WWE star Dolph Ziggler spoke with The Metro of the UK and spoke about his injury history. "I’ve been very lucky," Ziggler said. "I’ve had two concussions in six years and broke my nose a couple of times but a lot of people have constant injuries. Edge is amazing, he was a very positive influence on me and helped me out backstage but he had to retire recently because of back injuries."

Ziggler was also asked whether it's a source of irritation that the perception of some is that all wrestlers are on steroids. "It is because we’ve gone from the big burly guys who eat hotdogs and live a rough lifestyle to wrestlers who are all health nuts and work out every day," Ziggler said. We’re constantly tested and there are measures to make sure we’re all safe and healthy. I hope that perception changes because we’re highly tuned athletes."
