This one was all over the place

Dolph Ziggler and Apollo Crews are two superstars who are struggling to find their place in all that is going on with this whole new era. On one side, you have the former World Heavyweight Champion, a proven veteran and one of the best in-ring performers in the business.
On the other side, you have the young up-and-coming star, with an extremely high ceiling, who has yet to find himself in a worthwhile feud that will propel him to the level he needs to be in order to put his talents on display.

I can totally understand the need to turn Ziggler heel, but the overall process has been very underwhelming, to say the least.
The heel run he had when he had AJ Lee at his side, now that was money. But, this confused version of Ziggler, who goes aimlessly in various directions, it just seems as if the creative team is doing nothing more than filling air-time with whatever they can pull out of the sky.
In the end, this could have been an outstanding match. Both men have the ability to morph a degree of chemistry into any battle, but this was a total waste. With Crews getting the quick roll-up, it just cheapened the contest, even with Dolph’s post-match antics with the steel chair.

Jonathan believes integrity is vital in journalism and ensures his work is high on accuracy. He conducts in-depth research and verifies information from various sources before curating a feature.
Jonathan has engaged in many meaningful conversations with prominent pro wrestling personalities like Drew McIntyre and DDP. He grew up in Memphis, admiring Hall of Famer Hulk Hogan during WWE’s Golden Era in the ‘80s. He has attended many pro wrestling events and credits The Hulkster for making his childhood memorable.
Jonathan, a big fan of Bray Wyatt, would like to see the latter's brother, Bo Dallas, continue his legacy as Uncle Howdy. If he were to work on the storyline, Jonathan would book the return of Erick Rowan as Howdy’s muscle. He thinks it would be a great way to honor the former Universal Champion.
When not writing pro wrestling features, Jonathan likes to collect sports memorabilia and has amassed a large collection of event-used and autographed relics over the years.
