"The Day Dean Ambrose Hit a Home Run"
"One day, WWE Wrestling Stable The Shield came to the CBCC. A Wrestlemania bout was scheduled for that evening at the nearby Frank Erwin Center. The three of them were, together, pretty good at engaging the kids, although Seth Rollins was probably the better of the three, followed by Roman Reigns. Dean Ambrose was considerably more quiet than his wrestling partners, and seemed most comfortable remaining quietly in the background.

These three big guys (together they weigh 707 lbs) greeted several kids, including a pair of boys who did not know the Shield was going to be at the CBCC and were both surprised and thrilled to meet them, even though one of the kids was wearing a John Cena t-shirt (they have frequently battled Cena in the ring).

Near the end of their visit they were all talking to a father and his daughter in the waiting room. The subject came up about why the girl was at the CBCC that day (while this might sound like a somewhat inappropriate question, it wasn’t).

“I’m here getting some test results,” she said.

While this is not a terrible omen every time for every patient, it can be. Often, when patients first come to the CBCC for test results it is because they have been referred to the cancer center by their doctor, whose own tests likely suggest that the patient has a cancer or a blood disorder.

Thus, when the girl finished her answer, there was a predictable and difficult silence.

Until, that is, the least expected member of the The Shield stepped up. Dean Ambrose broke the silence with a clever, poignant and thoughtful response–the best I’ve ever heard in that setting. He said,

“You’ll probably find out you have superpowers.”

Ambrose could not have been aware of the CBCC’s major fundraising partner, Superhero Kids, or of their efforts to equate kids with cancer to superheroes because of the enormous challenges they have to overcome to survive childhood cancer. Nonetheless, Ambrose’ response was beautiful; perfectly timed, ideally themed, and with intended results: The young girl’s face eased into a big smile.

Ambrose, who held the WWE United States Championship belt for longer than any other wrestler, has fought some big bouts in his career. Still, it has crossed my mind more than once that maybe, bringing a smile to that girl’s face, on that day, when she needed it most, might count among his most meaningful achievements.

Hopefully The Shield just rush Sheamus, and take a lead pipe to both his knee caps, shave his stupid hair off, powerbomb him through a table on fire from off the side of the stage, then bung him in a limo with a brick on the gas pedal, and send it off a bridge into a river with a strong current, although he would probably Cena sell it

Fuck management marks who refuse to let their hard ons subside for people who the crowd doesn't give a shit about like Sheamus and Del Rio

Oh yeah The Shield are pretty cool by the way

The hate for sheamus is strong with this one :lol . Nah, I actually want to see Ambrose going ham on Sheamus for about 15-20 minutes, then everything bolded can come after.

This past month have made me realize that there is still so much life in the Shield. I was kind of split on the fact that it looked like they were breaking them up. Now, I am very glad they kept them together!

Seth Rollins has the potential to be a mega star, Dean Ambrose is like a modern day Jake Roberts with a different Vibe and Roman Reigns - given time - could be The Rock-big.

But right now, Daniel Bryan, Bray Wyatt and Cesaro are killing it, and in a few months, when Cesaro puts Swagger into obscurity, it will be interesting to see, where they decide to take him.

Daniel Bryan is arguably the most over superstar in the WWE for close to a decade. He's generating CM Punk at MITB 2011-pops EVERY damn week! (or at least a fair amount!

Cesaro is red-hot, and so is Wyatt. Wyatt's supposed to be a twisted heel'esque character and the fans are Fandangoing his freakin' theme song.

Although I WOULD like to see both Dean Ambrose, Seth Rollins, Roman Reigns and the three above-mentioned names main event Summerslam in a six-pack challenge for the WWE World Heavyweight title, I still think, what these guys need right now, is legitimacy. Working with Cena, Batista, Orton, Triple H, Y2J should he decide to return, Sheamus, Big Show, Paul Heyman, Undertaker, Kane, hell, maybe even Brock Lesnar is what is gonne make these guys.

Ring of Honor-level matches every week? I'll take that! But there's a reason ROH can't really compete with WWE. Star power! These six guys have the potential to kill it for the next 10-15 years, but they need real building, and for now, the Shield isn't ready. It is a very organic unit, and I honestly feel that WWE could keep them together for 8-10 years and they would still be relevant. This might change, but imagine the blow-off:

Wrestlemania XXXX - The Shield Implodes! Triple threat match for the WWEWH title! (By then, all three will have had title reigns, but who's to say that the faction can't stay alive until then?)

