The way he would steal wins at the end made his losses to cena and eddy way more satisfying. He got the right kind of heat. Those pops were huge for a reason.

And your second point just CONFIRMS ambrose as woat champ cause I KNOW smackdown wasn't getting 1.8s and that was Thursday and TAPED, and when he went to raw he was still a bigger draw than 2016 ambrose.

Clean Dean sold out Joe Louis Arena in July. JBL assuredly wasn't doing that in Summer 2004. Smackdown went from beating raw in ratings, Smackdown six, heyman days to B show status as soon as they made Bradshaw champ. There's a reason Cena chasing JBL isn't half as remembered as Batista chasing HHH at the same time. HHH was the real champ.

For those who disagree....give me one other guy who:
Didn't look or come off like a champ (presence)
All time low ratings (drawing)
Un-memorable matches and fueds
Disrespected on live TV by legend in real life
SKIPPED over by charlotte and Finn Balor to be representative for wwe on media appearances
Not over with kids
Not over with women
Not even over with neckbeards anymore

I mean seriously name me one other champion who had all the above

:mjlol: you always had more Dean Detractors here than folks that liked him.

All those PromethaDean jokes and the like were always fukkery for the sake of fukkery. Most felt like he was neutered from being a drugged out street hooligan and turned into this slapstick Loony Tunes character of a wrestler. Hell, nobody even likes the way he punches or his "Lunatic Lariat" or whatever.

Yes, people cheered when he won the belt, because it was unexpected. A whole lot of fans feel like WWE gives fans exactly what the fans don't want.

But some kind of magical way, it turned into "If you don't want Reigns/Cena as champ, then you obviously must want _________ as champ instead. Now ______ is champ and you STILL unhappy."

Nah. Fans are just tired of predictable, broadcasted booking. So while fans :gladbron: when Dean won, it was the equivalent of fans :gladbron: when he basically stole the belt and kept it.

Hell, dude wasn't over as the US champ.

Dean Ambrose is no Jon Moxley.

Are we taking bad or memorable. Because reigns like Diesel or Yoko or JBL were memorable for being long or awful. Dean was just there

JBL. I can't believe when I found out that Bradshaw won the title. Then proceeded to have a honky tonk man title reign
