No leopard print for Dolph.
Dolph Ziggler has been in WWE for well over a decade. In that time, the former World Champion has wore a multitude of new outfits including different colors, patterns, long pants, trunks and whatever you can think of. But, apparently leopard print is going too far. Speaking on The Archive of B-sox podcast, Ziggler was asked about his ring gear. He recalled how he once wore an all leopard print outfit, and he was seemingly yelled at for it when he got to the back after his match. Ziggler also joked that he had similar outcomes with other sets of gear.
Well, there’s a couple because [laughs] I’ve had several different gears that I was told when I got back to the gorilla position, ‘Never, ever wear those again.’ In other cases, way worse language was told to me to never wear it again. One of my favorite things to do was, I like leopard print. I got snow leopard gloves, a snow leopard vest, snow leopard trunks, and I got the craziest, biggest purple orange spray tan you could ever get, and I bleached my hair fresh the night before. I go, ‘This is so outlandish and douchey. It’s gonna be great.’ I loved it, I had a great time, and I got to wrestle John Morrison, one of my best friends. We had such a blast beating the hell out of each other, and I came to the back, and in some words I can never repeat, I was told, that this would never be worn again,

Ziggler has recently returned to RAW and is in the midst of a feud with Austin Theory. Earlier on in the interview, Ziggler mentioned that he’s doing well and stated that he loves what he does, and he feels fortunate, given the luck he’s had with injuries throughout his career.
Dolph Ziggler’s doing pretty great. I love what I do, I feel great, I’ve been very lucky. Injury-wise, in 19 years, I think I’ve missed a couple weeks of work, and that’s about it. I love having an extra day off these than we used to. It gives me more time to either go on an audition or work on some stand-up comedy or just work on what I’m getting focused on for Monday Night RAW, you make it,

It would be interesting to see if Dolph was able to bring the gear back under the new regime.
