Sohh... What exactly does Ambrose do better than Shane?

[Osmosis]

Other than act like an idiot? Both men were involved in shytty matches tonight and to be fair a lot more time and energy was invested in Shane's match but after watching Shane's first performance in nearly a decade I've come to the realization that he plays a better Dean Ambrose than Dean Ambrose.

Shane's pop up DDT, judo kicks and submissions (other than the sharpshooter which wasn't all that sharp) were crisper and more believable offense than anything in Dean's arsenal. Even Shane's punches rival Dean's in terms of believability, and Shane's punches have become a meme for how fake they look.

The obvious kicker is the fact that Dean is the one that is billed as the "lunatic" and yet in one night shane took more death-defying bumps than Dean has in his WWE career. Shane's character is much more natural, he doesn't need to go out there and fidget like a wannabe heath ledger.. He proves that he's insane when he gets in the ring and risks his health. I don't think I've seen Dean do one thing in the ring that would justify him being labeled the "lunatic fringe" In fact, Rollins took all the crazy bumps when the shield were together.


Anyways, what does it say when the 46 year old non wrestler plays the role better than the 30 year old accomplished indy wrestler?

Eh, Ambrose did great work in FCW as a heel. That's all I have to be honest, didn't like him much in the indys

 

[I-Hate-You]

I don't like that I'm not recognized and tagged as one of the primary TSC Dean haters.

For the record, fukk that hack.

Like I've said before, Ambrose can only wrestle one match, and it's not a very good match. Guys like Rollins are able to carry him past that, but it truly takes someone of great talent to get that out of Ambrose. Brock Lesnar wrestles the same match these days because smarks like to count those suplexes. They tried to copy the Punk/Lesnar SummerSlam match, but the only problem is that Ambrose isn't nearly as talented as Punk to push Brock to care about the match.

But to be fair, Shane McMahon hardly wrestles so he can go out and do all that crazy shyt with no remorse. He doesn't have to be on the road 300+ days wrestling

you know, I knew someone was gonna make that argument but Jeff Hardy before him was in the same boat and still has his fair share of iconic daredevil perfomances

And Rollins was doing shyt like this:

What exactly does Dean do that proves he lives up to his lunatic moniker?

 

[TheWhackMamba]

Lives under a bridge and smokes crack?

 

[Lord Scion]

I soured on Ambrose after that program he had with Bray Wyatt.

They were literally having the same no DQ match every time.

"Omg, an elbow drop with a chair!"

I don't disagree. I think Ambrose's "lunatic" gimmick stems more from his promos & antics than his matches.

 

[Here Comes the Pain]

Shane o Mac delivered as always. They did what I had doubts which was taking it to the next level with that dive off the cell. Best match of the night. Shane with another dope match.

Brock vs Ambrose was very underwhelming. The physicality was so tame and dean was basically dominated a good 70% of the time. I predicted that that match would steal the show, but I was severely wrong. Highly disappointed.

 

[THEREALBRAND]

All I'm going to say is Roman's match at Mania with Brock was a solid 3.5-4 level match.

Dean's match was a 2.5 at best, with an added No Holds Barred stipulation. If the fans weren't so busy hating Reigns they would have turned on Dean a long time ago. He's horrible in every facet of the game, no redeeming qualities whatsoever.

Yup, same dudes shytting on Roman's match with HHH have nothing to say about Ambrose's boring match with Lesnar. Things like that make it hard to take them seriously

Ambrose is the worst guy on the roster. He is terrible in the ring and his ridiculously cartoonish faces make him look retarded. Lesnar should have finished him in 5 minutes.
