Smackdown being an hour shorter than Raw is half the reason why it's better. Less time for them to screw things up.
Dean went full Pillman.
Dean is at his best when you just give him a mic and let him fly off the handle.
The hour less is a factor, but I ask you this: Take last night's RAW and change into a 2-hour show... how good would it be in comparison to SmackDown overall, in terms of character-build and storytelling?
Not denying 2-hours of RAW would be better than 3... just saying that the problems on it go beyond just the duration of the show.
He just shot on the face of the company. If that wasn't scripted (it didn't seem to be the case) he pretty much took Austin's advice and showed some balls. When all of this is said and done, I would be into a Cena v. Ambrose feud, as long as Ambrose is the heel in the situation. He doesn't necessarily need to win the rivalry, but at least it would evolve his character and keep him in the spotlight.
Kind of a shame, really. This Ambrose character absolutely translates well to a babyface. I don't blame those who question my opinion on that one, but I invite you to rewatch the opening few minutes of Shield vs Wyatts before you do. Ambrose plays his anger to the point where it's getting the better of him, and it seems like he's getting a sympathetic babyface reaction for it. Maybe that's just me, but that's what I remember about that match.
Unfortunately, Ambrose has been rendered stale by quirky gimmicks and cutesy promos. They barely scratched the surface with how good a proper, intense Ambrose face can be. Perhaps it's not too late, but in my opinion, it feels like the heel turn is necessary to freshen up the character.
Man if there is one thing I can't stand, it's the old adage of turning heel will somehow make them better. Ambrose has been excellent as a face and there is really no reason to turn him heel. And let's say if for some horrible reason he does turn heel, who is there to take his place? Cena is gone till January after No Mercy and Orton will probably still be dealing with Bray if not having a return match with Lesnar in the future. Ambrose is in his right place as the top face on SD and he should be that for a long time. His promo tonight was not a heel promo, it was a guy talking about his issues about another guy. Ever since MITB, Ambrose has been killing it in the promo aspect and this night was no different.
Better is subjective.
A heel turn would make him more interesting. His PG frat boy gimmick (or whatever it is) since leaving The Shield is stale and rather boring. As he's shown when he goes heel he's less boring.
I mean look at The Usos. They were boring as sin for years and their recent heel turn has given their career a hugely needed boost.
I don't know. I feel like Ambrose's best work is still in front of him and I truly want to see him being this devious maniac dude who truly enjoys punishing people. That at least should be a goal for 2017.
Which means Survivor Series WWE Title Match will be AJ Styles vs. Dean Ambrose in some sort of gimmick match, until they change it to AJ Styles vs. Randy Orton and wait for Cena to comeback and win at WrestleMania, I guess... They'll stretch the shit out of two rivalries and it'll probably hurt them.
Why do you think that?
