10 Wrestling Facts We Didn't Know Last Week (May 15)
8. Dean Ambrose Expressly States Dislike For Social Media
If it was the internet which helped turn Zack Ryder into a genuine attraction for wrestling fans, it's something that another dislikes with a passion. Dean Ambrose has remarked more than once during interviews that his current WWE character is working because it's close to who he is as a person, a maverick who doesn't really put up with much nonsense. It seems that in Dean's mind, the world wide web slots nicely into the nonsense category. Fans had often wondered exactly why Ambrose didn't seem to have much of an online presence, notably being absent from services and platforms like Twitter. Even on the man's Twitter page, it pretty much states that the account was WWE's idea, and it has rarely been used, if at all. Now, following an interview with Michael Cole, more folks than ever know exactly why the account is dormant. When quizzed about the importance of social media, Ambrose lashed out somewhat, expressly stating his dislike for the medium of communication. The star even said social media was "superficial", and it doesn't seem like he's too interested in using it any time soon.
