Previous matches between Dolph Ziggler — the blond shown here in powdery pink boy shorts — and Alberto Del Rio have not gone well for Mr. Ziggler. This is because Del Rio has his number — knowing the blondie is vulnerable to concussions, the Mexican bad ass keeps punting his head like a football until he can’t continue the fight.
But pretty boy Ziggler has a ton of heart. To my pleasure, he tried once again at the Money in the Bank pay-per-view to wrest his gold belt back from Del Rio.
Alberto entered the arena looking smug and confident, just like any cocky Heel should look. He wore shiny gold gear to match his shiny gold belt.
Holding the strap up as if he’s already won the match and flexing his beefy muscles builds anticipation — teasing us with the promise of agony and punishment to be unleashed on the eager, hapless, pretty-in-pink Ziggler. Excuse me while I squeal with glee.
Not long after the match begins, Ziggler finds himself exposed on the ring apron, so Del Rio flies across the ring to deliver his now trademarked soccer kick to Ziggler’s noggin. Oh man — not the repeated kicks to the skull again! Del Rio is so damn dangerous and merciless — you got to appreciate the cruel sonuvabitch! Does Del Rio read my blog?? Is that how he found out some of us fans really dig all that stomping and kicking??
Note to Dolph Ziggler: Let me apologize for saying this because you seem like a nice guy, but damn — I sure love watching you get beat up by Del Rio. You should challenge him to more matches — try to fight him at least twice a week. Because everyone knows he’s got your number and he’s just going to beat you down, time and time again, for our viewing pleasure.
Del Rio continues to demonstrate his wrestling prowess with a perfect German Suplex to plant Ziggler on the back of his skull. Meanwhile the commentators discuss his impressive pedigree, coming from one of the most successful families in Mexican wrestling. Their point is that Ziggler really never had a chance against this bad ass. Once again, Ziggler’s relative weakness is emphasized to inspire our compassion for the budding Baby-Face.
We are now into my favorite part of any recent Ziggler match where he wins Salesman of the Year as the beaten Babyface. Man, that is some realllly beautiful suffering — he is so pathetic and woeful. He has a way of cringing up his face like he is crying or getting ready to cry — he gets me every time when he does that and I gotta pause the video and stare at his suffering in awe. Am I the only weirdo who does that? Yeah, suffer you pink-wearing blondie show-off mo-fo. Kick him in the head again, Del Rio. YEAH!
Ziggler clearly works out like a beast to attain a smoking body like that — he must be in the best shape of his life right now in this particular match. Yet he is humbled and hurt, utterly dominated by Del Rio every single time without fail.
How nice of this man to degrade himself, to deny the power in his awesome body in order to put over Del Rio as the tougher, stronger bad-ass.
With a handful of pink tights, Del Rio flips his victim ass-over-applecart off the top rope to be splatted into the canvas! YOWZA — does this dangerous move demonstrate the greatness of Del Rio, or Ziggler?! The photos don’t do justice to this awesome car crash, so here is the animation:
FULL DISCLOSURE: So Dolph Ziggler’s girlfriend AJ came down to ringside and distracted him. Then she got in the ring to strike Del Rio with the belt, which caused Zigger to be disqualified for illegal interference. Ziggler was visibly angry that she caused him to lose the match and they broke up soon after. But I decided not to present that storyline (my blog, my rules) and I left AJ out of the equation in order to focus on the dynamics of Zigger’s relationship with Del Rio. I can include AJ the next time…
Even tho im Not a big fan of Del Rio, I have to say, he knows how to move in the ring…throw a punch, land a boot or kick ( as shown here against Ziggler ) and in a nutshell…”Sell” everything top notch in my eyes. He well knows his trade. Altho, the same goes for Ziggler. Being the pretty boy, face..Tan, well put together..and those teeth! I’ve yet to see him suffering and Not showing those chompers in clenched agony. He and Del Rio are indeed a perfect match when it comes to selling punishments and taking them. If the crowd loves it as I do..Vince…..keep the re-matches comming.
There’s something awesome when one man just has another man’s number, as you put it. It’s domination in its purest form. Concussion or not, no matter how hard Ziggler works or new strategies he tries, Del Rio is just always the better man. Love it.
