8/1/2015 0 Comments My Hero is a VillanI have always said my wrestling fandom started with one man. He was the bad boy I wanted to be. My heart is broken as I mourn the loss of an icon, a great man, my hero. Roddy Piper - I always wanted to be like you. Tough, respected, funny, smart as hell, and wise. Thank you for all the memories and for being my first fangirl crush. Bless you, sir. All my love, Maggs 7/30/2015 0 Comments Ovaries Be DamnedLaKeisha here. Well, Dean had the female population in overdrive on Monday. First, 2K comes out with the trailer for WWE 2K16...Dean smoking a cigar was sexy as hell, and he was just almighty God-licious. Yes, I said God-licious. My morning was made.
Then I get out of work. Maggie sends me the link to the Lockdown trailer. Ovaries started packing. I've been excited about a lot of movies, but this one has me waiting with...anticipation. Officer John Shaw can lock me up anytime. Now what could I be in for during Raw? Dean Ambrose shirtless for $200, Alex. Ovaries left the damn building. Holy Hera! Dean looks a-mazing! Even though he lost, Dean did a "mic drop". Big Show went to spear Dean through the barricade. Dean side-stepped, and Big Show went through it. Dean got up and under his own power, walked away like a boss. Boom, baby! Oh did my ovaries come back? Yeah, they did. I had a talk with them. They were not happy with Dean, but they understood. So they are back and happy. Now, I need to prepare them for Lockdown. I hope that everyone has read Chapter 5 of The Sweetest Perfection. The next chapter is the one where Dean and LaKeisha make love for the first time. Roman reveals his feelings for Maggie. Seth is plotting something sinister.

I know this is Dean's website, but I wanted to send my condolences to the Houston and Brown families. Tonight, Bobbi Kristina Brown, Whitney Houston's and Bobby Brown's daughter, passed away after being found in her bathtub unresponsive back in January. She was 22.
I pray that she is safe in the arms of God and her mother. She will be missed. Rest in Paradise, Bobbi Kristina! This is LaKeisha sadly signing off. Hey! LaKeisha here. Maggie and I have had a busy July, and I decided that I would write this blog about Dean's summer so far.
Let's start with the release of the poster for "12 Rounds: Lockdown". Holy smoke! Dean is smoking hot! We are really excited about his acting debut. Fans everywhere are just excited as we are. Now, if only we can get a trailer! Because I know I can't wait to meet Officer Shaw. We wait with bated breath. The Body Series photo shoot was just magnificent. Dean has an amazing body. I like that we got to see his workout routine, in a way. I hope we get see more of Dean and his beautiful body soon. Ok, enough short paragraphs about Dean. How about some serious observations? No Dean at Battleground? That was a huge shock. I think the writers could have found something for Dean. Dean had two exciting performances at Elimination Chamber and MITB. He's one of the most popular superstars currently in the WWE. Why not put him in the next PPV? What gives? Let me explain. Sometimes there is a method to the madness at the WWE. Wrestling fans always have to suffer for their faves. It's the wrestling circle of life, but sometimes we don't have to suffer for too much longer. Once in a great while, a wrestler will come along that will captivate an audience. They make us want to watch. The stories they tell intrigue us. When they win, we cheer. When they lose, we boo. When they turn heel, we get mad. When they turn face, we get happy. This is the wrestling circle of life. I have read many fans frustrations about where the writers are taking Dean. Valid frustrations, I will admit, but I got a feeling that the writers got something coming for Dean that will surprise us and make everyone happy. That's why I wrote about the circle of life. Our suffering won't last too much longer. We just need to be patient. If you have been reading our lovely fan fic, The Sweetest Perfection, get ready. Because we're dropping two POVs in one chapter, and it gonna be explosive! Now, you can follow us on Twitter @twodivasanddean Look for and like us on Facebook.

Well, if you think that LaKeisha's special treat for today will be in this blog, then think again! Ode to Ambrose is in the One Shot gallery. It's a conversation between Dean and his Muses. We hope you enjoy.
7/1/2015 0 Comments A Thank You And An ObservationMaggie and I would like to thank everyone who has visited the site. We are so humbled by the response, and we hope that it continues. Later, we will do something really special for Ambrose Appreciation Day and work on this week's observations on Raw and Smackdown. So stay tuned for that.
