Plus Based Bray's selling to make it look like that shit actually hurts.

It's lose-lose. Ambrose looks like trash in his jeans and the tank but if you stuck him in trunks he'd look like a skinny mess out there alongside everyone else because he has no definition anywhere on his body.

If he went back to slicking his hair like he did in the Shield, I'd like it more but the fringe is a draw, brother, so it's gonna be shown like a lunatic.

When you can phone it in inside the ring but still end up being the best SHIELD member.

It's almost as if the main roster writers produce the hottest garbage for the wrestlers.

True. Ambrose said once he hasn't liked one promo he's been given in the WWE. And only recently has he been given much creative freedom to talk on whatever he wants and even then it's probably only limited.

Don't know how much I buy that after Ambrose said the reason his match with Brock was shit was because of Brock then proceeded to have a terrible match with Ziggler and couldn't even be carried to a great match by AJ.

I think the Brock case is different. Ambrose didn't want a technical 5 star match for 'Mania, he wanted a good brawl with a mix of weapons. That was what Brock apparently didn't want, likely because of UFC or maybe he was just lazy, leading to them only really using steel chairs and the kendo stick.

You'd think the racist part would top, or fuck, at least make it on its' own section, to the list.

Ambrose might have one of the longest US reigns, but he also has the worst. Ambrose defended his US title run a little over ten times in total during his 351 title reign in televised appearances. Only 3 matches were PPV. Most of these matches ended with a DQ or count-out.

His restaurant rules kind of qualify. No big jewelry or baggy pants allowed (now that I've said this, this was before his sex tape, so maybe this was a sign?). Ironically, as it virtually states, Hogan himself cant even eat at his own place of business, cause he constantly wears a do rag or bandana.

he's not worse than Warrior.

Hogan kept his hate speech to private conversation. warrior toured to speak to young adults with his hate.

First time seeing Sandow in his ring gear in TNA. Not looking so great.

At least they gave Moose a shirt to hide him next to Lashley.

It's just odd to harbor all the grudges against the lunatic fringe gimmick that was made grating by Cole's commentary and the writing back on Raw, when ever since SD started they've clearly toned that down.

Now on commentary, the farthest they go is about how unorthodox & unpredictable he is. His promos regarding the title have been dead serious. Unless that casino hat really gets you hot.

Man idk, I just don't pay attention to the anti-Ambrose comments anymore. You know how wrestling fans are. Some criticism is legit, others are just comments against him because said people dislike him compared to others. For example, I heard dudes on another forum say Ambrose hasn't had a good match in this company since his singles run. You then look at all those Rollins, Owens, HHH and Styles matches and bring them up. Apparently because it's said wrestler against Ambrose they did all the work when, on the other hand, when you say the same about Reigns it turns into "but Reigns carried his side of it" which is funny. You bring up the fact that it was confirmed that because Strowman couldn't work a match with Ambrose, they called off his original push, which proves that they consider Ambrose a great worker, that's null-and-void, it's funny. You bring up the multiple comments from Regal, Hart, HHH, Foley and others about how great he is in the ring and apparently those comments don't matter. All because he's had some down time and some funny moments.

You get what I'm saying.

Basically you gotta take the opinions of wrestling fans and decide if they're legit or not. Not just Ambrose but for all guys from Reigns to Wyatt to Ziggler to everyone. Wrestling fans are similar to music fans. They like an artist until the artist switches their style up or shows a different side of themselves and it's all "bah I liked their old stuff they've fallen off".

people are boosting when they say he's "awful".

he's obviously talented, more talented than most of the roster, only problem is:

1. his in ring style is pretty stale at this point

2. his promos are HEAVILY scripted. some of the lamest, clearly written by terrible WWE writers promos in the company. probably only second to reigns in that aspect.

I think I'd be into him way more right now if they just let him cut promos his own way. but instead, I'm just bored with him as a character. just like the other two shield members.
