestling mean something!
If they spent more time working on deep stories and relationships, then their product would be so much better!
Subscribed and look forward to watching more of your interviews. Great work!
Thanks so much man!
Great interview! I love how honest Dolph is and doesn't shy away from any questions.
You've earned yourself a subscriber Chris!
Thanks for the sub man!!
Dolph should have more title runs
no he shouldnt
no he shouldnt
Yes he should.
Bobby Ray Parris Noe he shouldn’t, he isn’t a face, maybe he could hold the US or IC title but a main title like the universal or work heavyweight he shouldn’t have access too because he wouldn’t be a good top champion, like Brock and AJ.
Saw ziggler front row at a live event. He's really good at his job.
He's really cool. Good talker, smart, funny. Hoping for another run of his on the top!
Ziggler has the curse of being too good. He makes the guys he wrestles look a million bucks, and so will never get the pushes because of it. Same as Cesaro. That's the trouble with sports entertainment, for every winner you need a loser. Make the winners look great and you'll always lose!
Rich Baker This is the best I ever seen this explained. 100% agree.
So true,.Nakamaura,Balor,braun,aleister black,complete shit boring performers
🧑👰💍
He wrestles like HBK, that's his issue.
i feel bad for dolph he deserves a better career
I’m sure he would of liked a better story line and run but the man makes millions.
He had the chance to leave but he didn't want to
Join the Bullet Club already
Chiko was here facts
Yeah look how Bullet Club is been used, Yujiro Takahashi, Bad Luck Fale, Tama Tonga, Tanga Loa and Chase Owens what are they up to.
Well, Bullet Club OG (Tonga, Loa and Fale) have been IWGP 6 Man Tag champs twice this year. Takahashi and Owens wrestled the Bucks at Sakura Genesis. BC wrestlers are in a featured storyline currently as well, plus the All In card is full of Bullet Club. That, and their merch is the hottest selling stuff anywhere. So yeah, they've done nothing!
Chiko was here he’d be a great addition
Chiko was here nah
Team Ziggler with some1 like Tye or Zack Ryder or something or he should go to ROH NJPW go pull a cody so when u come back they appreciate u im honestly not a fan of dolph but i cant deny his talent
Ziggler is one of my faves I still support him no matter what
Me too he's my favorite wrestler and always will be well him and drew mcintyre
Dolph Ziggler vs Curt Hawkins is the fued WWE needs!!
Loser wins the match*
He should have left long ago. Chances are he probably would be as hot if not hotter than Cody in the other companies by now. The guy has a ton of talent but WWE wont value his worth if he is there doing what his told 100% of the time. He seems to be to much of a nice guy and a company man for his own good, it is kinda depressing that the dude is so passionate and dedicated and he just keeps getting jobbed out to all the NXT call ups to the point that he has become a meme.
If he joins the Bulleclub he will, Cody makes way more (he said he was makes way more money like 4 to 5 months into his indy run) than he ever did in WWE not only from getting booked everywhere but he also makes tons with his bullet club shirts. Plus the schedule its way better he will have an easier time doing his comedy stuff on the side as well.
Are you fucking mad he makes 1.5 million indie shits can't even pay half of that plus with royalties and events he's easily making 2 mil plus more than 99% of the roster and even most main venters in wwe even though he is in jobber role who just randomly wins titles
3:50 speaks of his contract.
I hope WWE knows how lucky they are that Dolph has never left them even though they don't give him the credit he deserves.
Just watched that youtube series he talked about, it's pretty damn funny.
Jānis Dāvids Siliņš what's it called?
Cin3mattic Channel name is Piper Jackson, CEO
Stay in wwe. It's the big leagues in you belong there. You are the man win or loose, dude. Keep it up. One of the best ever. Love the energy in every of your matches...all of my friends send their best. Great interview,man.... very honest....
Alberto Montoto Why’d you write that? He isn’t gonna see your message
Lol, good question, man... the answer is simple ... dolph has said before that he watches stuff back and if he happens to read my comment it may give the dude encouragement and satiafaction to know fans appreciate his work in wwe, that's all, bro!
“Big leagues” LUL
just leave dolph. i would love to see him in ROH, Imapct or NJPW. same with other guys like Zack Ryder, R Truth, Tyler Breeze, Fandango, Curtis Axel, Bo Dallas, Heath Slater, and Ryhno.
the problem with that. when your under contract you can't. even when you leave...you generally are stuck with a clause that you can't sign with anyone for a year
Look what happened to cody. he couldn't use the rhoades name. nor any of the stuff he was known for
Dolph is a amazing wrestler. I enjoy watching him in the ring, he more than deserves more titles than he has especially the 2 higher ones
I thoroughly enjoyed this interview with the man Ziggler!
