5 Ups And 3 Downs From Last Night's WWE SmackDown (March 31)

3. That Dean Ambrose Dropkick Looked Awesome

Dean Ambrose vs. Erick Rowan wasn't the madcap rush it perhaps needed to be, but that doesn't mean there weren't some gem-like moments hidden beneath the mire. Too many restholds and a meandering pace didn't help the story being told, but Ambrose in particular thankfully punctuated the bout with some excitement. For a big man, Rowan moves with some real grace at times. Never was this more evident than when he was pushed against the ropes by his opponent and then nailed with a beautiful looking dropkick. Instead of simply soaking up the punishment and crumpling to the mat, Rowan sailed over the top rope without hesitation and landed on the arena floor. This opened him up to another of the scrap's best spots. In the past, the Suicide Dive has proved a popular part of Dean's arsenal. The move relies on his foe taking it properly, and Erick Rowan certainly did. Recoiling backwards into the safety barrier, it looked like he was absolutely creamed by Ambrose. If only the match had featured more moments such as these, things would have been infinitely more entertaining.