Don't see the Shield going stale right now. That's really cool!

Just some thoughts from a fan, who's been watching since 1992. (Got a VHS tape of Wrestlemania VIII, dubbed in my native language, Danish and was hooked)

AMBROSE LOST :penaldo :penaldo :penaldo



Battle Royal was nice. :agree:
Fucking assholes eliminated Slater in the commercial break. :cuss:
I LOVED to see Ambrose putting an end to half of the line up... :banderas
So many smart, excellent moves dude!
Also glad they not only showed his mental brilliancy, but also his strengh and power. (Swagger elimination for example.)

And Ladies and Gentleman... After the prolog has ended now.. LET'S OPEN THE FIRST CHAPTER, LET'S OPEN OUR MINDS FOR THE BEAUTY OF INSANITY, LET'S OPEN OUR HEARTS FOR THE LORD OF NASTINESS!!!

Shield/Wyatts - crowd was fucking dead while I was "Holy Shit!"-ing to most moves... what the FUCK.
Fucking Rollins, Jesus Christ...



:trips2



:vince3 Be careful dude!

Rollins isn't bad at all on the mic anymore. Sure, he had a lot of improvement to do when the Shield first debuted. But I think he's improved mightily on the mic since then. Is he a great mic worker? No. Is he as good as Ambrose on the mic? No. But he can certainly handle his own on the mic nowadays. I think he'll continue to improve as time goes on and he gets more and more experience on the mic, as well. The guy is only 27 years old, which is scary to think about.

I finally finished that drawing that will hopefully be a tattoo on a certain tumblr user.

I'm happy enough with it. I hope the user is too.
Wow, you're so talented. I've actually followed this thread since either the fourth or fifth installment and I've always just loved the Shield pics you've drawn and uploaded here. Always a treat to see them, thank you for sharing them here.
Chants ~This is awesome! :D:

Guys I have a really important announcement to make, I will not be coming or posting on WF anymore, I will not delete my account because I know that I will come back here eventually, but as of now, I can't afford to be spending half my life in here anymore. My life is not really pretty right now so I just want to say, thank you guys for putting up with my stupid fangirling posts all the time, and I really came to like you guys even if I didn't knew you personally I feel that it would've been a blast if I did.

STAY AWESOME SHIELD FANDOM.

See ya.

Again, 'cause it was so beautiful:



:banderas



DDDDDDDDDDD: Uh, okay...
:( Let us know if you're ok from time to time!

Think of it as putting money into their pockets. (at least some percentage of it) Then you won't feel so bad. :D:

Have to buy a Shield shirt myself at some point too. Just wish that WWE would get their asses in here too (which isn't going to happen because last time the house was 90% empty) so I'd have a place to rep the shit out of that shirt too. :hmm:
Yeah! :)
Also when I think about it I still haven't bought any of Deans Indy DVDs so yeah... uhum.. Bye. :B

thanks soupbro I will give that a go. - (edit) woohoo it worked - here you go peeps have a giggle







watching raw properly at the moment on the tv (not my small laptop screen) and noticed the shield guys were standing behind Natalia and co for the warrior tribute. thought cool, then started to laugh. Dean, the little shit, once again - not standing still - swaying from side to side throughout the whole thing.
I swear that guy has ADHD or something...

Oh the hate and denial of the potential and likeablity of those two get is amazing :lol

Poor Reigns aint even get a quarter of Del Rio's push and ppl are bitching. Poor Paige won the belt off of their beloved AJ and oh the bellyaching :lol

I can't wait until both of them solidfy themselves at the top and there will still be a small subset of ppl on here complaining about a 'super push' that never really was :ti

And all I gotta say is dirtsheets gonna dirtsheet.

That was pretty cool match even the beginning was basically Orton running out of the ring every 5 seconds. Reigns is pretty good at selling for his opponents though and Orton works better as the cocky viper and both seem more in their element. There were lots of long pauses in it though but it was more for the grandstanding/house show element than any fault of the two men and yes Reigns can do more than 3 moves :fpalm and it to me it was better than the match they had on tv.

Oh man, I try to make a comeback and I only show up when the people that I know aren't here. Alright, I won't be here too for too long though, so I just wanted to share my only thought of what went down yesterday during SD. "Let the anarchy begin."


It was already there, I know.



We share the same though. Roman has been working his ass off to be at the same level of Dean and Seth and has improved a lot, he's not my fave Dean is, but it pains me equally when people hate on Roman just because. So I understand where you're coming from.
