From @movieperson8583: Do you think we need another Stone Cold to bring back the excitement? I'm thinking of Dean Ambrose.
WWE needs it, but finding it and making it happen is another story. It's a no brainer for WWE to want another "Stone Cold" Steve Austin. At his peak, he was the biggest draw that they ever hand. The problem is they really don't know how to replicate that or do it at that same level. There are a lot of things that Ambrose does that are Stone Cold-like. He has this persona where he doesn't seem to trust anybody anymore after Seth Rollins turned on him, he goes against authority and he's very unpredictable. They're doing a lot of the things that worked for Stone Cold because they know fans like those characters. The problem is no matter how good Ambrose or anybody else is doing the Stone Cold act, they will always come across as knock offs. It's going to be tough for anybody to be the spark for WWE that Stone Cold was. They have tried with a number of people. When an audience has seen it before, they're not going to react to somebody the same way they did with Austin. It's just unrealistic to expect it to happen that easily.
