10 Things We Learned From WWE Chronicle: Dean Ambrose

2. He Wasn't Pleased With His Character's Direction (Possibly... )

You see, in Osaka, Dean may very well have been alluding to the break up of The Shield, and not him hanging up his boots. It was at this point in the documentary that the lines between reality and storyline are blurred, as the film crew explores Ambrose's 'dissatisfaction' within the group. Except it's not real, making the whole thing a bit of a waste of time.

Still, there are a few ambiguous outbursts from Dean. He mithers over being the "punchline" to everybody's jokes on only his second week back on Raw, and laments being on 'backup bodyguard duty'. Most intriguingly, after WWE loaded all the heat on him the very night of Roman Reigns' emotional leukaemia announcement, Ambrose goes off on a tirade to an empty audience in the desert: "Do you think any of this was my idea? Man, it'd be great to just, you know, ruin everything?"

Given it looked like a pick-up filmed a few weeks later, it's probably best not to read too much into it, but it was an interesting little pivot nonetheless as the doc's legitimacy gradually evaporated.

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.
