Dolph Ziggler probably isn't proud of his roots
Dolph Ziggler is now a former World Champion and won the Money in the Bank briefcase back in 2012, but it seems that no matter how much WWE push Ziggler, he will never be able to escape his past as a male cheerleader.

Ziggler got his start in WWE as part of The Spirit Squad, a five-man cheerleading group that predominantly were Vince McMahon's bodyguards and played a huge role in his feud with Shawn Michaels throughout 2005 and 2006.
Did you know a top WWE Superstar just wrestled outside the company? More details HERE
The Spirit Squad are former Tag Team Champions but were unable to achieve very much during their stint, since they were mostly there as talent enhancers.
It was only after Dolph left the group that he was able to find success as a singles star. Two members of the group returned on SmackDown last year to attack their former teammate, so it seems that the group now dislike Dolph just as much as he dislikes them.
