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"
When I start to lose my faith in the current wrestling biz (like after seeing what WWE did to Dragon at Wrestlemania, for instance), I like to tour of youtube and watch all of Moxley/Ambrose's promos again.
In many ways, this little gem here from FCW is my favourite of the lot:
None of the fireworks, emotional roller-coaster rides or storytelling of his more famous promos, but what Ambrose does here is take a card-filler match with some random worker who he even admits he doesn't even know, and sells it in one minute flat. With zero story and nothing to work with Ambrose makes you care about the match, all while telling us something about his character. There are WWE Champions who can do less with a multi-month long feud between two established superstars than Ambrose does here.
Foley's heights as a promo-cutter are far, far beyond anything we've seen from Ambrose yet but the guy is making up the ground scarily fast. And the thing about Ambrose, is he just keeps improving, keeps innovating and learning how to use his abilities better.
EDIT: While we are linking to youtube, here is an example of what the pinnacle of Promo-cutting is like. Cactus Jack at his finest: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=I-lJTvgaZME
Re: Dean Ambrose confronts Mick Foley at WrestleMania Hotel
Ambrose and Mick Foley would put one heck of a street fight. Ambrose is soon to debut since they are debuting many guys right now. I say he is RAW bound IMO.

Re: Dean Ambrose confronts Mick Foley at WrestleMania Hotel
I see Damien Sandow debuted on Smackdown last night, Ryback re-debuted too, We all know Brock and Tensai re-debuted on Monday too, it can't be too long before we see Dean Ambrose, surely!?
Re: Dean Ambrose confronts Mick Foley at WrestleMania Hotel
Can someone post some of this guy's work? I've heard his promos which are really good, but only seen one match and felt his in-ring work was average, but everyone on here seems high on him so I really can't judge until I've seen some more matches. PM me with links if you can.

Re: Dean Ambrose confronts Mick Foley at WrestleMania Hotel
they are really high on him according to reports from yesterday smackdown taping he was praised a lot after his match with Ezekiel jackson and his pre match promo and he is being set for a big debut and big first feud
Re: Dean Ambrose confronts Mick Foley at WrestleMania Hotel
Ambrose needs to be on the A show. I think a feud with Foley would be absolutely amazing but I wouldn't be opposed to Ambrose trying this stunt on a few more superstars from the attitude era.
I definitely want him to debut in a unique way as opposed to just coming out and cutting a promo. Would love him to jump someone backstage or from the crowd.
Re: Dean Ambrose confronts Mick Foley at WrestleMania Hotel
Having watched that match with Regal I can see the hype, he's talented and totally unlike the normal WWE guy. You can see why Regal would have wanted to work that match with him, they both do in-ring psychology and the intricacies of telling the story of the match very well. Thanks for the posts guys. I'm officially a fan of Dean Ambrose.
Re: Dean Ambrose confronts Mick Foley at WrestleMania Hotel
It'd be unbelievable. With the sort of shit Ambrose pulls, like getting in superstars faces, stares them down without looking scared (definitely an uncanny resemblance in Pillman), he'd draw heat like no tomorrow.
Ahhh, I'm just getting too excited of the prospect of seeing Ambrose in a WWE ring, controlling that microphone and having the crowd in the palm of his hand.
Re: Dean Ambrose confronts Mick Foley at WrestleMania Hotel
Don't understand ppl questioning his ring work. It's more than average! All about Ambrose's character. He's an absolute nut job. Brilliant to watch. If he keeps his current gimmick he'll be excellent and over in the first week.
Re: Dean Ambrose confronts Mick Foley at WrestleMania Hotel
Oh god yes. Blaming Foley for a generation of garbage wrestlers (which Ambrose was) is just the greatest thing. I can see it now:
It will be an unkempt young man in a wheel chair. Ambrose will tell Foley that this kid paralyzed himself jumping off the roof of his house, emulating Dude Love. Mick will look at the kid and see for himself. The sullen "half-there" gaze, the total muscular atrophy brought on by his inability to move. He can't even move enough to shave or cut his hair. As Foley drops to his broken knees, he weeps and apologizes to this boy and asks his name so that he can do everything in his power to help him. The young man looks up at Foley, desperately trying to comprehend what his hero is telling him. A small smile starts to crack on his face, and he slowly begins to laugh. "My name?" he whispers. "YOU want to know MY name? Mick...my name is..." the kid stirs in his chair, catching Foley by surprise, but he cannot react fast enough to avoid the elbow as the young man pounces out of the chair. "My name, you son of a bitch...is DEAN AMBROSE.

Epic as Fuck!! It's crazy how creative Ambrose is! He can develop storylines out of ANYTHING and with ANYONE!
