so...Dean Ambrose

[ilggant]

is he any good?

i have never seen the guy in action and i have just read that there are plans to instantly make him a star. do you think he will keep his end of the deal and take the proverbial ball and run with it, or is this all destined to end badly?

[rapidfire187]

Depends on what they do with him. He's quite different though. If WWE did something dumb like debut him as a smiling babyface, it would be awful.

[Spankymac is sick of the swiss]

He's great. He's better on the mic than he is in the ring, but he's no slouch there, either.

He's the next roddy piper

B-Movie superstar?

[zing]

Yes.
He's scarily good.
Think is, I don't actually like him.
I got really confused that I had a negative reaction to him when he debuted in FCW and everyone else was raving about him. It took me a while to realise that I was disliking him because he was brilliant at being an insane creepy heel dude. I generally love heels, and this is the first time this has happened in about as long as I can remember.
His feud with Regal has been the best all year, and if I met him, I'd hide behind a sofa.

Sometimes they come back for more

[sonofblaine]

There's a video on youtube that someone posted in the Ambrose vs Foley thread titled "Jon Moxley Tribute (MV)" that makes him look like a million bucks. I hope WWE doesn't screw him up.

Have you seen any of his matches? Dean is easily one of the best wrestlers in the wwe. He is one of the best wrestlers in the world.

Oh, no, I know he's great in the ring, but he's BETTER on the mic, which, to me, speaks volumes about him.

Well we all know what happened last time WWE tried to make somebody a big deal, fairly quick...

[An Old Villain]

This pretty much sums him up in a flash.
Language warning:




Also, theres a fan made piece on work with Regal in FCW that is a must view for anyone looking to get up to speed from username AllStarExpo. Its about the whol "true villains" bit they had.

[TheDieselTrain]

I dunno when he talks it doesn't seem natural to me. Like he's trying to act. Its hard for me to take people seriously like that. He looks kinda goofy too. So i'm kinda meh on him so far.

You have Kane is your sig.
Kane.
Show me any pic from any era of Glenn Jacobs wherein he doesnt look goofy.

[Deleted]

He's one of the new guys that I don't get the love for. I've seen his matches and promos and while solid they don't blow me away the way they do for others. It happens.

[percymania]

I've only seen one match, and it was against Seth Rollins in an FCW 15 match, which went into "overtime". It was a great match and both guys were really good. I'm hyped to see more of Ambrose.

Now that I think of it, I remember seeing clips of him battling CM Punk too recently, which was solid. The guy seems ready.

There ya go and just so you know my opinion hasn't changed.

Dean still is too indy-riffic for me.

[Xander Xplosion]

THAT. DAMN. GOOD.
Mic. Ring. Backstage cred.
We should all be very excited!

Has he had a history of being a loose cannon, a guy that goes over the line/takes liberties in the ring? This Foley thing has me wondering about him and if he's going to work out in the long run.

Not really. The only case I can think of that was long before he started his unhinged gimmick. It was back when he had a football playwr gimmick and he came to CHIKARA for the Young Lions' Cup. He took some liberties with Hydra, and he was rough around the edges, & had a bit of an ego to him for where he was in his career. So CHIKARA politely excused him & never brought him back.
