Dean Ambrose On His Lunatic Persona: “I Don’t Feel Unhinged”
Dean Ambrose spoke with the Huntington Herald-Dispatch to promote this past Saturday's Live Event, and he was asked how he feels about being labeled "unhinged" and "a lunatic."
Turns out Dean disagrees with the characterization.
“I feel like I’m a pretty sensible individual. I don’t feel "unhinged". It is what it is. Michael Cole said it on TV enough times that it clicked. I’m used to it. You know you get labels put on you. In the ring, I don’t care. I fly by the seat of my pants, do whatever I feel like doing. I don’t worry about the consequences.”
Ambrose is only 31, but he has enough accomplishments to last a whole career: a former WWE Champion, a two-time Intercontinental Champion and an almost year-long run with the US Title. Those championships are nice, but he doesn't get hung up on them. Right now, he's just happy to be healthy–not that he feels all that great.
“You know (championships will) come and go. You long to hold a championship belt, know it’s going to leave and you work to get one again. One moment you win a battle royal, you battle with a kendo stick, whatever it is. I don’t know any other way. I’ve been doing it so long. How’s my body doing? Terrible, I feel like crap. Doing this for over than a decade, not bad.”
Ambrose also talked about why he's not too keen on a Shield reunion.
