What did the E see in Ambrose to give him a shot?

[MenacingMonk]

Real talk. I'm not familiar with his Indy beginnings but I have seen him in the CZW TOD clips. Was dude a mix of hardcore and basic wrestling?

His wrestling abilities are nothing special. It's rare I find someone boring in the ring, but he does the job. Other guys like Corbin or Reigns don't even do that.

His mic skills are passable. Nothing special, nothing great.

I only like(d) him for the aura he has of being a dirtbag

"How does it feel to suck off Dean Ambrose?"

Think Dean's promos were supposed to be his selling point.

He reminded people of Brian Pillman.

 

[Saiyajin]

no clue hes fukkin trash

 

[Osmosis]

he's supposed to be a good mic worker but he's never cut a good promo

The never say die attitude and his unpredictable character/gimmick being different to everyone else on the roster, is what has kept him over.

Put him with a good worker you'll get a 3.5 * and above match. The gimmick matches aren't helping him either, while they cover up his limitations as a worker, apart from the tables match w/ KO everything else has been meh.

They trying to make him a hybrid Austin/Foley, but reality is he isn't close to being even a lite version of either.

His fall off from the Shield is remarkable. He's behind in and out of the ring by a considerable distance.

No idea. People said it was because he was taller than most on the indies and was a good talker, but his promos were garbage Pillman-lite/blatant Heath Ledger Joker rip offs, and his wrestling has always been trash.

His fall off from the Shield is remarkable. He's behind in and out of the ring by a considerable distance.

This is true, Roman kills him in the ring, and Seth makes him look like Eva Marie out there.

Time for another TSC heel turn. This one's gotten old.

 

[InstantKlassik]

Remember dudes were talking like he was the second coming I have yet to see it. He's not in Pillman's or Pipers league. He's so far off from them it's laughable now.

 

[Mr. Negative]

PG Face Jon Moxley doesn't work.

Hell, his feud with Regal in NXT alone far overshadows his WWE work.

Time for another TSC heel turn. This one's gotten old.

Not really. Were most people here really huge fans of him? Most of us have acknowledged how both of the other Shield members have improved except for Ambrose.

Niccas hating yup

I enjoyed him the most in the Shield and right after the Shield breakup when he wasn't so "wacky". His character can still be unhinged but not so crazy with the facial expressions. I'd also have him study punches of Bret, Savage, Jake, Funk, etc. The Ralphie punches just aren't getting it
