4. Dean Does Stand Up

€œYou€™re not funny!€ *clap clap clap clap clap* €œYou€™re not funny!€ *clap clap clap clap clap*. Well, at least that€™s what I wish the crowds would chant at Dean Ambrose. Why is it that Roman Reigns gets so much hatred from the fans when his former Shield brethren is often just as lame?

On Raw, Ambrose gave us another edition of The Ambrose Asylum, along with his nice hand-written poster featuring the anarchist symbol...ooooo so very high school of you Dean! He came out, and delivered a joke that even Jay Leno would have rejected:

€œDid you see this? There was a giant river monster swimming behind the O2 arena. I didn't know Braun Strowman could swim."

Huh. This is essentially the No. 2 babyface in the United States making a river monster joke.

Now, over in TNA there€™s Bram. That dude seems crazy. Bray Wyatt seems pretty crazy too, as did Jake Roberts, Bruiser Brody, etc. etc. but Dean Ambrose? If the wrestler themselves, and the announcers have to constantly tell us how crazy they are, it doesn€™t come across as crazy, it comes across as manufactured. He needs to pick up his humor game a bit, as he€™s currently in John Cena 2007 territory.

As Rust Cohle from True Detective said "Life's barely long enough to get good at one thing. So be careful what you're good at." Sadly, I can't solve a murder like Rust...or change a tire, or even tie a tie. But I do know all the lyrics to Hulk Hogan's "Real American" theme song and can easily name every Natural Born Thriller from the dying days of WCW. I was once ranked 21st in the United States in Tetris...on the Playstation 3 version...for about a week. Follow along @AndrewSoucek and check out my podcast at wrestlingwithfriends.com
