WWE: Analyzing All The Falls In Dolph Ziggler vs. Seth Rollins

Ninth Fall

This was the fifth Drew McIntyre fall, and it is pretty much self-explanatory. Rollins had the match won at the end of regulation, but he just didn’t have enough time or energy to cover Dolph and capitalize. Kurt Angle came out to give sudden death overtime, and Ziggler pulled out the victory via McIntyre’s blatant interference. It was the second fall from a Zig Zag, and it was a heart-breaking moment for everyone watching.

Almost nobody wanted Ziggler, who needed McIntyre’s help and underhanded tactics, to win, but that’s exactly what happened thanks to McIntyre. Rollins has serious issues with McIntyre right now, and he’ll need to get his revenge soon. That could potentially happen at SummerSlam or even later if Dean Ambrose chooses to help Rollins even the odds against Ziggler and McIntyre.

Concluding Thoughts

In summary, McIntyre caused five falls in this match. He caused one by disqualification, one by the Claymore, and two more by moves Dolph was able to hit afterwards. McIntyre then caused the Zig Zag in sudden death, meaning that of the nine falls in this match, five were caused by “The Psychopath”.

If it weren’t for McIntyre, Rollins would have won 3-1 instead of losing 5-4, which also may have been a more palatable score to Iron Man match purists. Notice that in that case, Ziggler’s only point would have been from a “dirty pin”, meaning that he never pinned Rollins without interference or cheating. So for those of you worrying about Rollins’s credibility for a potential Universal Championship match, I would keep that thought in perspective.
