Booker T questions if Ziggler wasted years trying to steal the show and fell short

On the latest episode of his Hall of Fame podcast, WWE legend Booker T drew an interesting comparison between Dolph Ziggler and Roman Reigns. While talking about The Show-off, the WWE Hall of Famer pointed out that when Dolph Ziggler was new to WWE, he focused more on stealing the show, instead of being “selfish” like Roman Reigns or Shawn Michaels. Booker T claimed that being selfish is one of the traits every WWE superstar should have.

“You have to wonder if Dolph Ziggler wasted a decade-plus being the guy wanting to go out there and steal the show opposed to wanting to be like a Roman Reigns, the guy. Dolph Ziggler was a guy that wanted to go out and perform better than anybody else as opposed to going out and being selfish,” said Booker T.
