That promo was every reason why Dean Ambrose will always be one of my favorite guys in WWE, especially of the last 15 years or so.

By all accounts he's happily married now and has enough money that he's realized he can just step down now on his own terms because WWE, while they appreciated him, also considered him the least of the three Shield guys and probably weren't ever going to make him their top guy (he had a great run at the top on Smackdown at least) so he'd just end up frustrated if he stuck around. It seems like he handled his exit about as professionally and amicably as it is possible to do so, which is partly why WWE made such a point of not burying him on his way out.

RIP Dean Ambrose. I hope you go back to living a life where you choke women while you threaten them with forks. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zNGOY-jeYwI I will actually miss the dude and he seemed to know how to channel his traumatic upbringing into a wrestling character that resonated with a lot of people. It's a shame WWE were never comfortable with letting him be more creatively flexible but it's pretty obvious even going back to the aborted Mick Foley feud that his vision of what wrestling should be never fit with their corporate mentality and I think he did his best within that system to stay true to the role he envisioned for himself. I hope he takes some bookings as Jon Moxley and is able to work some angles and matches he's wanted to pursue, because while I never thought he should be the focal point of a promotion he was always way better at the character aspect of wrestling than WWE ever let him portray on TV.

I'm sure Jon (gonna call him that because he's officially not Dean Ambrose anymore) will be good as heck anywhere he goes and I'm honestly glad he's going away from WWE for a while because it seems best for him but I'm not gonna lie I'm selfishly gonna miss seeing him on live national TV every week.

However this plays out, the biggest winner in this whole situation is Dean. His contract expired at the right time as competition is bubbling up, forcing WWE to play nice and not burn bridges with one of their biggest stars (and in turn keeping Renee happy, which they're absolutely invested in doing). He gets to look like a class act honoring his commitments to the literal final day, creating tons of fan goodwill and genuine intrigue as to what he does next. Now the ball is in his court and he has all the leverage, whether it's waltzing into another company or just taking time off and building up anticipation for his return, which will be a massive payday either way. Basically Jonathan Good played his hand perfectly, and I gotta salute him for that.

Mr. Carlisle posted:My favorite Ambrose moment was him coming back with a haircut and skinny jeans and people freaking out about his new look like the scraggly wet thinning longer hair was a good idea to begin with i actually really liked dean's semi-poofy wet dog hair. well, while it was still holding on. the haircut was necessary. i always liked dean, sloppy offense and all, he was one of the characters that really hooked into me when i started watching wwe again a few years back. you know how you should never let vince see you dance, or youll become the dancing guy? dean shouldve never let vince know he was funny, even though the best dean promos always had some good one-liners interspersed among the serious stuff. hope to see him in a ring again someday, hopefully wwe hasnt totally beaten the love for performing outta him.

And for the record, I stand with Foochs, even if it doesn't seem that way. Dean was my guy, I rode and died with him during the original Shield run, and his first promo after Seth turned made me think he was on the way to something huge. Then, yadda yadda, something something exploding TV, he didn't seem cool anymore, and it made his flaws stand out more in my mind. Since then I've mostly goofed on Dean, not because I thought he was suddenly bad (though there was a definitely a time where the injuries/road schedule caught up with him and you're lying if you missed his dropoff in quality), but more because I was frustrated at the lost potential. That "next Stone Cold" talk didn't come from nowhere, there was definitely a moment where it felt like Dean was the next big thing. But it never happened, he got burned out, and here we are. I still hope he can rediscover that fire somewhere else, but I also won't blame him for just taking a long break.

Dean was probably the single biggest roller coaster I've ridden as a wrestling fan. His highs in the wake of the Shield Breakup and the crushing low of his feud with Bray, followed by the long, painful reconstruction of his credibility leading up to Mania 32, and the even more crushing low of his squash at Brock's hands, followed by the sudden surge to what was probably the peak of his WWE Career: Money In The Bank 2016 (which is now one of my all time favorite Pay Per Views), his run as Champion of Smackdown after the Brand Split, and his brilliant long-form Main Event feud with AJ and Elsworth. Then came Superstar Shakeup 2017, his transfer to Raw, and the long, painful road to the end that was The Shield's cursed reunion and his heel turn. But the memory I'm going to take away is his final weeks. Starting from the moment where he walked through the curtain after taking a massive beating, and asked in a joshing, friendly tone just where the heck Seth and Roman were while he was getting slapped around, Seth asked him what the hell he was talking about after they'd been in a blood feud for months, and Dean just shrugged. And from that moment on they were friends again, as if nothing had happened. Dean just decided not to be evil anymore, and his friends just sighed and accepted it because that's the kind of character Dean Ambrose is. Unstable. Anarchic. But sharing a bond with those two men that not even he himself could break. When Drew McIntyre kicked Roman in the head, and Dean DEMANDED that Triple H give him a match with him, No Holds Barred, Falls Count Anywhere, it gave me chills. And when Drew put his head through that banister and hit the Claymore against the steel, my heart wrenched. My only regret is that that moment was not his last on on-camera in WWE, because it would have been the perfect note for him to go out on: full of righteous fury, fighting for a brother, looking give a bastard what he has coming, and doing it (and going out) on his own terms.

Sanguinia posted:I would be lying if I said that post was not, to some extent, for an audience of one Foochs buddy. Thanks friend. I don't remember who it was who said I needed to figure out if I was a fan of Dean Ambrose, or Jon Good when all this first came out. I answered both, and to that poster's credit they took that in stride and said that was entirely fair. If Jon does go to AEW, I'll be legitimately excited and it'll go a long way in stoking my interest, ESPECIALLY if the rumors of a Tuesday night show on national cable are true. gently caress yeah, more wrestling! gently caress yeah, Jon Moxley (or whatever name he may choose to go by)! But I really, really hope this isn't the end of Dean Ambrose, either. That character, which is an extension of Jon, really got me through some poo poo, and continues to be a bit of an inspiration for me (see especially the promo tonight; I feel like that was largely out of character but also entirely IN character for Dean Ambrose, and that's part of what made it so great). Did anyone else watch the Cole interview with The Shield? It was extremely interesting at the very end. Cole gets ready to ask Dean what the future holds for him, and he doesn't answer, while seemingly in character taking a direct shot at Vince and storming off. If I didn't know better I'd think it was like a Punk 2011 thing where Dean was gonna return to WWE after some time off (only this time he'd be off TV more than a week) as a sort of anti-authority tweener-face. It was just very clearly different in tone from the rest of the interview, very clearly in character, and very intriguing. So good on WWE whether it's a harbinger of something or not. If Dean has already agreed to return to WWE after an extended time off though, it'd explain a lot about the way they let him go out (for now?).
