Well, Dean Ambrose vs. Brock Lesnar at WrestleMania wasn’t all that great, but due to the fact that The Lunatic Fringe holds the WWE Title, another go-around seems logical. While WWE surprisingly pulled the trigger on an Ambrose title run, what they didn’t do very well was establish him as an in-ring threat first. At Mania, he was pretty much destroyed by Brock, and almost always comes up short in big matches.

What could give him some immense credibility is if he defeated Lesnar in a match. That would immediately establish that the company is ready to push him as a top guy, and not just someone who is holding the gold until Roman gets out of the doghouse.

Dean has to prove that he’s worthy of the title, and he has to prove he can have great matches with a variety of opponents. A solid showing with Lesnar would help with those goals, and potentially be a goodwill offering to the fans who appear to be jaded with the product right now.

As Rust Cohle from True Detective said "Life's barely long enough to get good at one thing. So be careful what you're good at." Sadly, I can't solve a murder like Rust...or change a tire, or even tie a tie. But I do know all the lyrics to Hulk Hogan's "Real American" theme song and can easily name every Natural Born Thriller from the dying days of WCW.
