16 Things We Learned From Dean Ambrose On Stone Cold's WWE Network Podcast

Steve wants to know if Dean is happy with his position in the company, and he says he is in a sense but now he feels like it's time to get to work.

He's finally in a spot where he has a little more creative freedom and looks at himself as sort of the captain of the blue brand, and he's ready to really sit down and start to build a legacy.

He wants to put together a championship run and build a body of work as WWE champion. Stone Cold says he's been watching Ambrose since he came into WWE, and presents him with the challenge to raise the bar, push the envelope, go out on a limb and take more chances.

He wants him to amplify everything he's got because he thinks he's gotten a little safe and rested on his laurels. He wants to know what Dean thinks about that, and he replies that he's offended by the statement, and Austin asserts that he wants the best out of him, telling him to give it to the people because he's worked his whole life for it.

Dean admits he tries constantly to push the envelope as much as he can but sometimes "at the end of the day you can yell and scream as much as you want but you're still playing in another brother's sandbox.'

Dean is a little taken aback but states that Austin has reminded him that getting on top is one thing but staying there is another. He likes that motivation, and says he hopes this interview doesn't end with a stunner, and the two laugh as the show goes off the air.

This podcast had a weird vibe to it, especially in the early stages. Ambrose seems like a pretty personal guy and wasn't the least bit interested in opening up about his family life in the early moments, and as the show progressed it felt like there was an odd tension in the air. It's definitely worth checking out, as Dean is a captivating personality even when he's rambling on incoherently and this is a perfect example of the same kind of inexplainable charisma that helped make him one of the most popular stars in WWE.
