How the hell did Enzo Amore get so over?

[mrbananagrabber]

Just watched NXT and hot damn, Enzo Amore is o-v-e-r. How did THAT happen?

Unless I've missed something, Enzo has been on TV like, four or five times? And it looks like he's already been turned face because of the sheer face reactions he's getting, and the crowd just eat up those catchphrases.

How did this happen so quickly?

You just don't get it because you're S-A-W-F-T

The ridiculousness and hamminess are coming back strong, and fans are eating it up. Fandango, Emma, Daniel Bryan, Bray Wyatt, Dean Ambrose, now Enzo. We were inundated with stripped down looks/personalities/motivations for quite a while.

As has been pointed out in previous threads, it's the return of Gimmickry.

And when you think about it, all the truly successful WWE wrestlers (including current ones) have had some kind of gimmick.

At no point in wrestling history, the old days, the 80's, the New Generation, Attitude, Post-Attitude and the present day, has it been detrimental to have gimmicks. Even in the New Generation where weird occupational gimmicks were the norm, having believable or at least slightly relatable gimmicks works.

Because he's damn entertaining.

["Gentleman" AJ Powell]

Because he's the realest guy in the room.






























BADA BOOM!

Oh my God he is amazing. He's like an entertaining Zack Ryder.

[Hanz Moleman]

I just logged on to make an appreciation thread for him! The dude needs to work out a little more, but holy hell I want him on my tv all the time. Also, Cassidy is coming along quite well. He seemed awkward at first, but him and Enzo have really started spinning gold lately.


EDIT: rewatching stuff from NXT, hes just so comfortable talking and his schtick is perfect. He's a much much MUCH better Robbie E. Enzo has licence to print money with SAWFT and being the realest guys in the room. Bada Boom.

BADA BOOM Realest Guy in The Room. Big Cass isn't too bad either.

If I had a dime for every negative thought I had about Enzo Amore I would have ZERO DIMES

[Pushed to the Moon]

I'd like to see him replace Santino as the Raw comic relief. (Not that Santino has been around lately but you get the point)

[Kayfabe FAN don't want none]

Because everyone have a SAAAAAAAWFT spot for him.

I noticed he's not in great shape, not to WWE's standards. After reading that's what's held back Kassius Ohno, I hope he gets in ring shape cos the guy is solid gold.

He's alright, will probably only make it to 3MB level though.

Which is fine, it's not something to look down on. Besides, my dream feud is him and Slater, first as an alliance then a feud as ridiculous as they can make it.

[grimbiniho]

It was crazy fast how quick he got over. But it's understandable because he oozes personality. Plus he's pushing The Rock for most catchphrases. Certified G!

Amore is clearly in great shape, plus he was hired through Joe DeFranco, HHH's personal trainer and consultant for the Performance Center.
