After undergoing a punishing workout session, Ambrose, totally drenched head to toe in sweat, takes solace on the trunk of a nearby 4x4. Whilst giving his vehicle some affection, he reveals the reason he's pushing himself to such a state so soon after recovering from a life threatening injury:

"The first ever wrestling coach I had in sixth grade said, 'Don't pace yourself. Just go until you fall over, and we'll pick you back up.'"

Apparently the advice, despite being utterly dreadful, has stuck with Dean his entire life, and he's now never satisfied unless he goes "20-30 minutes", leaving everything he has to give in the ring. Which rather explains that arduous ladder match at Money in the Bank 2015.

Benjamin was born in 1987, and is still not dead. He variously enjoys classical music, old-school adventure games (they're not dead), and walks on the beach (albeit short - asthma, you know). He's currently trying to compile a comprehensive history of video game music, yet denies accusations that he purposefully targets niche audiences. He's often wrong about these things.
