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"
WWE probably doesn't have the highest intention of pushing him to status that some marks in here are thinking. But he will go the DB and Ryder route and be a self made man.
Also true. I am midly hyped and honestly I'm not saying he will be as successful as Austin or Rock, or get pushed like those two did, but it is entirely possible.
No thoughts what so ever. He probably cut his usual promo pre match and they wanted to test how the crowd would react when he gets beaten. Which by textbook definition they are supposed to be satisfied.
Wow that's interesting to say the least. Wonder what the point of that was unless Ambrose went nuts after the loss. Or maybe they had him job to a jobber to see if he would be bitch about it.
Big E Langston also beat Heath Slater, Antonio Cesaro and Hunico at houseshows/dark matches while they were already active members of the roster.
So if he's already beating a former Summerslam Main Eventer, an undefeated guy and the runner up in the battle royal that made Mark Henry start his push... then I wouldn't be concerned about them having him beat somebody who is yet to make a whisper on WWE television. They probably wanted to introduce Langston to the audience and also continue to get live crowds used to Ambrose since he seems to be getting a "word of mouth" build..... kill two birds with one stone throw them in a match together. Lets not over think this. Even though I pretty much did lol.
Iv'e been thinking for a while, aided most probably by Regal's commentary, that Langston is going to be built up as the protogé(sp?) of Henry. Henry hasn't got too long left in him really plus with injuries i think they will use him for a little longer in-ring whilst giving Langston the exposure/rub as his replacement and then become is manager (I can see Henry becomming an Agent or simular... but then again he has kid's so he may want to properly retire)
Thinking about it, Langston has had quite a few dark matches lately so i would assume he is closeish to being brought up. I personally think they are waiting for Henry to recover before debuting Langston so they come together.
Going to get shot for this but just like to point out, with the history of WWE, you can expect him in a few squash matches for a good few months. He is not going to main event and get the WWE title on the day of his debut. WWE care about ratings and sales not whether the iwc love the guy or not.
Getting back to Ambrose now. I think he is Wrestling's Kurt Cobain. No, I don't think he will commit suicide, but his character says a whole lot similar to Cobain. Being homeless at a young age will that do that to you, so this doesn't surprise me at all. He also reminds of a Stone Cold Steve Austin as well because he won't be the "good guy" in terms of what he says, but fans will draw to him, and naturally cheer this man. Punk tried to be anti-establishment like Austin, but I think Ambrose will do much better simply because he is naturally fit for it.
I found this short video on youtube, somebody recorded a bit of Ambrose/Regal 2. If you didn't hear the results and want to wait until it's out to see don't watch this because it shows the end result.
Him not being at either FCW/NXT tapping means they don't plan on using him on that show which has enough episodes to last until the end of July/early August.
If he's going to debut soon it will be on a main show.
i have no idea why you people are on this guy's nuts so badly. what's his gimmick, a school shooter? please, i hope the WWE never puts this nutjob on raw or smackdown. the dude reminds me of one of those weird high school loners that you steer clear from because of how much of a freak he appears to be. he also has no right to feud with foley, who is LEAGUES above him.
WHY do so many people ride dean ambrose's nuts so hard?
although i'm not a fan of daniel bryan, i think he's better for the sport than this freak. his gimmick is absolutely terrible. he reminds me of some school shooter. i know he's trying to go for that "i'm psycho" gimmick, but he comes off as a total tool in the process. not only that, but he has the most retarded entrance i've ever seen. you people are delusional if you think this guy will somehow magically improve the overall product. the only people ambrose appeals to (IMO) are losers and people who are crazy as shit themselves.
