Dean Ambrose recently spoke with CBS Sports to promote WWE’s WrestleMania 32. The full interview can be read at this link. Below are highlights:
Gaining fans because his character is true to life:
“People can see through crap pretty easily. Just go out there and be comfortable. Be you. Be authentic. If you’re the real you, people can feel like they know you a little bit. I think that’s why a lot of people kind of invest in me. They don’t know me, but they feel like they know me a little bit, because I’m not putting on a front.”
Being different than Brock Lesnar:
“There’s a difference between a prizefighter and a guy fighting for his life and a guy fighting just on animal instinct. They call me the iron man of WWE because I’m the workhorse of WWE. I’m wrestling every single night in any kind of situation against any kind of opponent. I just keep on plugging along. We couldn’t be coming from more polar opposite places.”
The No Holds Barred Street Fight with Lesnar:
“I’ve been through everything from fire to glass to thumbtacks to barbed wire. I’ve had body parts chopped off of me and sewn back on. There’s really nothing on a pain level, physical endurance level, that I haven’t had to deal with, you know? How long is he gonna be willing to try to keep me down before he starts getting frustrated?”
“We’ll find out if there’s any quit in Brock Lesnar. If the chips are down, will he just go ‘Aw, screw this,’ because he’s already been there, done that. He’s got nothing to prove and he’s rich. He’s not fighting for personal pride and preservation and survival.”
