5 Reasons Dean Ambrose Is The Next Stone Cold Steve Austin

1. He Needs The WWE To Recognize They're Sitting On A Gold Mine

The WWE is sitting on a transcendent talent right now, and hopefully they€™re aware of it. The guy can go in the ring, the guy can cut fantastic promos, and the guy engages the WWE Universe like very few these days can. He stood out when The Shield debuted and he€™s standing out now (he€™s arguably more over than Reigns is after the disbanding of The Shield). Dean Ambrose already has a cult following and what the WWE needs to do is start cultivating it. How many guys on the roster get the reviews this guy gets from past superstars? Comparisons to Piper and Pillman and even Stone Cold Steve Austin. Those are three of the most charismatic and memorable names to have ever worked in the business, and Jim Ross among other wrestling aficionados is calling Dean Ambrose a freaky hybrid of all three. As fans we don€™t want to see him end up like Piper and Pillman, and never get a shot to be the man. We want him to have the career trajectory of Stone Cold. Will Ambrose be as good as Stone Cold was? Who knows? What is obvious is that he€™s damn close. He€™s passionate about everything he does, and he has all the tools to be a star on that level. The real question is does the WWE believe in him enough to let him be the guy for a period of time? They should, and it€™s hard to believe that that they don€™t. Dean Ambrose will be a future WWE World Heavyweight Champion. He€™s simply too good not to be. This guy has knocked everything they€™ve thrown at him out of the park. There€™s no doubt that he€™s proven himself worthy of their trust and there€™s absolutely no doubt that if the opportunity presents itself, Dean Ambrose will become one of the biggest names in WWE history.
