Arda Ocal sent in a great info graphic with full stats for WWE Raw from last year. Sheamus had the most wins with 76 while Dolph Ziggler had the most losses at 56. Take a look at it at this link.

Brooks Oglesby recapped a dot com Q&A with Tyson Kidd at this link. In the article, WWE claims he’ll be out six to eight months with ligament and meniscus tears in his right knee and a fracture in his tibia plateau. I was told directly from a WWE spokesman he has a torn meniscus and the company expected him out for 6 months. Take from that what you will but there has been some clear miscommunication with the severity of this injury.

Most surprising thing about that infographic: Zack Ryder was on TV/PPV at least 30 times.

LOL! Brodus Clay has a higher win percentage than Cena.

Ziggler, Bryan, Cody, and Miz losing so much is a BIG injustice.

[Krimzon]

56 losses for Dolph Ziggler.

And people say he didn't need the win last night. The man is holding the MITB briefcase and is literally the biggest loser in the company for the last year.

And no one would have known that he had lost that much without looking at this graphic.

Television wins and losses are so overstated in their importance.

[King_Steve]

They are trying to push Ziggler into the main event by having him lose more matches than anybody else in the company? That doesn't make any sense.

[Stefan]

But the thing is, Daniel Bryan had quite a massive losing streak too before he cashed-in and won the World Title. ADR had lost several matches too.

People would have known he lost that much because they watch the product. One of the first things that comes to mind regarding Dolph Ziggler is that he always loses. That was one of Cena's main talking points during his promo on NYE. People may not know the exact number, but they know he loses an awful lot.

I don't watch wrestling and I knew this just from reading thread titles on reddit. Anything involving Ziggler includes how he oversells everything and always loses. I figured this would be well-known.

[Darkmania]

I have to admit that while Ziggle is entertaining, he does seem to be coming across as midcard guy at best, hard to get behind sometimes.

Heels are allowed to lose an awful lot. They're heels. They don't have to constantly win to maintain their heat.

I wish Chris Jericho was here to explain this better than I can.

They're trying to build a star here; one I assume they want to be credible and a threat. He can't be that if he has the stigma of always losing.

You did a perfectly fine job. It's really as simple as that. Ziggler losing really doesn't mean jack shit. He's better right now than even. I remember him losing the past two weeks, nothing beyond that. And when it comes down to it, he won the two most important matches he was in all year. Winning money in the bank, and retaining money in the bank.

It's not a big deal.

He doesn't have any "stigma." Jericho loses a hell of a lot, does he have a "stigma"?

Punk lost like 11 PPVs in a row before the pipe bomb, did his "stigma" prevent that angle from being successful?

The minute he wins the World Heavyweight Championship, all those losses will not make a single shred of difference.

I bet Jack Swagger wishes he could say that. NOBODY took that title reign seriously because he was absolutely nothing beforehand. The jury is still out on Ziggler. People don't have high hopes because he hasn't been booked strongly for his entire career.

[The Champ]

He was in the midcard beforehand and his reign was booked like shit. Ziggler is not in the midcard right now and I have every confidence that they will book his reign to be much better.

[HR]

Jericho most definitely does have a losing stigma Champ, what are you trying to say? Everyone knows that he's going to lose now because of his part time schedule.

How about win a little bit?

Cena has now pinned Dolph at least 4 times during this feud, all after 1 AA.

There's a difference here. Swagger fucking sucks.

Not true. Most people thought he would win the Rumble, he lost. Then most people thought he would win the Chamber, he lost. And then some people even thought he would win at Mania, and he lost.

And after he continued to lose nearly every big match in his 2012 run, was he ever considered a midcarder? No, he wasn't.

I don't even remember the first two times.

I honestly think the only people who do are the people who fixate on it.

Well if people were saying they thought he'd beat Punk at Mania then they were delusional. That was never going to happen.

And while I agree that no one's considering him a midcarder, there's a difference between him returning as a legend to put people over, compared to Dolph who's yet to make it to the top. In my opinion it doesn't matter if Dolph beats Cena now.

Only people who read spoilers or post on wrestling forums know this.

You don't remember Cena beating him 2 weeks in a row in a singles match then a tag match before TLC? That's when everyone was saying it was fine because Dolph would get the win at TLC.

Dolph loses over and over. He still claims to be the better man when he's clearly not. Heat.

Dolph finally gets that win over Cena, but he cheated, and still claims to be the better man. Heat.

Dolph cashes in MITB against a face. Heat.

All these things accomplish the purpose of being a heel.

[Krimzon]

Just like they did with his first World Title reign...

I'm pretty sure no one is booing him because he says he is the better man when he keeps losing to Cena. And half the people are cheering him anyway so it's obviously not as effective as you are suggesting.
