10 Reasons Dean Ambrose Deserves To Be WWE Champion
2. It's All About The Angles
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hJbGVNIzh24 Very few wrestlers have ever used a pro wrestling ring in the same way that Dean Ambrose does. In finding new and different ways to deliver moves and use the ring as a visual object defined by how many different angles one can strike their opponent from, he's made himself one of the most unique performers EVER in the history of the WWE. Yes, it's Nigel McGuinness who "resurrected" the rebound lariat in Ring of Honor. Spinning in a 619-style lucha feint instead of entering the ring when being tossed into it is intriguing, as well as Ambrose's half-dive/half-elbowdrop and his (not striking-involved) British wrestling-inspired grappling skills, too. The way Ambrose presents himself as a wrestler is so vastly different than anything WWE has ever seen that it makes him a compelling watch. Is he compelling enough at using the angles the ring provides (that few others use) to be WWE Champion? Of course.
