5 Reasons why Dean Ambrose will never be WWE World Heavyweight Champion
Let me first say I am big Dean Ambrose fan. I like his intensity. I like his persona. I like that he reminds me of a 1980s wrestler in a 2016 generation. Unfortunately, his star might beginning to fade a bit and the fame he has enjoyed might be losing a bit of its luster.
Ambrose is a victim of his own character – one that gives you Brian Pillman to the extreme and Terry Funk in a post-championship genre. In today’s WWE, that spells disaster if Ambrose wants to wear the top belt in the company.
Ambrose’s series of matches with Chris Jericho put him over once again with the fans as one of the best at hard core wrestling – but that cannot win a major title or last as a true contender for the company’s top prize. Changing his style, his persona or his appearance may spell disaster for the former Intercontinental and United States Champion. It’s a kind of hell Ambrose is bound to experience.
For now, Ambrose may have reached a temporary limit with his current place on the company ladder. Here are five reasons why he will never be a WWE World Champion.
He’s a Gimmick and nothing more
At the moment. Ambrose has fallen into a category that few can get themselves out of. It’s like being typecast on television or in the movies. After you have been in several “gimmick” style matches, you draw a following for that type of genre. Fans will not be as supportive should be repackaged as someone else or he changes his style of wrestling.
This is the kind of position Mick Foley was in after his harrowing stunts in the ring. Terry Funk or “Chainsaw” Charlie had a resume as an NWA World Champion under his belt, so fans could identify with both personas.
