'''Nick Nemeth''', known by his ring name '''[[Dolph Ziggler]]''' is a wrestler currently{{when}} working for [[World Wrestling Entertainment|WWE]]'s [[WWE Raw|RAW Brand]]. Known best for having a confident in-ring persona...and (to his chagrin) for being the guy that reminds a lot of longtime wrestling fans of a young [[Curt Hennig]].

{{creatortropes}}
* [[Aborted Arc]]: Didn't invoke his rematch clause for the US title, as he the very next week became number one contender for the WWE Championship.
* [[Alliterative Name]]: His real name, Nick Nemeth.
Line 16:
* [[Boring but Practical]]: His sleeper hold submission. Even as far as submissions go, it's one of the oldest and simplest in the book. But among its benefits is that it's easily executed and can be used on a wider range of opponents.
* [[Breakup Breakout]]: The only one amongst the Spirit Squad to find success in WWE as a singles competitor, even managing to become a Triple Crown Champion somewhere along the way.
* [[Canon Dis ContinuityDiscontinuity]]: You mean this guy used to be Chavo "Kerwin White" Guerrero's caddy? And they don't bring up his time in the Spirit Squad either - even though he technically won a title (WWE Tag Team Championship) during that stint.
* [[Card-Carrying Villain]]: One of the few active wrestlers to use 'insider' jargon in the context of his gimmick. If you look at a lot of his ring costumes nowadays, you'll notice the word [[Heel]] (usually accompanied by a [[Twitter|Hashtag]]) printed somewhere. Hell, even his username on [[Twitter]] had "HEEL" (yes, in all caps like that) in it at one point - just in case you still didn't know what side of the fence he stood on.
* [[Catch Phrase]]: "Hi, I'm Dolph Ziggler." (Lasted until he used "I Am Perfection" for the first time.)
Line 30:
* [[Deadpan Snarker]]: On NXT season 4. During challenges and matches he's not involved in (as an active wrestler at least), he has a tendency to grab a mic and mock whatever is going on.
** Has this in '''spades''' on the online show he now hosts.
* [[Discontinuity Nod]]: After he was [[Kayfabe]] fired in the 600th episode of [[WWE Smackdown]], Ziggler makes a hilarious [[Leaning Onon the Fourth Wall]] post on his Twitter account which, among other things, mentions how he "used to caddy around and actually went through a rigorous gymnastics and cheerleader training".
* [[Dye Hard]]: See below.
* [[Expy]]: Of [[Curt Hennig|Mr. Perfect]], primarily due to his former theme song, the frizzy blond hair and the agile technician wrestling style. Oh, if only he could do the Perfect Plex.
