16 Things We Learned From Dean Ambrose On Stone Cold's WWE Network Podcast
15. How Did He Do In School?
Austin advances through Ambrose's life and wants to know what kind of student he was. In his elementary years he was an excellent student and school came very easily to him.
Once he got into middle school and began developing independent thoughts and questioning things, he stopped putting in as much effort, and once high school rolled around he stopped trying and caring altogether.
Steve asks if it was about work ethic, and Dean says it wasn't so much that but just that he was always questioning the need to learn things, thinking that he was smarter than everyone else. BY the time he was in his mid-teens he was already starting to explore the word of professional wrestling so he ended up dropping out.
Dean admits that he was "caught up doing some things he probably shouldn't talk about" in high school which contributed to his struggles with attendance, and Austin again asks if his childhood was "a little discombobulated compared to the norm" which he once again refutes.
Steve seems to be intent on painting Ambrose as some troubled teen from a broken home. I'm not sure if it's a kayfabe character thing or what but Dean really isn't biting here.
