2) Dolph was a collegiate wrestler at Kent State University in the Mid-American Conference where he won 3 MAC Championships in the 165 lb weight class.
3) A Cleveland native, Dolph Ziggler is a huge fan of the Browns, Cavaliers, and Indians and can often often be spotted watching his favorite teams in person!
D: Who is the strongest wrestler in the locker room and what sport would you like to play if you weren't a wrestler?
Dolph Ziggler: I would play hockey if I had more time and Cesaro is definitely the strongest wrestler in the locker room.
D's Follow Up: I thought Jinder Mahal was the strongest wrestler in WWE. I do think Cesaro is strong because he does the Cesaro swing and wears cool athletic tape on his muscles. I think Dolph would be pretty good at hockey too. I've played floor hockey with my friend Colin and it was fun.
J: What was the best part about wrestling at Kent State in the MAC conference?
Dolph Ziggler: The best part was leaving Kent State with the most all-time wins at the school.
J's Follow Up: I think it's pretty cool that he did real wrestling before he went to WWE. It's also cool that he won so many MAC Championships.
We've been fortunate to meet many of WWE's top superstars like John Cena, Kevin Owens, Dean Ambrose, Cesaro, Charlotte Flair, Becky Lynch, and more. Having had the opportunity to spend time with Dolph Ziggler last week, I can say that he is right at the top of the list when it comes to interacting with us and his excitement to answer Jordan and Danny's questions.
Danny was surprised that Cesaro was Dolph's pick for strongest wrestler but I'm not surprised at all. He tends to test his strength in each match, holding suplexes for extended time, catching opponents off of the top rope, lifting heavy athletes into the Cesaro swing, and sending them spinning around the ring for what seems like a full minute. If I had to guess another that would be close, my pick would be Braun Strowman. He is massive and he is known to throw athletes in and out of the ring with ease.
We love that Dolph wrestled in college before entering the WWE and we especially appreciate that he competed in the Mid American Conference. As a graduate of Northern Illinois University which is in the MAC, I always root for MAC athletes who go on to the highest level of competition and have continued success. Working side by side with athletes from the MAC as a football equipment manager, I know how tough Dolph's feat of having the most wins in school history would be to achieve. The MAC constantly produces high level division 1 athletes that compete well versus any university. What an awesome honor for Dolph to leave Kent State with the most wins and I can see how that would be his greatest memory. Dolph Ziggler has always been a fan favorite here in our home and we are grateful for the awesome opportunity we had to visit him at Cricket Wireless in Wheeling!
