10 Reasons WWE Fans Need To Realise Dean Ambrose Is Not Main Event Talent

7. Undefined Character

One of the biggest issues currently preventing Ambrose from ever consistently enjoying a run as a WWE main event star is his lack of a defined character. We know he is the Lunatic Fringe, that he is some sort of crazy man, but that is where the persona begins and end.

There has never been any sort of effort from WWE Creative to expand beyond that foundation, to craft a character fans can either sympathise with or dig their teeth into. The result is a caricature of sorts, a one-dimensional nutcase who does things... for reasons no one really understands and takes joy in beating up opponents... just because.

The lack of evolution and development of The Lunatic Fringe persona has left Ambrose in desperate need of that one alteration that will inspire fans to care about him beyond the fact that he is a wild man. As it stands now, he is essentially a garden variety crazy who fans of local independent organizations have seen in town halls for the last 10 years.

Just with a much more lucrative merchandise line.
