5 Reasons Dean Ambrose Is The Next Stone Cold Steve Austin
5. Dean Is Wildly Charismatic
The list of people in the WWE that are more charismatic than Dean Ambrose is a very short one. Paul Heyman might be the only guy employed by WWE right now that cuts more comfortable, fluid and engaging promos than Ambrose. Thats incredible company to find yourself in as a young WWE superstar. The guy is unflappable as a performer. He never looks nervous, never stumbles over what he is supposed to say or do, and always comes across as genuine in his words and actions. It is this supreme confidence and authenticity that fuels his unyielding charisma, much like it fueled Stone Cold Steve Austin before him. It is also that confidence and authenticity in everything that he does that draws the WWE Universe into his performances. We feel his anger, we are in awe of his fearlessness, we hang on every word he says and the way he says them. Hes cool, in the exact same way that Stone Cold Steve Austin was during the Attitude Era. The fact that he doesnt care what people think of him or how much the odds are stacked against him in any given situation, exemplifies a confidence (and almost arrogance) that is admirable to the viewing public at large. Take for instance the Monday Night Raw where Ambrose was attacked by Rollins, Orton and Kane. After taking a beating he looked at his three attackers and asked them if that was all they had, knowing that it would only prolong the onslaught; but without fear he taunted the men who beat the hell out of him, because he could and because he knew they couldnt break him. Fans connect with Dean Ambrose because of moments like that. Moments that make us want to be like him and moments we will remember. His charisma is undeniable, much like Stone Colds.
