I want Dean Ambrose to be the top face

[Nic Nemeth]

Cena is stale and old.

Bryan is injured and short.

Reigns is green and unrelatable.

But Ambrose is the perfect mix of complete psycho and serviceable main-eventer. The way he sells an angle, the way he wrestles a match, the way he cuts a promo, the fact that his attire is something every single fan wears each Sunday, he's probably the best chance they got to recapture the magic that Austin had.

If they're smart, they can turn Ambrose vs Rollins vs Reigns into this decade's most memorable feud.

What about yourself? Maybe you might get a match against Ambrose?

You're actually my favorite wrestler, it was so awesome when you cashed in MITB against Del Rio in the RAW after WrestleMania 29.

Thanks man, that means a lot.

*loses to Del Rio who is more aggressive this week after losing to Sheamus again*

Austin wore traditional ring attire in spite of his Everyman persona. I like Dean's tank top and jeans, but he, unlike Austin, has that weird "heart throb" appeal, that makes me think he should wrestle in trunks/tights.

[Professor Chaos]

Ambrose is the top face. If Vince don't like it Tough S**t.

[BigJerichool222]

Unlike Roman Reigns, I can relate to Dean Ambrose as we are both titty masters.

[EoE: Well There's Your Problem]

I too would like him to be A top face... Because we can have more than one.

[Xxcjb01xX [PIECE OF: SH-]]

I see Dean as an Antihero of sorts, does whatever the hell he wants and no one can stop him. A loose cannon, a type of snake. Something along those lines maybe.

[HollywoodArmbar]

I think he can certainly go far, I find him the most captivating character on WWE television.

[Mozenrath]

I think he's a star. I don't think he should be THE guy, but that isn't a knock on him. More that it would be really f***ing weird for his character to be Mr. Cereal box, shaking hands at press junkets, etc.

[revolverjgw]

Personally I find Reigns more relatable than Ambrose because I too am lusted after by women and my mic skills suck. Whereas I am not a psychopath.

Honestly, I don't think the next top face is on the roster yet, he's still down in NXT handing out Helluva Kicks.

Provided that WWE doesn't screw it up (not holding my breath on that one), Zayn will definitely get over, and have a successful career.

Back to the topic at hand, Ambrose is one of those guys who are just destined to be at the top. Though I suspect they'll want to keep Reigns face at the expense of Ambrose down the road. If Triple H is as smart as he apparently is, Ambrose stays face and goes the Austin route.

Lastly, I don't think the jeans and tank top will be a permanent thing. Ambrose spent most of his pre-main roster career in tights/knee pads/wrestling boots. I suspect they'll make a comeback soon enough. I think Ambrose's current gear is just WWE's attempt to keep the 3 former Shield members as unique to each other as possible for right now. I also don't expect Rollins or Reigns to keep their present gear for much longer. I don't think world champion Reigns would work well with the gear he presently has.

If I ran THIS BUSINESS, I'd be building towards Dean Ambrose vs. Stardust for the Mania main event where they unify every title in the world and compete for a Nobel Peace Prize.

[keezy]

To me Dean's reactions seem more genuine than Reigns ones now, Ambrose seems more fresh and is finally wrestling his own style and cutting promos that match his character, people seem excited to see him.

Reigns is starting to stink of a top face, always getting the upper hand, 3 moves of doom and using a within-PG curse word to get a pop. He is cheer-able but you know what to expect.

If things continue this way Dean could be the CM Punk to Reigns' John Cena.

[Kitty Shamrocks]

Keep him where he is. He's going to get more over in that manner. In a way, the Reigns push is the best thing to happen to him; if the commentators were telling us to tweet about Ambrose, he wouldn't seem nearly as cool.

Edit: I should point out Ambrose is currently my favorite thing going in the WWE.

[Push R Truth]

If Ambrose was pushed as the top face I imagine within 3 months the backlash would be epic.

The WWE I think has an interesting situation created by the Cena Backlash over the years. They essentially can have multiple top faces. Some Faces are the manufactured "Cena/Sheamus" that sells crap to kids. The other group of faces are whomever the smarks feel it should be at the top. This is currently why whenever Reigns/Ambrose have a feud it's going to be awesome.

Agreed. Ambrose is and has been one of my favorite wrestlers since I first saw him in FCW, and while I liked him in the Shield, I've been waiting three years to see actual Dean Ambrose/Jon Moxley on the roster. And while his jeans and tank make him look cool, I think he'd look alot better in something else. Not even trunks or tights necessarily, but some sort of unique "costume". I guess it comes from how I equate wrestlers to superheros/villains. But then, jeans and tanktop worked for Luke Cage.

["Gizzark" Mike Wronglevenay]

Ambrose is so brilliant and over right now and gets me so excited as a fan that I really don't want him to ever turn heel.

[Harry The Arrow was Wrong!]

Wait, Bryan shouldn't be a top face because he's short?
