5 things keeping Dean Ambrose from the main event

Ambrose has been put in to the ‘Hell of a hand’ category

#4 His physical attributes

Ambrose is just 225 pounds

Yes – It is the worst kept secret in the WWE.

Vince McMahon always prefers a certain type of wrestler to be his ‘man’. Ask the 300 pound monsters who had little mic skills, but became WWE Champions if you do not believe me.

At 225 pounds, Dean Ambrose is definitely not in that category – even though he has a superb body, it isn’t the chiselled masterpiece that some one like Randy Orton has. True, Seth Rollins became WWE World Heavyweight Champion with a similar physique, but guys like him are merely exceptions that prove the rule.

CM Punk has talked about how he was asked to put on weight during his early WWE days and how he reached more than 240 pounds at a time. Matt Hardy’s efforts to reach that ‘prototype body’ eventually saw the former Cruiserweight champion subjected to chants of ‘Fat Hardy’ during his final days in the WWE.

WWE Creative still feels that fans will find it difficult to believe that some one like Ambrose would be a legitimate threat to a guy like Brock Lesnar. It harks back to the old WCW attitude, but the WWE top brass are notorious for failing to learn from past mistakes
