Wise words from Enzo Amore.
WWE previously released Enzo Amore, also known as Real1, in 2018. The two-time WWE Cruiserweight Champion has since competed on the independent scene, and he had a run in MLW as well.
Speaking with Wrestling Shoot Interviews, Enzo Amore envisioned potentially returning to WWE and going back and forth with Paul Heyman. He recalled how Paul Heyman used to call him the "Promo God".
"I hope Paul Heyman’s out there with a microphone. Let’s give the people what they want to see. Because every time I saw Paul Heyman in a hallway, Paul Heyman looked at me and said, ‘Ah hah, promo for.’ If that was a lie, do you think I would say it on-camera? I’m the realest guy in the room. This isn’t a lie. This is what Paul Heyman called me. Promo God. If there’s one guy I would want to work on the stick in this business, give me the guy you all consider to be the best at it. Give me Paul fucking Heyman. You hit my music and that man is standing in the ring with a microphone…that’s just Enzo, the guy who Paul Heyman called ‘Promo God’, meeting him on-stage to do the thing that we do better than anyone in the world. That is a reaction, that is a rating, and that is real," Amore said.
Amore went on to share his belief that a promo segment with him and The Rock is inevitable. He noted that he had been dreaming about it since he was a kid. Amore brought up how he met The Rock backstage. He wrapped up by sharing some wise words.
"It’s the inevitable one day, that I’m the greatest promo of my generation, and I’m out there with the greatest promo of his generation, The Rock. How does this not happen? For me, it’s a manifestation of my childhood dreams. I have a picture of me [when I] met Dwayne Johnson backstage, of me holding his action figure on Christmas morning. When I met Dwayne Johnson backstage, I showed it to him, and he posted a picture of us on his Instagram, and that was really cool. But that was my hero when I was a kid. The whole goal is to have your idols become your rivals. So if I look at the top of the business, this where I see myself. That’s where I want to be, and I’m gunning for somebody’s spot. If you’re in the WWE right now and you know that I’m out here working as hard as I am on the indies, wrestling every single weekend, shaking hands and kissing babies and doing all the right things, I would be fucking so fearful of the man who has to stand in front of me. I’m the guy that you have to fear. I’m the one that you’re not thinking about right now. When I show up, shit is going to hit the fan. Because any man can piss on the floor. It takes a great man to shit on the ceiling," Amore said.
As of this writing, there is no word on a potential WWE return for Enzo Amore.
Amore previously said he thought that he could compete at the Tokyo Dome after he wrestled at All Star Junior Festival.