Now, an observation.... Dean Ambrose is the man. Win, lose, or even draw, he still is the man. Look, we hate when our favorite superstar loses. You wouldn't be a fan if you didn't, but you have to know that in the end, the good guy wins. End of story. We are fans because we love to see Dean in the ring. We love hearing him talk. We love him, and that's what we should focus on. So let us as a fandom go back to that. Let's show our appreciation and support for Dean. Let's show him that we are his fans and that we have his back. Let's create love starting today for Dean Ambrose. Here endeth the lesson.... This is LaKeisha signing off. Remember to be creative today. 6/26/2015 0 Comments 6/22/15 RAW ReviewFrom the POV of Maggie Riven, my RAW reviews are based on my own feelings about wrestling and the creative storyline. Also, I am a huge fan of Man-Candy. So, without further delay, here is your belated RAW review from Monday night.
We start the night off with Brock Lesner giving an apology to the fans and to Michael Cole. We had to figure something like this would happen as the WWE is working to make Lesner likable against Weasel Seth (More on that later). I am not sure I like Brock, and I have always felt the man has no personality. However, he is good eye candy from the neck down, so I will give him a pass. Kane V. Ambrose I will never understand why they just throw Ambrose into matches with Kane. I want to assume that an underlying story-line is that Ambrose wants Demon training and Kane keeps refusing. Not that Dean needs training. I mean, the forearm alone in his basket of beatdowns is always enough to make me go "OOO". Still, I do love watching them both fight, and I felt cheated when Seth Rollins came running in. Either let this feud escalate and play out the way it should, or end it. BTW, Kane doesn't need interference in my opinion. Getting the Band Back Together Oh, Seth. Why do you let the WWE write you this way? I call this version of Seth Rollins, Weasel Seth. He is a weenie and evil, and we see a guy that is an amazing wrestler appear weak and incapable. This segment just drives it home as he tries to get Kane and Joey back on his team. So sad. So pathetic. Worse, we all know that Seth is AMAZING in the ring, but it is overshadowed by this story line. PTP v The Ascension Anytime I get to see Titus O'Neal and that ass of his, I am happy. I love the Prime Time Players. They have to be one of the tag teams that entertains me the most. With that said, can someone tell The Ascension that Demolition wants their ring gear back? Sheamus v. Roman Reigns Who doesn't like looking at Roman? Also, who doesn't like hearing Sheamus talk? Wait, Maggie, take a minute and get back to the match. First, this match is good. Sheamus is getting to be more brutal, which I enjoy, and Roman is always entertaining. My issue right now is why are we pushing Sheamus? What about him interests the fans enough for him to be the MITB winner? Do I want to see Sheamus as WWE Champ? I am not sure that this feels right to me. Much like seeing Seth in that belt made him look tiny, I can't imagine Sheamus there either. Great match though, until... Bray Wyatt and Roman It has been a long time since I felt like WWE crossed the line. I think this angel with Roman's daughter is just too much for me. I don't like it, but I know that we need to make Bray look scary. But WHY THE HELL IS THIS DIRECTED AT ROMAN? Does Bray just throw darts at a superstar map and then that is how he decided who to jack with that week? It makes no sense to me. I think that there is so much talent with Bray, but this is just a waste. Roman, when you agreed to use your daughter in this angle, what were you thinking? Neville V. Kofi Neville is my sweet lil' flying muffin and Kofi is the coffee accompaniment. I really hate The New Day angle, but I love watching Kofi and I am glad we have the opportunity to see him again. Neville is always impressive and I want to receive his Arrow. (wink) Barrett V. Ryder Drool over Wade for 10 seconds. After that, it's nap time. Cena and Owens I don't like John Cena or Kevin Owens. I do, however, love this rivalry. So much is going on here and the drama feels real. I love how they are playing off each other, and Kevin Owens is really impressing me with coming of as truly a bad dude. I am always glued to these segments. Triple H plays Daddy Warbucks again. Bellas v. Tamina and Naomi So much controversy over the Divas division lately. Personally, I think all the Divas are good in the ring, but bad on the mic. If I could help them in any way, it would be to give them some acting lessons. As wrestlers, I wouldn't want to meet any of them in a dark alley. I don't like the Bella angle right now. I really hate this Mean Girls thing going on because it is so cliché. Next, when you put Tamina and Naomi in there as the "thugs" to the Bella "Barbie" image, it