Original Plans for Dolph Ziggler & Ric Flair Nixed, Backstage Feeling on Monday's Raw

Published on January 24, 2013 by | 2260 views
- There was a lot of backstage talk about Monday's RAW this week. It was acknowledged that the promos by CM Punk, Paul Heyman and The Rock were all very good to build up the Royal Rumble but besides that, the feeling was that the show sucked. As noted, lots of people were talking about how bad John Cena's promo was.

- The current storyline where The Miz is being pushed as the "next Ric Flair" was originally earmarked for Dolph Ziggler. With Ziggler, the idea was going to be more of Flair being his manager but Ziggler was going to be given the Figure Four and doing the same gimmick Miz is doing as a babyface.

Regarding turning Ziggler babyface, it looks like those plans have been put on hold for the time being.

Think Pumbaa hates too much on the guys most people think are on the cusp of getting big, and will probably say the same when guys you like start getting more popular. I do agree though that Ziggler oversells and it shouldn't be praised like people online tend to think and think the Vicki point is ...

I'm kinda glad that Ziggler isn't going to be managed by Flair; though truth, when I look at Ziggler and AJ, I kind of see a young Shawn Michaels with the late and great Sherri Martel and I think in long term, it may work for both Dolph and AJ.

Miz I think needs that help, especially coming from some...

lol relent...

Sandow should be the future top heel of the WWE... He can talk, his offence is there and believable and the guy can sell well enough... He's got the entire package, which is what is needed in the main event... Sure people like Cena and Hardy don't either, but that doesn't mean we need ...

Lol, my point is that if you can sell the Stunner right, then you are truly good at selling, lol
Pumbaa Zekunt
Stunners are piss easy to take and sell right, you just have to follow the rebounds momentum... Over selling them correctly though... Now that's hard... only the Rock has managed to do that well...

JBL has done a pretty good job. Shane McMahon also had a solid oversell.
