WWE News: Reddit user calculates that Dean Ambrose traveled over 190k miles in the past year
What’s the story?
Reddit is full of great pro wrestling fans that put in a lot of to provide interesting details. For instance, user “Chiliad3” put in the work to take a look at Dean Ambrose’s entire WWE schedule over the past year. He calculated the total distance that the Lunatic Fringe drove or flew during that schedule and came up with a total of 190,869 miles.
In case you didn’t know...
The workhorse mentality of Ambrose comes from his early days in professional wrestling. He learned his craft at Les Thatcher’s pro wrestling academy. Thatcher wouldn’t allow him to train until he turned 18; however, once he was able to, Ambrose never stopped wrestling.
The heart of the matter
It is not surprising that Ambrose has travelled so many miles. Give Me Sport reported that he had more matches than anyone on the WWE roster in 2016. The Lunatic Fringe has been a workhorse for the company and (knock on wood) has been able to stay away from major injury along the way.

According to ProFightDB.com, Ambrose wrestled 187 matches in 2016.
What’s next?
WrestleMania is just around the corner, and it is no surprise that Ambrose has a role on the show. He will be defending his WWE Intercontinental Championship against Baron Corbin in what has been a great feud.
Author’s Take
The passion that Ambrose has for pro wrestling is one of the reasons why he is my favourite WWE Superstar today. Any fan of the sport knows that the wrestlers are constantly on the road, but it is still astounding to see how many miles they travel over the course of a year.
