Hello everyone, welcome back to Amolipi channel,
where you can learn more interesting info about your favorite actors and athletes.
In today's video, we'll be discussing the career and some interesting facts of Dolph Ziggler.
American professional wrestler and stand-up comedian Dolph Ziggler was born on July 27,
1980 in Cleveland, Ohio as Nicholas Theodore Nemeth. He is currently signed to WWE,
where he performs on the SmackDown brand under the ring name Dolph Ziggler. Overall, in WWE, he has
held 14 total championships. Sports Illustrated described Ziggler as "phenomenal in the ring".
Nemeth was born together with his two brothers. His younger brother Ryan is also a professional
wrestler currently working for All Elite Wrestling and previously worked with WWE
and wrestled in NXT under the ring name Briley Pierce. His other brother, Donald,
was sentenced to 15 years after pleading guilty to involuntary manslaughter, kidnapping, and robbery.
From 2009 to 2011, Nemeth was romantically link to Nikki Bella, a former two-time WWE Divas Champion.
Nemeth used to date actress Amy Schumer back in 2012.
Their relation was later called off because Schumer considered Nemeth "too athletic".
As of 2021, his girlfriend is American wrestler Ashley Mae Sebera, who is known in the ring as
Dana Brooke. They began dating sometime in 2015.
Nemeth has been a fan of professional wrestling since he was five years old and he decided
to become a professional wrestler at age 12. Nemeth attended St. Edward High School,
where he was an amateur wrestler, holds the school record for most pins in a career with 82,
and his team won the National Championships on two occasions.
Nemeth continued with the same when he joined the Kent State University.
He set the record for most career wins in the team's history and is now second all time.
Nemeth 's career breakthrough was in 2004 after signing a contract with World Wrestling
Entertainment (WWE) in 2004, right after he was about to join Arizona State University to pursuit
law. He was assigned to their developmental territory Ohio Valley Wrestling (OVW),
debuting as "Nick Nemeth". He was promoted to WWE's Raw brand shortly afterwards in 2005 but was
sent back to OVW shortly afterwards, being given the name Nicky and joining the cheerleading-themed
Spirit Squad, who debuted on RAW in January 2006 and won the World Tag Team Championship
once before returning to OVW that November. In September 2007, Nemeth was assigned to Florida
Championship Wrestling (FCW), where he won the FCW Florida Tag Team Championship twice,
with Brad Allen and later Gavin Spears. Upon his return to the main roster in
September 2008, Nemeth was repackaged as Dolph Ziggler. Since then, he has held the
World Heavyweight Championship twice, the Intercontinental Championship six times,
the United States Championship twice, the Raw Tag Team Championship twice, and the
SmackDown Tag Team Championship once. Overall, in WWE, Nemeth has held 14 total championships.
As of 2021, Dolph Ziggler net worth is about $5 million.
That is mostly through his wrestling career.
When WWE called him back to main roster after the Spirit Squad spell,
Nick Nemeth needed a name and he went to his friends for advice.
One of his friends came up with the name ‘Ziggler’ and Nick liked it.
‘Dolph’ was the name of his great grandfather and he joined them together to produce his ring name.
The success of the name is still up for debate as once Mick Foley said that Ziggler will have
a tough time succeeding with a name like this. While we know all about Ziggler’s talents in
the wrestling ring, most of us are not aware about his spare time hobby of being a stand-up
comedian. Ziggler has already held numerous shows and has a good reputation in the area.
His first show came back in June 2013 at Los Angeles and Ziggler then went on to
collaborate with some television writers so that he could improve his lines. Ziggler is
pretty serious when it comes to stand-up comedy and might take it as a career path if he quits
professional wrestling. Else, he would keep it as a good retirement plan just like Mick Foley did.
Ziggler is fluent in American Sign Language. That's all for today and we hope you enjoy
