Date of birth: January 9, 1961

Dolph Ziggler had a warm relationship with his father. Actually, it was Donald, who inspired little Nic (Dolph’s real name) to become a wrestler. Donald took his son to the wrestling shows since the boy was 5. The father and the son occupied the nosebleed seats. Nic decided to become a wrestler at that tender age. That’s why his dad signed the boy to the amateur wrestling organization. At first, Nic was disappointed that there was no ring and ropes in the gym, but his father told, “You can start at this point and then make a transition to the higher level”. So, Nick started.

Donald spent his whole life in Ohio. He is the son of Donald Sr. and Nancy Nemeth. The man has a sister and a brother. He is married to Kelly Nemeth. The couple raised three sons. Nic’s father used to work as a driver.
