Dean Ambrose recently spoke with The Independent to promote 12 Rounds 3: Lockdown, which was released in the U.K on January 4th. Here are the highlights.
Do you have any favourite Royal Rumble memories from past events?
I always liked the guys who lasted a long time in the match and had endurance. People like Ric Flair going an hour at the 1992 Rumble, or Shawn Michaels and the British Bulldog being one and two in 1995 and both lasting until the end.
It’s a lot like my character in the movie, these people are shooting at him all day and he just stays in there. If I’m in the Royal Rumble it will be a lot like that because really you can’t kill me, I’m just going to hang until the end.
There have been strong rumours of new recruits to WWE over the past week, including the possible signing of AJ Styles. Does news like that excite you?
I’m down with that, this is where the best talent in the world is. I hadn’t heard about AJ coming in so that’s really cool. I think NXT has opened up the doors for a lot of guys to come in and create different opportunities.
In North America there aren’t too many big places to go, so you find that pretty much all of the best talent in the world ends up filtering through WWE. It’s a very exciting time.
Finally, you have been in the ring with many of the best wrestlers of all time but is there anybody you haven’t yet faced who you would like to?
I’d love to wrestle Samoa Joe at some point, I’ve never been in the ring with him and I can picture that being pretty cool. Other than that I think I’ve wrestled everybody. That’s what comes when you’re a guy who has been around for a while and who can do it all.
