Dolph Ziggler Says He’s Not Pleased With Brief WWE Title Run

Daniel Pena

On the February 18 episode of SmackDown, Vickie Guerrero fired Edge, claiming that he had attacked SmackDown General Manager Theodore Long several weeks prior, and awarded Dolph Ziggler the World Heavyweight Championship during a coronation ceremony later that night. Long returned during the ceremony however, and Guerrero revealed Ziggler as the attacker after being accused of orchestrating the attack by Long. Long rehired Edge and gave him his rematch, in which Edge regained the championship. Ziggler’s first World Championship reign lasted 11 minutes and 23 seconds, the shortest in history behind Jeff Hardy. After the match, Long fired Ziggler from the brand.

In an exclusive interview with DolphZiggler.com, “Heel” comments on his brief run as World Heavyweight Champion. They ask if it is better to have won and lost the title than to have never won it at all.

“Well, from an independent booking standpoint, it helps to say: “Former World Heavyweight Champion” (A la’ David Arquette and Vince Russo) otherwise, it’s painful to me,” he responded. “I work so damn hard every day of my life and always have, and as much as I would have loved to sneak in the backdoor (like a real HEEL would), I almost don’t count it. I will get a legitimate title run, just not sure where though.”

Last night on Monday Night Raw, Ziggler was introduced as the newest member of the Raw roster, as he defeated John Morrison in a singles match. He revealed what he did during his time away from the ring.

“Since being fired, I have been enjoying the beautiful weather of Bikini Bottom; relaxing my body, stealing the show at the Playboy Mansion party and have recently just flew my parents in to check out my new house in Hollywood, AZ,” he said. “I had a very hectic schedule with SmackDown, and I loved it. But, I’m resting my body and enjoying life while I figure out what the next step is.”

Ziggler also comments on his appearance on MTV’s Silent Library, which WWE Diva had the best Playboy pictorial, what it takes to get a follow from him on Twitter, and for the first time ever, reveals his workout secrets.

Sunny was announced last night on Raw as the latest inductee for WWE’s Hall of Fame Class of 2011. Sunny, who’s real name is Tammy Sytch, commented on the announcement on her Facebook account.

“Thank you to everyone for the congratulatory messages…..It means the world to me,” she wrote. I couldn’t be happier or prouder to be given this amazing opportunity. Thanks to the WWE for thinking that highly of me. And to my facebook family, sorry I had to lie to you all this whole time, lololol. :)”

Sytch persistently denied online reports that she would be announced for this year’s WWE Hall of Fame class, saying as late as yesterday that she was appearing for Ring of Honor during WrestleMania weekend. Sytch revealed today that she kept the news secret since January 10.

Her inductor, however, was not announced. She speculated that all of the current WWE Divas will pay tribute to her by inducting her together.

Lots Of Live Notes From Monday’s Episode Of RAW

Staff

– WWE Hall of Famer Steve Austin had an entertaining segment on RAW, giving stunners to Michael Cole and JBL and pouring beer on both men. However, many people backstage at the show were wondering why WWE didn’t get more out of Austin and have him do an extended in-ring promo like The Rock did a few weeks ago.

– Evan Bourne defeated Ted DiBiase (w/Maryse) in a dark match that took place prior to Monday’s RAW. The match went about 5 minutes and was said to be decent. Bourne was pretty over with the crowd, but DiBiase barely got a reaction when he came out.

– The end of Monday’s RAW saw The Miz appear out of nowhere and attacking his WrestleMania opponent, John Cena. A fan who was at the show sent in word that The Miz came from under the ring.

– A young fan tried to rush the ring when Miz laid out Cena, but security stopped him and removed him from the building.

– JBL, Michael Cole, Daniel Bryan and Dolph Ziggler were all trending worldwide on Twitter during RAW.

– MMA fighter and former NFL star Herschel Walker was backstage at RAW.

