A biography for Dean Ambrosehasn’t been written yet.
“For me, wrestling was an escape. It was like a way out.”
“If you're a wrestling fan, and you watch it on TV, that's great, but there's nothing quite like being there live.”
“I like, at the end of the night, to be walking back to the locker room limping and sweating, spitting blood out of my mouth. I've been doing this for a long time, and it comes naturally.”
“I just go out there and be myself and turn up the voltage a little bit for entertainment value.”
“I could totally see myself limping down the aisle when I'm 60, jumping off the top rope and breaking my hip. I could be a hilarious geriatric wrestler.”
“There is no creative process to come up with a character of Dean Ambrose.”
“I hate ladders. I don't mind heights, but I hate getting hit with ladders and falling into ladders. Anything where there are ladders involved or inanimate, unpredictable objects or multiple people gets dangerous.”
“I listen to some Hank Williams before I go out. I tell some jokes. I have fun. I don't waste too much energy thinking about it - I like to save that all for the ring.”
“I'm doing some more dangerous stuff on a weekly basis than professional stunt men are doing.”
“If you're really good at doing what you do, good things will come.”
“It is very easy to get hurt in a match like the Royal Rumble. It seems very run of the mill, but it's always the stupid stuff where you get hurt.”
“Threats mean nothing to me.”
“I always take pride in the fact that nobody can mess with me, and I never let anybody mess with me my entire life.”
“Where a new guy may only know one or two ways to do something, I know all of the moves, and I've forgotten more stuff than the newer guys might even know.”
“In a situation like the Rumble, I'm looking around constantly and keeping my back against a rope as much as possible so I can see what's going on.”
“I was pretty happy with what we were able to do on 'SmackDown.' It was one of the best, most fun runs of my career because it was essentially a new show.”
“Having that main event load to carry is very comfortable for me. Anything less is uncomfortable.”
“A crowd urging you on to do well can be very encouraging. It's very fun. It can be a really cool feeling.”
“I put in the same hours to get good at this as a surgeon who went to college. It's just a much less important job in the realm of society.”
“The WWE Championship is the greatest championship in the history of this sport. It has the most history of anything.”
