Dolph Ziggler appeared on The Archive of B-Sox podcast last week and talked about exploring other venues as an entertainer and combining his comedy aspirations with his wrestling career. He’s still on the roster for WWE RAW, but has also been looking at outside opportunities. You can read a few highlights (and listen to the complete episode) below:
How he feels about his current status in wrestling: “I love what I do, I feel great, and I’ve been very lucky, injury-wise. In 19 years, I think I’ve missed a couple of weeks of work.”
What his future plans are: ““It’s really fun for me to devote half of my week to [comedy]. You don’t get to wrestle forever. I’ve been very lucky so far and may be here for 10 non-stop years in a row … but I like being able to branch out — whether it’s to go talk politics somewhere, do an interview, do a one-man show, do an improv show, do an audition for something on Broadway.”
Finding new venues as an entertainer: “That helps you as a standup [comic], but it also helps you in the ring. So either way, it’s a win-win. But I would love in 15 years from now, I’m showing up in WWE four times a year to wrestle somebody in a big match and the rest of the year, I’m bouncing around being Mick Foley or doing a comedy show.”
