Ambrose's Title Shot

[MartialHorror]

Ambrose is the most over guy on the roster right now, and was always a close second behind Daniel Bryan. The fans don't seem to care if he loses, it just makes them want to see him win even more.

Plus didn't he just hold the IC title for a couple of months, only losing it to Owens because of what's going on now? If they hadn't changed their plans at the last minute, he would still be holding it.

He's lost cleanly to Reigns, because he had too. Reigns won the number one contender spot in a match where Ambrose did most of the work, that's why he didn't last long with Reigns.

Yeah, he had the IC title and ignoring my opinion that the title means little right now, the midcard champions are usually presented as inferior to World Heavyweight Champions. There are exceptions, obviously. But Ambrose hasn't been presented as an exception, as he's getting beaten up by everyone and the only time he gets any damage in is when cheap shots are used. Even Daniel Bryan did more damage than he has.

They should actually make it a triple threat match, as the match between HHH and Reigns will be shit on by the fans. A lot of them don't want to see Reigns in the main event at Mania. I have no idea what they're going to do with Reigns to tell you the truth, the guy is just not connecting with the fans and that's a huge problem.

That depends, as Triple H matches are rarely shat upon.

They have used Ambrose all year to help put Reigns over and it's just succeeded in putting Ambrose more over, and got Reigns nowhere really. HHH will get heat from the Toronto crowd in the match against Ambrose, but at Mania it will be reversed. Maybe what they have to do is take Reigns out of the main event picture for awhile and just let it happen naturally. If fans clamour for him then there you go, if they don't, then this whole thing was a waste of time.

Win, loss records don't mean much the the WWE as it's a scripted show. All you have to do is look at Bray Wyatt and his bunch to see that. There are still quite a number of people that think he should be main eventing, even though the guy hasn't won a feud in forever. As of right now he doesn't even have a match at Mania I don't believe. So there's a guy with a following can't win a feud to save his life, and we'll give him a pass but not Ambrose. I mean shit Wyatt was supposed to fight Lesnar this year. That can still happen depending on what happens at Roadblock.

Yeah, it's a scripted show, but isn't that we argue, analyze, critique and talk about anything here? We are watching a story unfold and we want that story to be a good one in the long run. To me, forcing Ambrose in there and putting the belt on him at this time would only draw more attention to how wrestling is fake. We know that it's fake, just that we know movies are fake, but good movies invest you in so you're not thinking about that while you're watching it.

If WWE is smart, Trips drops the belt to Ambrose at Roadblock. Here's why: Everyone and their Grandmother has wanted a mano-a-mano match of the Shield since the breakup. Here is that golden opportunity for that one-on-one. Furthermore, WM32 is having a bitch of a time selling out. Why? The world knows that Reigns will defeat Trips for the strap. So, why bother shelling out the money to go where you already know the outcome? An Ambrose win at Roadblock now adds mystery into the Main event. Will Ambrose retain? Will Reigns turn heel? Will Ambrose turn heel? Will there be some type of shenanigans? So many angles you can play with. However, it only gets play with an Ambrose win at Roadblock.

As for being booked as a "loser": Yeah, he loses. But, at least he is a fighting maniacal loser. Do not lump him with the same coal as the Social Outcasts. Ambrose is far more over than Khali or Swagger ever were. And, the only reason that Khali held the strap was to supplement a tour of India. Sometimes, those that are over with the crowd are more important than how they are perceived to have been booked.

Given that they've already announced Ambrose versus Brock at Mania in a No Holds Barred Street Fight, it's almost a given that Ambrose won't beat HHH at Roadblock, not clean anyway.

That can always change. They could do with Ambrose what they did with Daniel Bryan: Make him fight Lesnar, then fight Reigns. Have something like that equals more of a reason to buy a ticket.

And if someone like Reigns or Cena was booked in that position you people would bitch they no sold the Lesnar beating.

Doesn't matter though. If percentages could be expressed in negatives, that would be the chances this booking will happen.

They are trying to sell out AT&T Stadium. That is a tall enough order. Western Unioing a card is NOT going to sell it out. Everyone and their Grandmother knows what is going to be the outcome of every single match. Why buy the ticket?

And, we WOULD be bitching because they would not be BELIEVABLE in that position. However, comparing Ambrose to Reigns/Cena is like comparing Bruiser Brody to Bob Backlund. Would you have booked Brody the same way as a Backlund? Hell no! Ambrose is a whack job. A lunatic. A genuine Grade A Filbert amongst the nuts. You need to kill him to get him to stop. That is how he is booked! Lesnar does not have to fight for the strap. Just the chance to kick the living shit out of Ambrose. So, once the match is ended, probably by a DQ of Lesnar, Ambrose is savagely beaten to within and inch of his life. He is carried out of the arena. When the Authority declares (or tries to) the match a forfeit and strips Ambrose, guess who comes out rolling down the aisle in a stretcher? Dean Ambrose!

Now, Ambrose may very well lose the belt in that situation. He might not. But, I will tell you this: It will add a hint of mystery to a card that is heavily Western Unionized. It will give people more of a reason to plunk down that few hundred bucks to see the event live, rather than hang out with 15-20 people in someone's apartment under that $9.99 or worse, the illegal stream.

Fire Marshal, you are probably very right that this booking is NOT going to happen. All it is going to do is be a political embarrassment to Vince McMahon when AT&T Stadium draws about 80K. Furthermore, Roman Reigns will STILL NOT get over with a "WM moment". He will still get booed, and Trips will get cheered, and Stamford will be asking themselves "What now?"

Everyone knew how WM30 was going to end. It was extremely predictable. How'd that show do? WrestleMania really does sell itself for the most part. And political embarrassment? Yeah. Ok.
