Wrestlezone’s Top 10: Rise and Falls From 2011

September 6, 2012

9. Dolph Ziggler- Rise

Many will wonder why Ziggler is so low on the list. At this point a year ago, Ziggler was holding a solid spot in the mid card status as United States Champion. He would continue his success until losing it at TLC to Zack Ryder at the end of 2011. He was one of the “internet favorites” heading into the Royal Rumble, maybe as a surprise entrant, but not a realistic choice. Ziggler would continue his path of mediocrity through Wrestlemania until he was a last minute replacement for Alberto Del Rio at No Way Out. His big break came when he would win Money in the Bank. You can say he deserves it already, and I would not disagree with you. Dolph Ziggler has been a solid entertainer for quite some time, headlining Raw and Smackdowns against Orton, Cena, Sheamus, and many others. He is not quite there yet, but time will show you that he will be there for a very long time. Dolph Ziggler rose from an upper mid card talent, to the next World Heavyweight Champion.

Josh controls most of the creative writing and ideas for the show on a weekly basis, as well as an on-air talent.

Aside from working with WrestleZone, Isenberg began his career in Broadcast Journalism interning at ESPN and worked with CBS Radio for three years. He has also had the opportunity to interview some of the best athletes and performers alive, including Andrew McCutchen, Ben Roethlisberger, Chris Jericho, Billy Gunn, Karl Anderson, Matt Hardy, Steven Strasburg and others.

Currently, Josh Isenberg works for Major League Baseball in their Advanced Media Productions. He grew up in Pittsburgh and went to Point Park University, which is where Chair Shot Reality is filmed each week.

His life outside of his obsession with wrestling include being a savant for Seinfeld, NFL, NBA, MLB and many television shows. He also has an undying love for musicals, which includes many shows he was a part of in high school. Some of his favorite wrestling moments can be linked to such superstars as Edge, The Rock, Bret Hart, Shawn Michaels and The Great Khali.
