We've always heard about Dean Ambrose being The Lunatic Fringe but did we honestly see him display that side of his persona back when he was in WWE? I've often said in all of my pieces that I felt that Dean Ambrose isn't half the lunatic that Nikki Cross is. But in the video, we finally see him embrace the hardcore element.
Remember the passing of the torch from Mick Foley to Ambrose, when he handed the latter a barbed wire bat? We had assumed it would lead to Ambrose actually bringing the hardcore aspect back to PG programming. But over time, Dean Ambrose just became another character in the roster.
But now Dean Ambrose will be embracing his independent roots and his CZW origin, to create a much more lunatic character, at long last. This is the unhinged Ambrose you've always longed to see in WWE.