Dolph is cool.
Wasn't dolph's debut match against Batista ?
Junior Alcantar yup
It's easy to get the two mixed up.
i hear TNA is hiring
Misaki Hayato Haha TNA is still a thing? It’s crap now from the looks of it. AEW is better.
An ad for Amy Schumer new movie popped up during this interview.
Oh shit! Dolph did host WWE Download. I completely forgot about that show
I enjoy that Dolph speaks honestly. Not afraid to step around questions. I think he's a great wrestler and was sad to see him take a break. It was a bit disappointing in the Royal Rumble but I think he's entertaining and hopes he sticks around for a while longer.
Nice to hear him
Dolph Ziggler is just brilliant
Please leave WWE: you deserve better and you will never get it there.
Seth Rollins So he deserves to earn less money ? Lol ok 👌
Big Virgil He can earn more or less same money while choosing a schedule as it pleases him.
Seth Rollins shut up bitch
Seth Rollins ok. I'll ask TAKER
Seth Rollins Lmao oh so you know all the contract negotiations they went threw do you ? Don’t kid yourself . If he could earn more or the same money on an easier schedule , he would be gone . You probably listen to Meltzer . I’m sure you will deny it now though lol .
Ziggler would be so much better on RoH/NJ to be honest.... and he will finally gets what he deserves.
He looks the same size as you, am I bigger than Dolph?
Alex Chu ziggler is 6ft according to google, prob like 220-230lb
Stephen A Smith you know WWE adds to the stats. He doesn't look much bigger than Chris though
Stephen A Smith you know thats billed right?
What? Dolph is clearly bigger, like 20lbs heavier
We all know all Chrises are 5'10 which includes me.
Its funny hes the last one left from the spirit squad Shane McMahon lackies from that group changed from nickie to dolph zigler lol ha ha
Great stuff man
The shirt zigged wears is from grill em all burgers in south Pasadena so go eat there if you in the area
I honestly thought that when Ziggler won survivor series and got rid of the authority, that should have been his time to grab that brass ring
You know you people could make him have more range and push in WWE. It’s just popularity. Just show appreciation when going to the shows, that’s how it works. Hope he does he’s amazing in ring. Him and Roode are 💯 .Give him a reason
Excellent interview. Dolph is pretty funny. You have a good report with wrestlers.
I f'n love both of these men. Ridiculously attractive, you bastards. hahah...EVERY interview I watch Vanvliet do looks like a conversation between two friends. I don't even think he knows how good he is.
Haha thanks brother
Boggles my mind that he's okay with losing 99% of his matches. Just join ROH or New Japan already.
Awe sweet💞💞💞💕💞💜💝💚💙💋💋💋💋💋💋💋💋💋💋💛💖💟💝💞💕💕💛💚💗❤️💙😘😍💙💋💟💝💜😍
Too Sweet even
Dolph needs to leave . He deserves to really shine ! I’m sure he looks at Cody Rhodes & just can’t wait . The only reason he’s still here is because he has hope but at this point , I can’t see WWE getting it right .
Should of asked him about the Sunny experience ;-)
Dolph is hands down, one of the most underrated performers of his time. It's great to see him putting on fantastic matches with Seth Rollins
This interview is pure gold
He is very under rated!!!! Should be a champion for at least one year. Why has he been under utilized?
Cheers to the intercontinental champion Dolph Ziggler and the mighty Drew Mcintyre.
I hope he gets another good run... the guy deserves it! They treated him so poorly for most of his career. If not... please leave... you deserve better Dolph
Feel so bad for Dolph. He doesn't get nearly as much as he deserves, but he's okay with it at this point😔
-Ah, good to see you!
-Good to be seen
Lmao
Dolph is such an underrated wrestler! I want a 3 way between dolph,aj and daniel bryan!
Christopher Chuauhang we can't get that match anymore but we can get another 5 star match Styles vs Bryan vs Nakamura for the wwe championship oh God I'm about to simulate that on wwe18
that would make a gang bang
Since heel zig asked, I followed lol
Hector Mercado haha thanks!
Great interview 👍
So cool that you did an interview with Shawn Michaels. Oh wait....
Fuck u both
Go to NJPW or ROH, Dolph in the Bullet Club would be awesome! : )
18:57 Damn... Curt Hawkins got buried...
Really breaks my heart how my man has constantly been treated all these years. Hopefully this tag team with Drew Mccyntire really takes off if not I’d love to see him go to roh and njpw and really have some killer matches with the talent over there
Imagine if Dolph evolved... Like what if Ziggler dressed like he was an adult that gave a shit, maybe Suit ..NO Tie....slicked back short(er) same color hair, grow a lil 5oclock shawn’do, anyone?
