16 Things We Learned From Dean Ambrose On Stone Cold's WWE Network Podcast
12. Almost Giving Up
Austin asks about the time when Ambrose left the business, which he says isn't true and then asks Steve if he's been reading the internet. Stone Cold looks a bit perturbed and says he's been watching and says Ambrose spoke about working at a health club and asks if he remembers that.
He confirms that he did work at a health club but says there was never a time where he wasn't still doing wrestling shows on the weekends. He says that everyone on the indies has that moment where they consider hanging it up.
Steve asks what causes that, the pay, the long miles? Dean replies that it's all that and you start wondering if your hard work is ever going to pay off, especially when you sound out feelers to the big companies and no one seems to be interested in you.
He credits those failures as what helped him take himself to the next level, and jokes that he never had a plan B for his life.
