Dolph Ziggler shares his first memory of WWE RAW
WWE RAW has created many memories for wrestling fans during its three decades on television. Many of today's most popular superstars were massive wrestling fans growing up, including former World Heavyweight Champion Dolph Ziggler.
The Showoff recalled a humorous argument he had with his father about having to watch the pyro before the show live on TV every week. His father simply could not understand why he couldn't just tape the show instead of rushing home on Monday nights.
"I knew that every Monday night, I had to race home before 8:59 to make sure that I saw the fireworks. And then my dad would just say, 'Why don't you just tape it and watch the fireworks from the week before? It doesn't really matter.' I said, 'It's not the same. It's the fresh fireworks to start off my Monday Night RAW at 8:59.' So that's my memory," said Dolph Ziggler. [00:29 - 00:47]
