Big Dave Meltz: "Ambrose felt like more of a champion than Seth Rollins and Roman Reigns ever did"

"Ambrose had world champion presence. When a world champion faces a face, he has to make the match work. He has to do this fine line, in which he doesn't want to be fake, and play too much as a heel. Especially, when the champion is a babyface because that would be ridiculous to their character. So, you have to play this subtle heel because the psychology is that you want to see a title change. When you have a babyface challenger if you don't want to see the title change, what is the point of the match? I thought he was so great at not being fake and the things he was saying to Ziggler made sense for his character. He shut down Ziggler when Ziggler tried to portray the both of them as victims of the system, and how he mocked Ziggler for complaining about his situation and glorifying the fact that Ziggler steals the show, but Ambrose wins the matches.

The way he came off, and the way he walked out at the end, was all subtle stuff. He got a few boos at the end, but he obviously wasn't booed out of the building, nor was that the goal. The goal was to get the fans behind Ziggler, and Ambrose did so, by being a little bit of an a$$hole. However, at the same time, he wasn't turning his back or being fake to his babyface character.

His delivery and presence were just so good. He felt like more of a champion than Seth Rollins and Roman Reigns ever did. I can't say more than John Cena ever did, but more than John Cena at that night, so I thought Ambrose was very good."

Meltz tells no lies

I heard the audio for this and Meltzer is being somewhat misquoted. He said Dean feels like more of a champ than Seth does right now and than Roman ever did. I don't think he was referring to Seth's run as champ last year

 

[Ed MOTHERFUCKING G]

It was one of the better segments hes had thus far because he wasnt being goofy or funny...and ziggler was doing THE MOST....it made ambrose seem MORE confident and that makes a good champ.

Seth as a champ though >>>>> easily

 

[Da King]

I loved seths reign but people acting most of this board wasn't saying how bad his reign was and how he whined and was emasculated

 

[jadillac]

I think if Roman wasn't made to say stuff like "tater tots", he be viewed differently.

But dean did step it up last week

If WWE knew how to book Ambrose would be an even bigger star.

I like Seth more than Dean, but Seth looked like a total p*ssy and stooge his entire title run. He may as well have been Jack Swagger or Rey Mysterio.
