10 most misused WWE wrestlers of 2017

<p>
WWE failed to bring out the best in some of it's incredible wrestlers

#7 Dolph Ziggler

<p>
Dolph Ziggler has been treated unfairly throughout his WWE run

Forget 2017, Dolph Ziggler may well be one of the most misused WWE wrestlers of all time.

A former two-time World Champion, main eventer, and the current reigning World Bumping Champion, Dolph Ziggler is legitimately one of the best in-ring performers in the company. The people in power, however, seem to think otherwise, as Ziggler has not had a single memorable or successful feud in years.

Despite his much-anticipated heel turn at the beginning of the year, Ziggler has done nothing of note all year, having feuded with the likes of Kalisto and Apollo Crews, among others. The problem, however, was that he was trading wins with these guys. Granted, nothing against Kalisto or Crews - they're both extremely gifted in their own right. But their positions on the card were low at this point. To have a former World Champion undergo a character change, only to repeatedly lose to a lower card talent, makes no sense to me whatsoever.

Nowadays, his gimmick is to basically complain about how people with gimmicks get over and he doesn't. And to be fair, his "not-getting-over" really isn't his fault, as WWE has played a pivotal role in generating crowd apathy towards Ziggler. What is his fault, though, is that he put on a less-than-serviceable match with a debuting Shinsuke Nakamura. Seriously, how is it that these two put on a mediocre-at-best match? It could've been a match of the night or even a match of the year candidate, but it fell completely flat.

Since then, WWE has continued to give me absolutely zero reasons to care about Dolph Ziggler, and clearly, his days as a main event talent are long behind him.
