Why Dolph Ziggler will be a great success as a face!

Only two weeks ago fans gave Dolph Ziggler a mixed reaction. Hardcore fans, and people like myself always cheered every time Ziggler's theme song would hit, while some of the younger fans would "boo" on him, meaning that his heel-role worked at least on someone. Just like Daniel Bryan and Cm Punk, Dolph Ziggler will always create a mix reaction from the crowd as long as he is a "heel". But that all changed at Payback. Ziggler and Del Rio switched roles in the middle of the match. Del Rio found his old self again, while Ziggler showed a new side of himself. The story-line edition was based on the fact that Ziggler still struggled with his real-life concussion. Del Rio took advantage of this, and would not stop kicking Ziggler in the head until he got the win. Ziggler refused to surrender, every time Del Rio hit him he would not give in. The bravery and heart Ziggler showed made the whole arena go behind him. At the same time Del Rio started to act more and more like a heel, and he stopped caring about the crowd, something a face never does. It all ended with Del Rio managing to score a pin-fall victory on the hurt champion. After the match Del Rio was being booed out of the arena, while Ziggler got a standing ovation from the crowd. This was the start of Ziggler's long waited face-turn. Ziggler has been a fan-favorite within the majority of the crowd for almost two years now, so this has been something a lot of us have been waiting to happen for a long time. Hopefully Orton will get his long-waited heel-turn now, since Ziggler will most likely manage to fill in his spot as a face. But will this be a successful face-run for Ziggler? I think it will, and here is why:

1) His charisma
Unlike any others except Bryan and Cena on his best, Dolph Ziggler has the most electric charisma as a performer. As a heel he managed to utilize his charisma to provoke the most amazing reactions from the crowd. And now as a face, I think he will do the same again, but this he will get an even better reaction back. If you want a hot crowd, you need guys like Ziggler to be out there playing the good guy. He has this amazing connection with the crowd, just like Cm Punk and Daniel Bryan has. When Ziggler plays a good guy, you can bet your as on the fact that fans will fall in love with him, purely because of his great charisma.

2) His underdog look
Ziggler does not look like a frightening heel. He was more the smart and slick kind of heel. But his look and size makes him the perfect kind of underdog. The WWE-universe loves a underdog who manages to overcome the odds. Cm Punk played an underdog as a face in 2011, and he got the whole universe behind him. But Ziggler has the look and abilities to be an underdog. He will most likely play the role as a fighting underdog during his first face-run within the company. His ability to connect with the crowd, and his charisma will make him the perfect underdog that we can get behind and cheer for.

3) His ability to make his opponent look good
Both on the mic and in the ring Ziggler has this amazing ability to make his opponent look so good. His ability to sell his opponent's moves are simply amazing. He could make the "Spanish announce-table" look like a frightening opponent, that is how good he is. As a face and an underdog, you need Ziggler's abilities to make the feud entertaining. Because both on the mic and in the ring Ziggler will make his opponent look as good and frightening as possible. No man within the WWE sells moves and finishers better than Dolph Ziggler. Seth Rollins is the only one that comes near him at this particular ability.

4) His in-ring skills
Ziggler is such a great performer. As a face this is so important, because if you are not a great and creative performer, you will have a hard time getting the fans behind you. The Miz is one example that comes in mind. Even though he has improved a lot lately, during the start of his face-turn, The Miz had problems delivering solid matches, which ended up with the fact that a lot of fans did not get behind him. But Ziggler is one of the best performers within WWE now, and he should have no problem putting up great matches in the start of his face-turn, which means a lot of fans will get behind him.

5) Conclusion
Personally I think Ziggler will be a great successes as a face, and I think he could be a top-guy for WWE if they give him the chance to prove himself in a huge match-up. Time will show how this unexpected turn will evolve, but I am confident that it will be a success.
