10 Things We Learned From WWE Chronicle: Dean Ambrose
8. Ambrose Hadn't Taken A Day Off In 6 Years
The reasoning behind Ambrose's ridiculous plan to let his triceps hang by a thread until WWE's Thanksgiving tradition was done and dusted, was that he was apparently booked to jet off to Hawaii for his honeymoon - his first time off in six years. Six years! That's a stunning 2190 days without absence, not accounting for leap years, which takes some doing in a business which punishes your body every single night.
Ambrose, living up to every bit of his gimmick, endured beyond Survivor Series, reckoning a few days relaxing in the Pacific would allow his arm to heal itself. It didn't; he woke up one morning in Hawaii to see his wounded limb had ballooned to twice the size. Apparently, it was only then that Ambrose "knew something was seriously wrong."
