Dolph Ziggler has political aspirations.
The TNA star, currently going by the name of Nic Nemeth, recently spoke to the Generation of Wrestling podcast to promote the Rebellion PPV. He discussed things such as the Cleveland Browns relocation controversy, his upcoming match with A. J. Francis and more.
During the talk, the former World Champion also revealed what his career plans were when he first entered the wrestling world. One interesting aspiration for Dolph Ziggler was to enter politics, and the former WWE star mentioned that he still wants to do that:
20 years ago, the plan was to be pre-law at Kent State, become a lawyer while I’m training for wrestling, become a two-time world champion, host Saturday Night Live, join the UFC for one fight, and then go on to be the mayor of Palm Springs and then move my way into being a senator. I still have those political aspirations; I love everything about politics.
Dolph Ziggler later claimed that he still likes to read about law and learn as much as he can in his free time. He said that he absolutely will love to be involved in politics, and maybe he can do something good for his hometown of Cleveland down the line.
Talents choosing politics as a post-wrestling career is not a new thing, and a number of them have found success in the transition. Jesse Ventura is the former governor of Minnesota and Glenn 'Kane' Jacobs currently serves as the Mayor of Knox County. Apart from this, former TNA star Matt Morgan is the former Mayor and current commissioner of the city of Longwood.
