Former-WWE World Heavyweight Champion Dolph Ziggler recently spoke with Wrestling INC. During the interview, he had some stern words for his friend The Miz. Ziggler said that, while he and Miz are both pursuing entertainment careers outside of wrestling, Ziggler feels that his schedule is a little more intense.

“He almost resembles, to me, being a part-time wrestling guy because he doesn’t really have a lot of pay-per-view matches, because he’s not doing anything interesting. He’s more interested in doing his reality show and movies outside of WWE. Which I understand, it’s just that’s not my thing. I do my comedy shows in-between wrestling shows, so I don’t stop; I don’t take a break unless I have to. So, I’m a fan of The Miz’s work ethic, but I’m also a fan of being a full-time wrestler.”

Ziggler was pressed about his own hiatus from WWE TV, which he described more as a vacation, his first in reportedly 14 years.

“I needed a little time off and I asked for it; it was like 2½ months or something. And by the way, during that 2½ months, I still worked out once or twice a day and got a ton of stand-up comedy in. I was doing a ton of traveling.”
