Okay, let me tell you what I got up to recently. It’s kind of specific, maybe a bit weird, but hey, it’s what I spent my time on. It all revolved around this wrestler, Dean Ambrose. Yeah, Dean Ambrose Dean Ambrose, like the title says.
Getting Started
So, I found myself watching some old wrestling clips a while back. Just randomly, you know? And Dean Ambrose, this dude just caught my eye again. He wasn’t like the others. Had this real unpredictable vibe, the whole ‘Lunatic Fringe’ thing. It got me thinking. I remembered liking his stuff back when he was really active in WWE, but I never really dug deep, you know?
So, I decided, right, I’m gonna actually try to understand this guy’s whole deal. Not just watch the matches, but really get into the character he was portraying.
The Process – Diving In
First thing I did was just pull up a bunch of his older work. I started with The Shield days, seeing him alongside Roman Reigns and Seth Rollins. Watched how he was the wild card even back then. It was fun seeing that dynamic again.
Then, I moved onto his solo stuff after The Shield broke up. This is where it got really interesting for me.
- His feud with Seth Rollins – man, that felt personal.
- Winning the WWE Championship. That was a big moment.
- His promos – I watched a ton of his interviews and backstage segments. He had this way of talking, kinda rambling but intense.
I spent a good few evenings just watching clips, pay-per-view matches, even some of the less important weekly show segments. I wasn’t really looking for anything specific at first, just trying to soak it all in. I guess I wanted to figure out what made him tick, what made him so compelling to watch. Why did he feel so different?
Figuring Things Out (Sort Of)
It wasn’t like some big revelation, you know. But the more I watched, the more I felt like the whole point was that he wasn’t easy to figure out. One minute he’s joking around, the next he’s deadly serious and maybe a little scary. He wasn’t just playing ‘crazy’; it felt more like someone who just operated on their own frequency, completely unpredictable.
Honestly, trying to pin down the ‘why’ was the whole fun of it. He wasn’t a clean-cut hero or a straightforward bad guy most of the time. He was just… Ambrose. That intensity, that feeling that anything could happen when he was on screen. That’s what I ended up appreciating the most.
So yeah, that was my little project. Just spending some time revisiting this wrestler’s character. It was a good way to kill some time, and I actually got more into watching wrestling again because of it. It reminded me how cool character work can be, even in wrestling.
