He's also short.
Austin and The Rock were hardly fonts of 5 star wrestling in their big money making days. Hell even they pointed that out https://twitter.com/therock/status/619497825047547905
But yeah in the modern game he probably does need a few more moves. And change up that stupid rebound lariat into just a straight up lariat for gods sake,
Then don't have him talk that much. They don't actually have to have the boring 20 minute promos every week.
Ambrose only has like 2 or 3 moves I can name off the top of my head.
-- That rebound off the ropes clothesline
-- His flying elbow
-- His shitty DDT finish

2 more and he'll have enough for a proper WWE main eventer.
It's enough compared to Stone Cold and Rock offense at their peak.
But HBK? Perhaps needs a bit more.
Also I think Ambrose is taller than Cena.
Well he brawls and does some sloppy Thesz Press.
- Running Bulldog
- Chop/Punch flurry
- Standing non shitty non rebound clothesline/lariat thing
He's competing with Roman at this stage!

he's also got that thing on the outside when he gets tossed in the ring, his opponent turns around but he slips back out and clotheslines them.
And where he jumps on you and flails.
I can't imagine wanting to base your main event aspirations of HBK, not as a 'face of the company' type deal at least. 'I want to be the champion only after everyone other than me has jumped ship and i've made best friends with vince. I want to bury any potential money storylines because I don't like the other guy, and I'm still going to be thrown to the back as soon as Vince gets another mastodon like Sid Vicious.'

Do you think he'll have a WM match? I don't.
Guys that have to be on the card, pretty much:
HHH
John Cena
Roman Reigns
Undertaker
Sting
Brock Lesnar
Randy Orton (he's immaterial atm, but WWE will want him on posters, I think)
Bray Wyatt (gotta make $ on that entrance)
Assuming Cena vs. Reigns and Taker vs. Sting, and nobody else fighting each other specifically, that's 6 matches right there.
Do you think we could see Orton vs. Brock? That's a match that's NEVER been done, would probably be awesome, and in WWE's mind, Orton is a big star who would look great on a poster next to Brock. If Brock isn't facing Roman and isn't facing 'Taker and isn't facing Cena (though he might be facing any of them), Orton seems like the next logical choice in terms of somebody who could be relatively credible-looking against him.

almost like Cena
Saw recently a special with him. He explained he doesn't care about entrance, image or whatever. He just cares what happens in the ring.
Which kind of explains alot.

I think he'll be in the Andre Battle Royale, at best. Unless he gets back together with Lana and goes on a glorious face run as a boisterous Russian bear, in which case the sky's the limit.

Alternatively, if they decide NOT to do Taker vs. Sting for the obvious reason of it being a terrible idea in terms of the match, itself, could you see them doing Wyatt vs. Sting? Maybe have Sting come out to do a fake retirement speech, have Bray attack him, have Sting go over at WM then Hall of Fame the next year? If they did that, then they could do Roman vs. Brock II and John Cena vs. Undertaker, which frees up a few more matches down the card.

a main event match for bray wyatt at mania? you're killing me
It's funny that that also describes HHH.

He faced John Cena his first 'Mania and Undertaker his second. They clearly see money in the guy, or at least in selling merchandise based on whatever entrance gimmick they give him for the show. Again, I'm just trying to think from what I can see WWE doing to try and sell 100k tickets.
My fantasy top of the card would be HHH/Zayn, Shield Triple Threat, Brock/Oron, and Undertaker/Balor, but that ain't gonna fuckin' happen brother.
HHH did ok when both Austin and Rock were there.
And REALLY well when they were gone !
HHH is fairly sizeable compared to Shawn Michaels. He would have gotten the title eventually regardless of where Austin and Rock's career went. HHH survived many mastodons bigger than him debuting as well.

I think HHH has overrated himself so much in WWE canon that the resulting backlash against him has actually caused him to be paradoxically underrated. The dude is a great, great heel when he wants to be.

Podemos escribir en español con subtitulos?
do we actually need subtitles? we don't cuz we are ZERO FEAR
He's a fantastic heel when there's a big face character who gets bigger pops than him. When HHH is the top dog we get shit like Evolution
The LU producer Eric said on Austin's podcast that they let Pentagon do his stuff in Spanish subtitled because he's just that damn good. Most of everything else has to be done in two languages.
His conviction in the character comes across so well no matter the language.

Ambrose has:
-Rebound lariat
-Flying elbow
-Dirty deeds
-that thing where he pushes off the opposite turnbuckle, hits a clothesline to the person in the opposite corner, then does a bulldog.
His only real problem is that the rebound lariat is kinda dumb to do EVERY match. Just give him a regular lariat, a submission, and maybe one other move (something that looks like it hits hard, preferably, since the dude's so SAWFT otherwise), and he'd honestly not be much different than anybody else.

This is seemingly becoming more and more obviously a thing.
I wish Ring of Honor the best of luck in their future endeavors.
I've heard HHH described as "An 8/10 sold as a 10/10, and thought of as a 6/10 as a result".
Why would you want Undertaker vs Kane a third time at Wrestlemania?
Especially when it wasn't good the first two times.
He's a solid B+. - Dave Meltzer
