Dave Meltzer ueber Dean Ambrose als WWE Champion

[Nefercheperur]

Dave Meltzer sprach im WOR ueber Dean Ambrose als WWE Champion und lobte ihn fuer seine Arbeit, vorallem diese Woche bei Smackdown. Auszug aus dem WOR diese Woche

“Ambrose had world champion presence. When a world champion faces a face, he has to make the match work. He has to do this fine line, in which he doesn't want to be fake, and play too much as a heel. Especially, when the champion is a babyface because that would be ridiculous to their character. So, you have to play this subtle heel because the psychology is that you want to see a title change. When you have a babyface challenger if you don't want to see the title change, what is the point of the match? I thought he was so great at not being fake and the things he was saying to Ziggler made sense for his character. He shut down Ziggler when Ziggler tried to portray the both of them as victims of the system, and how he mocked Ziggler for complaining about his situation and glorifying the fact that Ziggler steals the show, but Ambrose wins the matches.

The way he came off, and the way he walked out at the end, was all subtle stuff. He got a few boos at the end, but he obviously wasn't booed out of the building, nor was that the goal. The goal was to get the fans behind Ziggler, and Ambrose did so, by being a little bit of an asshole. However, at the same time, he wasn't turning his back or being fake to his babyface character.

His delivery and presence were just so good. He felt like more of a champion than Seth Rollins and Roman Reigns ever did. I can't say more than John Cena ever did, but more than John Cena at that night, so I thought Ambrose was very good.”

Das ist ein sehr guter Punkt. Da war im uebrigen ein Bret Hart herausragend darin als Bayface Champion noch den leichten Heel zu spielen gegen Babyface Challenger, wie etwa gegen Shawn Michaels und den Undertaker 1996. Auch ein Hulk Hogan machte das immer sehr gut.
