"I had a very fun career there," Ziggler told WWE.com. "We did a lot of cool things, we won a conference championship, [and] a lot of special bonds [were] made with friends who I still talk to to this day."
Ziggler acquired many impressive distinctions while wrestling for the Golden Flashes, including graduating as the university's career leader in victories, as well as being a three-time Mid-American Conference champion. He is also only the third wrestler in the history of the program to be a four-time NCAA qualifier.

"I started wrestling when I was five," Ziggler said. " I lost my first match and cried in front of my dad, and I never wanted to do that again. I grew from that day on, and when I get up there I will have a couple of people to thank."
WWE congratulates Ziggler on this distinct honor.
