4 Interesting Facts about Dean Ambrose

#1 His wrestling idol

He's idolized Bret Hart since the ECW era

Ambrose is one of the most unstable characters on screen today. His gimmick has worked extremely well in making the fans believe that he is indeed a lunatic.

He got hooked on to wrestling due to one of the biggest legends in the sport. He discovered ECW, and soon Bret Hart became his favourite wrestler. Even though his gimmick is nowhere similar to The Hitman’s, he idolized Hart to a great extent.

In 2015, the lunatic revealed that he “was never a Hulkamaniac” when growing up. Instead, he liked Bret Hart for the reason that “he was the realistic, relatable guy” among a “giant litany of bullies” and that Hart always found a way “to outsmart them, out trick them, outlast them.”

Since Ambrose had a really rough upbringing, it makes sense that Bret Hart’s character helped him stay focused and decide what he wanted to do in his life.
