The following video has leaked online, although as to what the purpose is, I can't yet tell you. It features Mick Foley being confronted for what "his generation" did to the wrestling business by WWE developmental talent Dean Ambrose, who had a dark match last night at the Raw taping
A bit of an odd one. Is this legit beef Ambrose has with Foley or worked? If it's the latter then can we read into it that Ambrose will be moving up to the main roster pretty sharpish? Seems a bit too random.
Could Ambrose get onto the main roster and straight into a feud with Foley?
(ps, apologies if thread has already been created, I can't see any threads in the General WWE section due to forum problems)
EDIT: Here is a great recap of the feud so far for those that don't want to read through 20+ pages of us all marking out like little kids. Credit to Beatles123 for this:
It started with that vid. Since then, he's been trying to make Foley be exposed as the cause of, as he puts it, "A lost generation" trying to emulate Foley and getting hurt, as well as Dean himself. He had been through countless deathmatches in CZW and injured his body, as well as seeing his friends not survive because of it.
He has posted vids of people injuring themselves doing backyard wrestling and such, as well as posting pica of his scarred body and making it known that he was being told by WWE to go home when he was arriving to debut because of Foley. He feels he's holding him down like HE'S a criminal when Foley is the same thing.
Foley does not want any part of it because Ambrose would not show him respect and not mention his children. in addition to Regal telling Mick to be careful due to his psychological mindgames, Ambrose counters by saying he never did mention them, but Foley IS blinding them to reality. Foley says he can't get into this like Cactus Jack did in 1995 with his "Cane Dewy" promo. not at his age and not with someone he feels can seriously take liberties in the ring. Ambrose mournes the loss of Foley's "Testicular Fortitude" and calls him, in terms he can understand, "The cowardly lion of WWE"
Even AJ Styles had matches in Velocity. I wonder what would have happened to Styles if he had stayed in WWE.
Ambrose lost to Xavier Woods in a dark match at the NXT Tapings. I found that odd considering that he has been beating the likes of Ezekiel Jackson and Zach Ryder before Raw.
I hope that Dean Ambrose is going to be a big deal when he eventually arrives. I've been keeping half an eye on him for a while now and I've been really impressed. The guy has real potential.
Now THIS is a really kick ass theme for Ambrose that totally fits his deranged and psychotic character. Imagine hearing this s he's coming down the ramp. Immediately puts the "boys" on notice and extablishes Ambrose as a threat to the locker room.
But of course, it won't happen...
P.S. From the the movie Once upon a Time in the West, BTW.
Judging by the fact he was taped for one of the next NXT (FCW 2.0) shows, which in my guess will be up on international TV and mainstream WWE internet sites, I reckon they'll be debuting him before then. I don't know when that show is due to go out, but I do reckon he'll be on the roster in no less then a month, especially seeing as he's been doing both raw and smackdown dark matches every week for a couple of weeks now.
The guy's talented, but I don't want to see him come to RAW or SmackDown right away just to be used as another squash machine like Brodus, Tensai, Ryback, and Claudio.
Different between Ambrose and those guys is that he's not physically intimidating. His power comes from his ability to command a crowd by his God given promo talents. He will make everyone hate him because he has an ability that few possess in his mic abilities.
Here's a link to a pic of Ambrose at last night's NXT Tapings. Hope it works (I'm a longtime wrestling fan but new to the forums, so I'm a little worried).
Anyways, If you read the NXT spoilers, you see that most of the FCW roster was brought up. Several stars such as Seth Rollins, Kassuis Ohno, The Ascension, Bo Dallas (Rotundo), Leo Kurger, Richie Steamboat and more made their debuts. However, in 4 hours of tapings, Ambrose only competed in an untaped dark match.
So it seems while most of FCW is moving onto NXT, it looks like Ambrose will be skipping NXT and making his way onto either Raw or Smackdown. I guess that shows that he is the number one prospect in WWE right now.
One final statement: I don't know when Ambrose will debut. I don't know how he will debut. I don't know if he is behind these "Revolution" videos. But I will make one bold prediction: Ambrose will make his debut on July 23rd, the 1000th episode of Raw.
Man, but are they really gonna debut him as "Dean Ambrose"? That's weak. Seth Rollins, Antonio Cesaro, Cassius Ohno. All those names have grown on me, but for whatever reason, Dean Ambrose really hasn't.
Yeah, "Dean Ambrose" is worse than "Kassius Ohno", totally. LOL. That name reeks of shit. Hero should've just signed off the rights to Chris Hero to them, because let's be honest, that's the only place where your name matters. If he fails in the WWE and has to go back to the Indies, with his previous reputation, he's not gonna fail to get ahead there because his name isn't Chris Hero.
Not even. 'Jon Moxley' is badasser for two reasons.
1) He spells "John" a different way. Let's state the blatantly obvious. "Jon" is better then "John", and it looks cooler.
2) He has an "X" in his name. No way anyone can top a name that has an "X" in it.
:cool2
Yeah, I'm definitely taking this name thing a bit too hard. I mean "Steve Austin" sounds generic as hell at first glance, but I guess if that worked out, and Daniel Bryan and Dolph Ziggler are working out, then Dean Ambrose will too.
