10 Wrestlers Who Need A Dean Ambrose Style Makeover

Why: A few months ago, this writer's friend (who isn't much of a wrestling fan these days) innocently asked if Sami Zayn was supposed to be an "annoying taxi driver". That really says it all. The flat cap makes Sami look like he's about to give fans a ride to the building, not work matches inside it.

Suggestion: That cap has got to go before people are trying to tip Zayn for his matches.

In all seriousness, he's one hell of a pro wrestler. Even the aforementioned mate could see that, and he further remarked that Sami was the kind of worker he'd have enjoyed during the Attitude era. As much as that's great to hear, it was tempered slightly by a follow-up comment about his lack of muscle tone.

Having a musclebound frame is arguably less important to WWE success than it ever was, granted. That said, Sami would benefit from tightening his body back up to 2014 levels. There's no excuse here. Dean Ambrose just achieved stellar results with a little time to heal and probably tried a new thing or two in the gym.
