Title, maybe. But he may not need a title. I like the comparison's to Austin as the anti-hero, but guy's this is the reincarnation of Rowdy Roddy Piper. Piper created, perfected, and LIVED the loose cannon. It's truly a shame that we lost Pillman way too soon to see how far he could have taken the exact same role. History always repeats itself in wrestling. It takes a special character to get fans to buy the loose cannon gimmick, and Ambrose has hit a home run.

I'm not concerned with Dean getting a title. Piper's worst days were when they put the WCW strap on him. It limited him. I believe he can be that pain in the ass to The Authority, the top faces and the top heels all with the same support. This is why he does not need a title. He will always have foes that the fans will be drawn into rooting either for or against.

You do make a good point, I do see some of Roddy Piper in him as well.

You also make a good point about a wrestler not needing a title to be great. Some characters do not necessarily need a title, and some (example: The Undertaker) are more effective when they are chasing a title than when they have the title. You look at guys like Mr. Wonderful, Scott Hall, and Roddy Piper (Pre-WCW) that did not hold the title and more often than not people are surprised to find out that a lot of these superstars did not hold the title at some point during their careers.

In this day and age people like Bray Wyatt and Dean Ambrose are the types that can just get in there, do their thing, and draw a huge reaction. They are very talented, but might not necessarliy be as effective being the champion.
