How Dolph Ziggler Started Loving Wrestling

In an interview, Dolph stated what got him into wrestling at the age of five.

And I quote.
“True story. When I was 5 years old, I went to my first WWE live event with my dad. I loved it so much I wanted to start wrestling,” he said in a telephone interview. “Two months later, I was wrestling at 5 years old. It’s been a dream job since I was a child.”

Dolph's wrestling also got him scholarships as he was dominant and broke records from when he started and still is doing so.
"Wrestling — the amateur kind — held most of his attention through school in Cleveland and won him a full-ride scholarship to Kent State University, where he majored in political science with a pre-law minor."

After Dolph received a developmental deal, he has done so much to gain knowledge and prepare for his wrestling career.
"After he was hired for a WWE development deal and made his way to the top level of the organization, Ziggler said he worked as hard as he could, attending two practices a day and soaking in as much as possible."
