I don't like how Ambrose's Main Event Push is only 2 weeks long. It's longer than 2 weeks. Don't forget he had the 2 weeks before the last PPV too when he got added into the match to make it a Fatal 4 Way. So I guess it will be a 4 week long push. *sigh* I hope they do more with him though, I remember thinking he would get lost in the shuffle once The Shield split and he did for a while there, thankfully they put him in a situation now that is fitted for him.

Who the hell has been complaining that he's too similar to Stone Cold? Honestly I'd call that a compliment? Countless people in last nights Raw thread. I wouldn't consider calling him a "rip-off" and a "poor man's Austin" compliments. I would stay away from that 'RAW Thread'. I was active in it every Monday night years ago until I realized it was tarnishing my enjoyment of the show. Just my opinion.

This board has thousands of members. Do you honestly expect everyone to agree on anything? No matter what happens, you'll have at least some people who didn't enjoy it. Generally, these are not the same people complaining about everything. But for some reason, it seems like some people can't comprehend this, and just automatically assume that everyone's a hypocrite when there are two opposing consensuses at two different times about a similar topic. Personally, I hated when they cooled off Ambrose, and thought that he killed it last night. I'm fairly sure a lot of people are aware of this but ignore it so that they can make an easy, but wrong point and/or troll the forum. I can think of a few examples that primarily do the latter... On a completely unrelated note, your avatar is glorious.

I made this point in another thread, but I felt like it deserved it's own. Last summer when WWE slowly eased off on Dean Ambrose's push, fans complained and said that he didn't deserve it. Now that he's getting pushed again, fans are complaining that he's too similar to Stone Cold and he makes the show boring. And after thinking about that, I've come to a conclusion. WWE can't win. No matter what they do, the IWC will find something to complain about. It's the internet, nobody can win. They could hold free weekly lotteries where the winner gets $1,000 and someone will still bitch. WWE isn't being targeted. Look around (at the internet as a whole, not just here), everyone bitches about everything. Personally, I'm not a huge WWE fan. I haven't been for years. I'll catch an episode and a half per month on average, which is the most I've watched in years. I was a lifelong fan who had been turned off by the product but wants to see it get better. It almost makes sense for people like me to bitch. Almost. What I don't get are the people that claim to be superfans who watch all 957,000 hours of television the WWE puts out every week that still complain.

Again, people just don't seem to grasp the fact that with so many people on a website, many of them are not flip-flopping but you're just encountering different people with different opinions... I wish I could like this more than once.

This is my last post here for a while.
I repeat. The IWC is made of MILLIONS of people. There has been complaining about WWE's direction since 1992. Don't believe me? Find an interent Wayback machine.
There's NEVER going to be a period where everyone's happy so instead of bitching about bitching which causes me to bitch, shut up and just enjoy the show. Or don't. Who gives a crap what other's think?
If you let other people's opinon's hinder your enjoyment of something I feel sorry for you, this argument is more tired than "Cena sucks". Not everyone's going to like or dislike the same things you do, if I let that bother me I'd hate every Simpsons past 2000 and every Silent Hill game past 4.
If anyone on here thinks that they're above the IWC or that they aren't a "hardcore" wrestling fan they're wrong. You come to an internet to talk about wrestling? You're apart of the IWC. This is just stupid and I'm tired of people bashing a group they're apart of.

You're just realising this now? I'm quoting this because this is the exact thing I said when I read the title of this thread, and the contents. On the actual subject at hand, Dean Ambrose, I've always liked him, well since I first saw him. Honestly, I don't like his WWE character. In WWE, sure he's crazy, briefcases full of slime, coming out in cop cars, but he's silly crazy. He's not Roddy Piper/Cactus Jack/Pillman had a three way and produced something really ed up crazy like in the indies. And now his mobility is as limited as ever and he's brawling...a lot. I still really like him though.

Kinda unrelated but people crap on The PG era just because it's not the Attitude Era but in reality the Ruthless Aggresion era was better then attitude and ph is up there with them

Any Austin similarities are not a bad thing for Ambrose.
He's not a rip off, he has just did things that kinda make you think back to when Austin would do crazy stuff in the Attitude Era like with the beer truck. That wasn't all Austin was about though; he was a pissed off, trash talking badass reckneck while Ambrose is a crazy lunatic.

Kinda unrelated but people crap on The PG era just because it's not the Attitude Era but in reality the Ruthless Aggresion era was better then attitude and ph is up there with them I can't speak for everyone who doesn't like the PG era, but for me it has nothing to do with the product being PG. I was born in 1984 and began watching wrestling in 1986. All wrestling -- WWF/E, AWA, NWA, WCW, etc -- was PG during the vast majority of my life. Many of my favorite memories of wrestling are from the various PG eras. In retrospect, I find the Attitude Era to be overrated. 16 year old moesiah loved it, however 30 year old moesiah would have been watching a lot more WCW. No, I dislike the current because of the creative direction. The storylines are terrible. There's too much goddamn talking, which only got worse when Raw went to the hours. The wrong guys are usually pushed. In short, they deemphasized wrestling. It'sgotten better recently in terms of match length and the overall amount of wrestling, but it's subpar at best. You cannot tell me that WWE has a better in ring product than Ring of Honor, Lucha Underground or New Japan. Hell Lucha Underground also destroys WWE's non-wrestling segments. My point is that you can't lump us all together. Just because I don't like PG WWE, it's not because I want to see Goldust get dominated by Luna Vachon with a ball gag in his mouth or Mark Henry have sex with an elderly woman and impregnate her with a fully developed, adult hand. I'm a w r e s t l i n g fan and as Daniel Bryan said, WWE is a parody of wrestling.

I have no problems in the way wwe is pushing Ambrose , people like us who know the attitude era and it iconic moments like Austin being arrested, see this and just think its a " old pony doing the same old tricks " , but to child who's maybe 6,7,8,9,10 years of age sees this and thinks it's cool and original because they don't know what happened 15 years ago