Oh hi Mark lmao
Oh hi Johnny
Lmao classic
Kenneth Thomas why does this not have likes? It’s tearin’ me apart
That was Curt Hawkins, not Zack Ryder. 🖖🏼🎈
I subscribed because dolph told me to
Mario Lopez it worked! Haha
dolph may not be getting 1.5 Mil
but he deserve it
Sounds like Ziggler was looking at places like NJPW even back in 2018.
Where does he talk about 1.5 Million $
Karan Goraksh 3:55 onwards
He didn’t even talk about $1.5 mill , CVV just mentioned the contract and amount and dolph. Went from there about contract but not the amount
an AJ and Dolph Tag-Team will be awesome 👌💕
AEW Brother
Dolph does need to take a year off
He’ll be over as fuck when he comes back and he’ll be in the World Title picture
i remember watching zigglers debut in like 5th/6th grade and even though he was a heel i was a fan from the start
I wish I could go to a live event and watch all these guys cut loose in the ring. God knows Vince doesn’t let them actually *go* on TV.
I love your interviews
Good. Bro
Zig should be champ... if they won't give it to him, he needs to take it. Or just leave and run for prez! Hahahaha, seriously. He would even kill it in RoH.
The best part about Dolph leaving when he does is the shit he'll tell us.
King of the Jobbers!
I can see Ziggler leaving the WWE and establishing himself as a main eventer in Japan, or really anywhere he goes. Similar to Cody Rhodes, except I think Ziggler can cut a slightly better promo. I really hope he does that or WWE starts booking him the way he deserves to be booked. Wiki says he weighs 218. He can pass as 205...
Hey chris why did dolph changed his style was that a choise of vince or by him he just wanted go change his style i mean the yellow hair the clothes etc ...??
He's a yes man, he'll do his job and lose again an again. He could be so much more if he slowed down and left that company but he's in it for the money. Wouldn't turn it down either but damn, wasted talent.
wtf is he talking about? he was essentially in NXT but it was known as OVW back then and then he was called up to be in the lame ass spirit squad
When Dolph Ziggler came back its was lame now he's gonna try to get heat of drew poor ziggler needs new music, personality, attire.. he need to go away to ROH and new japan and maybe he'll bigger star in the future. There's to many top guys in the WWE who are just better. I don't feel he's at that level to get excited to see like AJ Bryan Seth. Putting the WWE title on Zigger at this point will do nothing for this character he'lll just lose it in a week or two...
I really like ziggler but is he pitching any ideas of his own or just waiting for the company to do something with him
Leave WWE, stay away for a couple of years, then come back! You should have done this already! And, if you can, stop overselling your opponent's moves. You can do it for big spots or big moves, and your great at selling, but sometimes you sell too much even a simple punch. I think that's one of the reasons they use you to put over other guys.
I feel bad for ziggler, he's a nice guy and VERY loyal to wwe, despite how theu treat him ..
Ziggggglah
At 19:00 you can’t see me but I was sitting in front of the man with the green shirt. About 20 feet away R-Truth was on the phone telling someone that he was a grown man.
1.5 million dollars..watch 2018 of dz career gets buried again.
It's cute that he thinks his matches with Nakamura are untouchable....too bad no one talks about them.
Jarrius !!?
Ziggler just needs to tweak his offense add some strikes add a hold maybe change finisher to superkick zig zag combo ... but him bumping all over the place isn't marketable anymore
Chris...you are the man. I have watched four of your interviews this morning. You and your guests are extremely entertaining and informative.
Not everyone can work well in New Japan and not everyone can work well in WWE. But I sincerely believe he could flourish in NJPW.
Is there a video of that interview at access !!! Hahah
Unfortunately there is....
th-cam.com/video/eYEt9FZnpBA/w-d-xo.html
Its the name.....dolph ziggler it just isnt like a markee name. When i 1st heard it when he debut i was like "wtf is that"
Loves me some DZ, this feud with Rollins is probably the best thing happening in WWE right now. Seems like a cool guy as well.
He said he's the only 1-99 wrestler. Like Tommy Dreamer isn't right there lol
He could have been the Jericho of the PG Era such a waste...
He would do so well in the indies!
heel ziggler deserves a nwo style run the guys who are fed up with being buried
Dolphs matches with the miz, and roode are the best matches I've seen in years! I know when I see dolph come out that he's going to perform and he does. He needs to be a champion. He needs to be the guy that other wrestlers challenge for the belt. And make a damn great match.
