September 3, 2015

wwe raw WWE star Dean Ambrose recently spoke to The UK’s Sun while attending the WWE 2k16 media event in New York City over SummerSlam weekend. The following are some interview highlights:

On why he avoids social media:

“I try not to, there’s a whole world of weirdos out there — and lots of great fans, too.

“But I try to keep myself pretty closed off from the world because there’s some weird stuff out there, man. Some (weird) stuff. And I was doing some weird stuff before all that (social media) became weird stuff.”

On not holding a title in WWE since his United States Title run:

“I don’t look any further than what’s right in front of me.

“If you’re really good at doing what you do, good things will come.

“I just go out there every day and be one of the greatest professional wrestlers that ever lived, because at this point that’s what I am.”

Nick was born and raised in Detroit, Michigan, and lived there until the age of 18, when he decided to pack his flack jacket and move to New York City.

Nick attended New York University and graduated in 2001 with a degree in Drama.

Nick first entered the internet wrestling community back in 2004 when he became the co-host of The Voice of Wrestling Radio Show. From there, Nick made the transition from radio personality to editor when he began working with WrestleZone in 2008.

Nick is a member of two Off-Broadway theatre companies, Another Urban Riff, and the Drama Desk Award winning Godlight Theatre Company. Nick has appeared in over a dozen Off-Broadway plays since he moved to New York City, and has shot several short and feature length films. In 2010, he completed principle photography on a film titled "How to Score Your Life," which also features TNA Knockout ODB.

Inspiration in his life has come from many people including his family, Woody Allen, Steven Spielberg, Jack Nicholson, The Beatles, and of course, Lassie.
