The Showoff took to Twitter today to send Matt Cardona a message on his 38th birthday. The 42-year-old noted in his message that he cannot believe he ever lost to Cardona during his career.
"Happy birthday, broski (I still can’t believe I lost to you)," tweeted Ziggler.
Cardona responded to the message and noted that wrestling is real.

Dolph Ziggler discloses what he wants to be remembered for in WWE
Dolph Ziggler has had a remarkable career and recently revealed what he would like to be remembered for by fans.
He has won 11 singles championships during his career, but his biggest accomplishment may be his longevity in the industry. He recently took part in a Q&A on his Twitter account and answered a question from a fan about his legendary career.
The fan wondered what Dolph wants to be remembered for in wrestling and Ziggler claimed that he wants people to remember his work ethic, and for being a legit iron man for the company.
"Being a legit iron man, who doesn't get hurt, doesn't call in sick, can't be outdone (unless booked that way), is 10/10 on every category there is in pro wrestling and after all that, still fights the fight everyday and refuses to sit back and coast. Anyone disagree? Good f'n luck," tweeted Ziggler.
