American professional wrestler Dean Ambrose: biography, fights and interesting facts

Professional wrestling - a kind of fusion of sports, theatrical performance, circus and TV show. One of the characters of this alternative universe is the wrestler Dean Ambrose, who regularly performs in WWE events. He debuted in the association in 2012 and was remembered for his alliances with other wrestlers and team battles with an unpredictable outcome.

Carier start

In December 1985, in Cincinnati, Ohio, the birthplace of Jonathan Weight Hood, later known as Dean Ambrose, was born. For the first time he started wrestling in 2004. Then he was known under the pseudonym of John Molly. For eight years, Jonathan has performed in various independent arenas. There are many small regional wrestling organizations, and the future Dean Ambrose has lit up in many of them. During this time, he managed to become a five-time world champion in different versions.

Including twice, Jonathan took the title of heavyweight champion Combat Zone Wrestling, Insanity Pro Wrestling. In addition, the athlete managed to conquer the Heartland Wrestling Association, International Wrestling Association and other prestigious wrestling sites.

However, all these beautiful and high-profile titles meant little, since the main monopolist in the world of wrestling was the WWE of the great and terrible Vince McMahon. Only cooperation with this organization could open the way to fame for any fighter.

Jonathan Goode's efforts were crowned with success in 2011, when he signed a contract with WWE and was sent for performances in the division of the state of Florida, changing his nickname to "Dean Ambrose." Preparation was not in vain, and for the year of performances in the FCW, he spent several beautiful fights, than he deserved an invitation to the WWE main roaster.

Shield and Dean

The age of Dean Ambrose in 2012 allowed to hope that he will have a bright career in WWE. The organizers of the show made a bet, first of all, on the performance of the wrestler in team battles. Wrestling events have little to do with real fights, staged battles are woven into the plot thread of a swirling dramatic story.

The story of Dean Ambrose in big wrestling began with his participation in the group called "Shield" in 2012. Together with Seth Rollins and Roman Seins, he attacked Reibek, who, along with John Siu, tried to take away the WWE world champion title from SM Punk. So the latter managed to defend his title, and in the world of wrestling appeared a team of fighters called "Shield".

The guys claimed that the purpose of their gang was to protect justice in the ring, but they were seen in the repeated support of SM Pank. All this led to the fact that a duel was organized in which the "Shield" confronted the team Hell No, which was supported by Raybek. The fighters for universal justice won and continued to play the role of bouncers and bodyguards for SM Punk.

A guy from the outback, tightened in leather armor, the former Jonathan Goode, had success with the public and in 2013 got the opportunity to take his first personal title to the WWE. A match took place between Dean Ambrose and Kofi Kingston, in which the challenger won and took the belt of the US champion. However, a year later, the public's favorite Shamous managed to arrange a demonstrative beating Dean and took away his title.

Solo career

In 2014, the friendly team "Shield" broke up, and Dean Ambrose went on a free voyage. He rebooted his image, changed the image, began to enter the ring for other music.

From this time begins the history of fyuds, that is, the unique multi-series confrontations of the wrestler Dean Ambrose with other fighters. It all started with a series of battles against the former ally of Seth Rollins. Several times they met each other, and every time Seth defeated the opponent. Especially colorful was the joint beating of Dean Ambrose Seth and Kane, when they two typed the enemy's head in concrete blocks.

In 2014, another colorful match, "Hell in the cage," in which, with the assistance of Bray White, Rollins again defeated Dean. Then, in a colorful show with tables, stairs and chairs, Bray White had already dealt with the Cincinnati swashbuckler alone.

The series of failures was interrupted in 2015, when, after defeating Dolph Ziegler and Tyler Breeze, Dean Ambrose became a contender for the Intercontinental Champion title.

Intercontinental champion

In November 2015, a dramatic duel took place between the recent WWE debutant Kevin Owens. In the course of the fight, the latter pretended to have received a blow to the groin, and Dean Ambrose had a disqualified disqualification. To take revenge for the unfair defeat, former Jonathan Goode managed on the Survivor Series (2015), where he defeated Owens in the semifinal match for the championship.

The decisive battle between them took place in a match of stairs, tables and chairs, where Dean smashed his improvised inventory of an unlucky opponent and took the title of continental champion.

Furious Owen did not accept defeat and interfered in Dean's fights with other fighters. At the SuperSmack Down event, a colorful tripartite match took place with Ambrose, Dolph Ziggler and Kevin Owens, in which the defending champion defended his title.

Victory in WWE

In the end, Dean Ambrose lost the title Owens, followed by a series of unrelated fights, which he conducted with varying success. A turning point in his career came in 2016, when the wrestler won a six-party show with stairs, so he got a chance to fight WWE champion Seth Rollins and used it that same evening. After a successful defense against Dolph Ziggler, he then lost the belt to Hey Jay Stiles. After this began another series of confrontation with the bad guy Ambrose with a new implacable rival. Here was involved another wrestler, James Elsworth, who moved from one side to the other, participating in constant skirmishes of competitors.

All this ended with the final battle for the WWE championship title, in which Dean Ambrose and AJ Stiles met, in which Ellsworth unexpectedly betrayed his ally and helped Stiles to defend the title. Once again, Ellsworth "helped" Dean in the match for the title of intercontinental world champion, supporting Mizu.

Personal life

Wrestling - a kind of symbiosis of sports and shows, and many famous fighters are often removed on large screens. Dean Ambrose, whose films are made up of his speeches, is no exception.

Until 2013, the wrestler met with Helena Hivenley, after which a new girl appeared on the horizon. Dine's favorite was the commentator Renee Pakket, with whom he was friends for four years, after which he married her in 2017.
