10 Things We Learned From WWE Chronicle: Dean Ambrose

10. Dean Is A Better Actor 'Without' A Script

The documentary begins with a bleak shot of an agitated Ambrose going through the motions in a gym. He mugs for the camera, letting the crew know he isn't going to perform to their script - what they see is what they'll get. He's not "trying to be an a**hole," though he sure is managing it.

Here's the thing: this whole cold-open is so very obviously put on- but it works pretty effectively. Ambrose - and you suspect this applies to most of his colleagues - is infinitely more believable when his character is allowed to act somewhat organically, free from the shackles of WWE's dreadful writing team. It's a common theme of these introspective features.