Triple H vs. Undertaker News, JR Talks Snooki, SvR 2012

Staff

– With The Undertaker and Triple H headed for a showdown at WrestleMania in just over 3 weeks, we’ve got an interesting backstage news item to pass along regarding the match. As most are aware of, Triple H has already tried to end “The Streak” – ten years ago at WrestleMania 17 back in 2001.

According to a WWE Source, company officials have ordered that the WrestleMania 17 match not be acknowledged at all,  because there’s a feeling it will take away from the marketability of the match and fan perception that Triple H actually can end the streak.

– There is a rumor that the 2012 version of WWE’s SmackDown vs. RAW video game will feature a mode where you can have your newly created Superstar compete in NXT challenges and matches.

–WWE Hall of Famer Jim Ross had this to say about Jersey Shore star Snooki hosting RAW next week:

“Lots of old school wrestling fans are squealing like a pig stuck under a gate w/ the announcement that Jersey Shore’s Snooki will be the guest host of an upcoming Monday Night Raw. Obviously, WWE is simply trying to get her appearance noticed in outside media outlets which is timely with WM27 getting closer. It’s a PR move folks so I wouldn’t make any more of it than that. Snooki’s time on MNR likely will be of the ‘cup of coffee’ variety but will also get TMZ-like exposure that reaches non wrestling fans. “

What Happened After RAW Went Off The Air

Credit to reader Joshua Rollins for this live report after Monday’s RAW went off the air:

After Raw went off the air, Michael Cole came out in a referee shirt while The Miz was on the ramp and John Cena was in the ring. He said he was going to referee the main event, and if Cena and Orton don’t follow his rules, the Raw GM has given him the right to suspend both men through WrestleMania.

For the bonus main event of Miz & C.M. Punk vs. Orton & Cena, Punk came out first. Then, Miz came back out. Then, Orton came out and Punk put on Cena’s “Via Satellite” t-shirt and Cena’s hat.

Bonus Dark Match: John Cena & Randy Orton beat WWE champion The Miz & C.M. Punk with Michael Cole as special referee. Punk had funny body language the entire match. About five minutes into the match, all of the Superstars were on the mat. King then came into the ring and ripped the ref shirt off Cole, who ran to the back. King then put on the shirt. By this time, all four men were up. Cena hit an Attitude Adjustment on Miz at the same time Orton dropped Punk with the RKO. Double three count. Cena and Orton won.

Shad Gaspard's Mugshot

Earlier today, video footage was posted online of police officers arresting former WWE star Shad Gaspard over the weekend for an incident that started off as a jaywalking offense and quickly turned into Shad allegedly resisting arrest.

Sgt. Rich Weiner of the Columbus Police Department told TMZ that according to the police report, Gaspard was observed by an officer walking in the roadway and obstructing traffic. He says Gaspard ignored an officer’s request to get out of the street and refused to provide the officer with ID when asked several times.

Sgt. Weiner says the officer tried arresting Gaspard, but he “broke free from the officers as they attempted to take him into custody.”

Sgt. Weiner says the video of Shad on the ground being man-handled by several police officers does not show the events which led to him “being put on the ground and being placed in handcuffs.”

Former WWE Diva Lilian Garcia, who is currently working on her second music album, recently spoke with the Miami Herald. Here are some highlights of what she said about:

Returning To WWE One Day: “I say, ‘Never say never,’. Look at The Rock now. It is something that I’m definitely tied to. Once you are in the WWE for a length of time, it’s a family base. You are tied in, no matter if you leave and take a break. Sometimes you come back; so you never know.”

The Rock’s WWE return: “I really didn’t think he would come back. I really thought with his movie career and all. I don’t blame him, though. It had been seven years. When he was making movies, he didn’t have that experience being with the fans and feeling that electricity from the fans. He thrives on that. It was having that experience again. People were tweeting me telling me how much they missed the interviews with me and The Rock. It was just such great chemistry that he and I had with those interviews. As soon as I saw him on TV again, it brought back memories of those days. It was just really cool.”
