Buddy Hield is Dean Ambrose

The crowd pleasers are fan favorites for a reason. Hitting threes and acting insane are the best ways to get over with basketball and wrestling fans, respectively. Buddy Hield and Dean Ambrose embody that and both will be on full display this weekend.

Hield’s three-point shooting barrage has earned him a number of accolades this season, including being the front-runner for the Wooden Award.

Not only has his play ignited the Oklahoma Sooners, but his constant smile is infectious and his positive outlook on life, win or lose, makes him the type of college athlete we’ve been looking for at a time where they receive more negative reaction than positive.

Dean Ambrose also has a smile on his face most of the time, but in a much more dark, twisted kind of way. He welcomes all challengers, including his opponent on Sunday, Brock Lesnar, and loves pain. He’s lost matches by exploding televisions and ghostly beings appearing in the ring, but he always comes back ready to continue fighting.

He’s insane in the membrane and that’s what makes him a fan favorite.

Two completely different individuals able to please the crowd and do whatever it takes to win and both are looking to make the biggest statement of their careers in the Final Four and at WrestleMania 32.
