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"
Was watching this match, both superstars really understand the concept of the match and doing great, but Regal was pretty damn weird on commentary. Wonder if Dean will retire him.
Because what he said was probably fact. Regal knows he is very close to his end as a wrestler in the WWE and if there is one man that is as sick, as diabolical, as naughty, and as messed in the head as him that can finally put him for good, it's Dean Ambrose. Regal doesn't want to give him the rematch because he knows he's only stalling the inevitable and Ambrose will put him away for good once the rematch is set.
a fucking video game, hahahahahahahahahahahaha holy cow, all this hype and it gets shat on just like that, im fuckin gutted lol oh well, i wonder when ambrose will debut, now im deffo guessin july 23rd
That picture someone posted is definitely Connor O'Brian. Maybe it won't end up being the Ascension, but that picture is still of him. Delude yourselves if you wish, but I'm 100% sure this will have nothing to do with Ambrose.
It may be him in the image but this viral campaign definitely won't be for him or the ascension. It was reported it was for a video game and that makes sense since it was never shown on TV.
The action starts with Dean Ambrose (Jon Moxley) coming out and cutting an amazing promo. He tells the audience they will all feel what it's like to basically hit rock bottom, and how ugly things can get.
Dark Match: Dean Ambrose beat a local talent. Fairly standard opener, with Ambrose acting like the Joker from "Dark Knight" or if Brian Pillman was cast in the role throughout the entire match. Ambrose just has this way about him that makes him insanely entertaining to watch. Ambrose wins in four minutes with the Raven Effect DDT. Someone call this kid up and put him on TV. WWE needs some Moxley.
These are from the detailed smack down spoilers for the dark match! Looks like Dean is now using the evenflow DDT as his finisher ! I think it's fits him like a glove!
Sounds great. I was hoping he would use something a little more flashy than the Knee Trembler/Regal Stretch (not that I want him to abandon those moves).
I enjoyed that "I'm just a sick guy" was a good promo, made him come across as unpredictable. It's just sad that he's coming into the wrong era of WWE tbh, will be a damn shame to see him watered down so much.
Like somebody already pointed out, he's exactly like Heath Ledger's Joker would be from the Dark Knight movie if he was a pro-wrestler. Not the most accomplished in-ring, in fact I'd go as far as saying he's a little sloppy but it adds to his charm. On the mic however and his mannerisms are great, very creepy and highly taken from that Joker character.
What is the difference between the Evenflow/Raven Effect and the regular DDT? Because I've seen both Raven and Roberts use spiked and non-spiked versions.
Sure it's a regular DDT but I always loved how it looked. It should suit him fine if he keeps the Knee Trembler as a secondary finisher ala the Orton Punt.
I'd want him to keep the Regal Stretch but I doubt it, since it's basically the STF that Cena uses.
Yeah, that's all I want. Just some short footage from the Dark Matches of RAW and Smackdown!
I need something to hold me over til the debut.
Ambrose is like crack!
The last time I remember this much hype around someone pre-debut on here was CM Punk and we all know how that turned out. Hopefully Ambrose ends up in a similar boat
Yeah If he ends similar at all to Punk's WWE career them it will be a treat for us! Also I think the last time we had a thread about an Indy name not with WWE that lasted this long, was when Daniel Bryan got fired, and people were talking about it for months on end! Other than that, I don't even think Punker had a thread this long here before he debuted?
Wish I was on here for CM Punk's debut. I was a big fan of his work and would of loved to of seen what everyone else thought about it. Like you though, I hope Ambrose does end up in a similar boat, but one that will move him on to an even bigger ocean liner.
