5 things we learned from Dean Ambrose's WWE Chronicle special
One of the best things about Dean Ambrose's WWE Chronicle special is that it provides more context for Dean's peculiar on-screen character in a way we have never seen it done before.
WWE Chronicle: Dean Ambrose blends kayfabe & reality by using elements from both events to complement the other as Dean's personality unfolds right in front of us.
It covers the events from Dean's recovery from an injury, right up to his shocking heel turn this year. Lets take a look at the top 5 things we learned from WWE Chronicle: Dean Ambrose.
#5 Ambrose hints towards the "end of something" in several moments of realisation
Throughout the whole documentary, Ambrose realises that his body is giving up on him. He also mentions his love for The Shield, but at the same time, Ambrose keeps contradicting his own thoughts as the documentary proceeds even further.
This brings out the ambiguous quality embedded in his 'Lunatic Fringe' persona. Ambrose keeps hinting towards the end of "something", whether it be his career or his time with The Shield.
The reason why this chronicle of events works so well is that it loops in Ambrose's real-life frustrations and frames them as one of the main reasons behind why he finally snaps at the end.
But as far as the end of "something" is concerned, below is an example highlighting why Dean Ambrose keeps conflicting himself from time-to-time:
Backstage in Japan:
“I love these guys. They’re my brothers… No matter what happens between us, we’re family, and that’s what makes it so powerful. But we’re just… I don’t know. But I’m just going to try and relax and enjoy this last trip around the world… because I got the feeling that this could very well be the last time.”
The above quote speaks in volumes. Dean talks about his love for The Shield and immediately goes into a state of doubting himself over two things: The first being that maybe his in-ring career is going to end sooner than what most people think, so he tries to enjoy the moment he is living in.
The second thing is that he highlights lingering doubts in the 'character' Dean Ambrose's mind about The Shield.
So we never know what Ambrose is hinting at exactly. Maybe it's a bit of both, but we never know for sure...
