I see why Nic got accepted to Law school. The guy can talk for days, and he's so analytical and detail-oriented when it comes to ALL of his performances. I watched his debut as a member of the Spirit Squad when I was in elementary school and watched his whole career up until his release last fall. I wish him the best in the future and hope he shows the world the superstar he truly is.

Nic, along with performers like Rusev, are classic examples of how many performers were wasted by Mr. McMahon over the past decade or so. Nic is his generation's Shawn Michaels. It's a shame that his potential was never realized.

@TarekElsakka 8 месяцев назад

I stopped watching the WWE years ago and I am slowly getting back into it, and I'm sad that Nic is no longer there. He was one of my favorite superstars, he absolutely shined at every big opportunity they gave him because he was so good in the ring and could work with anyone. Shawn Michaels was my all-time favorite wrestler growing up, and I know there are different levels to the game but Nic (or Dolph as I always knew him) reminded me of him in a way. All the best to him, I know he's going to shine somewhere else.

@janus78 8 месяцев назад

All seriousness, this talent has been buried by WWE in the good hand column for decades. That NJPW presentation, he looks the part. He could legit reinvent himself in a strong style format. NJPW has lost so many talents, not saying he could replace Osprey, but he could be a top Gaijin for the company if he wants to be and have rocking matches with the best wrestlers that company has and that company actually allows cross promotion matches he could still do every nonwwe related thing he wants to. Can't wait to see what he does next.

My most memorable Mark Henry match was the Elimination of 2013 where he tore his opponents out. I remember him being on fire and the crowd was roaring. This memory has always stuck to me. Little did I know that a lot of this match was improvised by Dolph Ziggler. Hearing Ziggler reflect on it makes that match even more special to me.
