WWE superstar Dolph Ziggler disclosed in the year 2020 that Vince McMahon never pushed him as the main guy of the company because the chairman of the company did not like his hairstyle. Ziggler had enormous talent and he even won the World heavyweight championship twice but the company never pushed him consistently because Vince McMahon did not like certain things about him.
Back in 2020, Ziggler had a chat with Alex McCarthy, where he spoke about the various reasons behind his inconsistent booking in WWE. He said that 10 years ago someone told him that the reason why he was not able to have a credible run as a world champion was his hair.
WWE has been quite particular about their build of a superstar. Vince McMahon has pushed several men who fit tick the category of big muscles, tall height, great wrestling and the skill to sell tickets. It looks like Vince was not a fan of Dolph Ziggler’s blonde hair. As a result, Ziggler never received consistent push in his WWE career at start.
“One time a long time ago, I was told the reason I’m not credible for world championships – this is 10 years ago, maybe longer, whatever – the reason I’m not credible enough to be winning world championships is because of my hair. Not because I get beat up, not that I lose every match, not that I don’t talk – it was because of my blonde hair,” he explained.

Watching last nights show, I will say that @NicTNemeth had the most Dolph Ziggler match from 3 years ago. He needs a slight adjustment in either his move set or presentation, because it was just more of the same, the reason why Nic lost something. He needs to re-invent himself pic.twitter.com/LTTbwMJ3nU