makes me hurt. Really, with all the feminist discussions out there, WWE is venturing to create a racial issue here too? I just think this division needs a revamp. Perhaps swap out the NXT divas with the current main divas. Then, we will see what real Divas can do. Ryback v. Mark Henry Ryback - I love you. I want to bury my face in your chest and arms and let you pet my hair. This match was boring. Then, we have Big Show come in. So wherever one WWE retiree goes, there is always another one. They come in twos, you know. Dolph Ziggler v. Adam Rose Dolph is now mid-carded and is against a newly mustached Adam Rose. Adam, you look like a child molester. More than Bray, I think. The match is OK, and the one upping of the tonsil hockey was not the deciding factor. Lana, Dolph and Rusev Does anyone else not understand this angle? I get the break up. It is good for Lana, but where did this thing come in for Dolph. There is no real foundation for it. It just appeared and there is no back story. Not sure how I feel about that. Final beatdown on Brock I enjoyed Seth getting tossed like a rag doll around the ring. I thought the interference of Kane and Joey was excessive, but it does make Brock look beatable. We need to believe that in order to make the next Battleground main event an actual competition. What I really would like to see is Seth beat Brock fairly and without question. That would make me feel like the WWE is doing what they should be with the massive talent they have. Tune in again for my next review!! Hey everyone! LaKeisha here. So this is my first blog post, and I had to put a lot of thought into what I wanted to write. Lately there has been a lot of talk about Dean being the next Stone Cold Steve Austin, and though I could somewhat agree with people's perception of Dean, I don't think he's completely the next Stone Cold.
In 2011, I received news that the WWE signed a guy named Jon Moxley who would become Dean Ambrose. I didn't know who Jon Moxley was, and I will admit, I wasn't thrilled. All I cared about was that when he arrived in the WWE, would he capture my attention? He most certainly did. November 18, 2012 changed everything for me as a fan. Dean Ambrose appeared on my screen, and even though I was mad about what happened, Dean Ambrose captivated me at that moment. He seemed like the most calculating, the most vindictive one in The Shield. He had a brash style that was unique. I had never seen anyone like him. In my mind, he reminded me of Stone Cold, but he wasn't Stone Cold. My only question was: How would he do on his own? That question would be answered with the "chair shot heard 'round the world". The night Seth Rollins betrayed The Shield. Dean Ambrose, singles competitor, debuted with a new attitude, new attire, and new music. At the time, many wondered if Dean could do it on his own? Dean had drive, charisma, and attitude. He is the complete package. Yet, would the creative team and Vince McMahon himself agree? In Dean's words, "Yep!" After a series of missteps, Dean finally had a focus, the Intercontinental Championship. While it was passed around like a game of "Hot Potato", Dean would showcase his ability at the show of shows, Wrestlemania, but it wasn't until he got a pin over a former foe that truly put Dean squarely in the title hunt, and see his star rise. So given that history, is Dean the next Stone Cold? He could be, but in his own way. He's not exactly like Stone Cold, in fact, Dean Ambrose is one of a kind. There's a grit about Dean that's refreshing. He makes me want to watch. He keeps me entertained. That's what I see in Dean. Dirty, gritty, raw. That's Dean. Stone Cold was Stone Cold. He was like the everyday guy who hated his boss, didn't trust anyone, and wanted to take it to "the man". Dean Ambrose? Well, if you know anything about Jon Moxley, he's just a sick guy who hates his boss, hates being lied to, values loyalty and brotherhood, and will kick your teeth down your throat. Let me ask again...is Dean the next Stone Cold? Till next we meet, this is LaKeisha signing off. And remember to do something creative today! 6/10/2015 0 Comments Welcome!Hi, everyone! LaKeisha here. Welcome to our home. I know you're probably wondering: Why start a website? Well, Maggie and I thought that we could have better creative control over what we want to write and express ourselves about Dean in a better forum. With so much negativity surrounding Dean's personal life, we wanted to bring the focus back to Dean. His career, his matches, and our stories. This is a positive site. One that we hope you will enjoy. It's our labor of love. For you and for Dean. So sit back, relax, and enjoy.
Coming up, we will discuss our first collaborative fan fic and Dean's championship ladder match against Seth Rollins. We will also discuss his dynamic with Roman Reigns and is it the Summer of Ambrose? See ya soon! |
