According to Meltzer, Cass and Enzo have backstage heat.

Arguably the best stick worker in the company, lives his gimmick, and gasp, like legends of the business, stays going to strip clubs. It's not a coincidence one of the most charismatic and entertaining guys they have is the same out of the ring. Look at the legends of this business, most were even bigger characters out of the ring than in it. The biz needs more guys like enzo

y'all do realize he hunts down most of these celebs at events to get pics with them right? Like an IG thot would

 

[Grifter]

It would be different if he could wrestle.

That's not true and you know it. Everyone knows his family is in the music business and he friends with allot of these people. If you don't just say that . Don't be that guy making faking stories up to get daps.

So u didn't see him at the Floyd fight doing exactly what I just said

I know he knows people like the weeknd

Who this?

Dude is close to or about Eva Marie status in the ring and doesn't seem like he is really improving which is probably annoying people backstage. If he could actually work then I think people would be able to tolerate him a lot more.

Plus wrestlers are very sensitive about there business they take it very seriously and don't like when they feel someone's isn't paying there dues or respecting the business the right way.

You don't openly brag about how much you making and shyt to other guys

On the one hand, I could definitely see how Enzo's success could rub the current locker room the wrong way. The current roster is full of indie cats and people who grew up huge fans of the sport and craft of wrestling. They are all about the workrate and the athleticism. Which Enzo doesn't have at all. In a business that's full of people with fragile egos and general pettiness, a lot of cats probably don't like seeing someone who is only good at two things - talking and selling - taking up so much TV time.

On the other hand, I'm sure Enzo really is annoying as hell. Every story that comes out about him backstage certainly paints that picture. Plus there's the archaic rules of respect the wrestling business works under that I'd bet money Enzo doesn't give a fukk about.

On the other foot, meh. If the dudes in the locker room want to get Enzo out the paint, find a way to get more over than him. If management wants him gone, let him go. Either way, it seems so far, nothing he's done is enough to eclipse the money he brings in. So

Did Enzo cheat on Liv's fine ass?

The WWE locker room is notoriously petty and at high school levels of chatty patty-ness. It wouldn't surprise me that it's just main roster folks who have been conditioned by Vince and his carny nonsense and the long standing backstage "rules", so now they cant stand to see another guy cook outside of the business. Bet he had no problems getting along in nXT.

People didn't like him in NXT either. One of the former coaches complained about how difficult Enzo was as a student.

Former WWE Performance Center Coach On Difficult Talent, Enzo's Attitude, Triple H's Involvement - WrestlingInc.com

Today episode #267 of The Two Man Power Trip of Wrestling welcomes the former Head Strength and Conditioning Coach for the WWE and the WWE Performance Center, Matt Wichlinski. Matt has been responsible for helping the first major class of the WWE PC keep themselves in top physical condition and build them to become future WWE Superstars. We are also joined by former WWE Superstar, Kevin Thorn / Mordecai. Kevin joins John and Chad to discuss his association with Matt Wichlinski's Strength Shop and what he has done to transform his body and get into the best shape of his life.

Talent opposed to some of his teachings:

"An obvious one would be Enzo Amore. He trained with Joe DeFranco for several years before he came into the "PC". Joe DeFranco is Triple H's personal trainer. Joe is an amazing guy and a brilliant strength coach and Enzo trained with him for a couple of years but he is a guy that just doesn't listen very well. He has some decent athletic ability (he played college football) but he is very hard to coach. Not just in the gym but in the ring as well. In talking with his other coaches and he worked with all of the coaches (since he was there) for three or four years and Norman Smiley, Bill Demott and all of them thought he could be a real pain in the ass. Sometimes he can be awesome and other times he could be a pain in the ass. He's one of those guys that thought he trained at DeFranco's so he knows everything. I do a lot of things very similar and somewhat the same as what DeFranco does but certain things may be different and just because you did it one way, I'm asking you to do it different right now and if am asking you for a certain reason it's because I want to see you do it this way because I am building to something else. Everyone that knows Enzo knows he is a hell of a character and a good guy but he can be a pain in the ass to work with sometimes, not all the time."

"I know this for a fact. If you try and coach somebody and you tell them what to do 10 or 12 times and they don't listen and they don't fix it or they only fix it while you are right in front of their face. Even it is absolutely terrible technique they just feel comfortable in what they are doing. Charlotte was another one. Charlotte wasn't necessarily a pain in the ass but because she is such a good athlete, Charlotte was not just the best female athlete but one of the best athletes there. She can do her flips and all that stuff but sometimes you'd want something specific from her and she would just not be in the mood and just do her own thing. What was I going to do with Charlotte? She was already an athlete as good as she needs to be. She's very lean, very talented and sometimes you just have to know what battles to pick. The biggest issue was if you let one person slide (no matter how good) then other people start to slide."

The structure of how to internally handle an issue and Triple H's involvement:

"I didn't just go texting Triple H saying "so and so" isn't doing his push-ups. I would have to deal with it with all the coaches who have a weekly meeting and if it was something that could wait until the weekly meeting than you might want to bring it up. All the coaches know and you are all on the same page as to what is going on in the ring and what is going on in the gym or in the physical therapy room and what is going on behind the scenes with Ryan Katz as they do their promos or when Dusty was there."

"Anything that was to come up it goes into your weekly reports so if it's an issue that I can't handle myself than yes you do bring it up. I brought it up to my boss, either Bill Demott or to Matt Bloom and share it with their coaches so that they knew to address it and that was everyone is on the same page. But it was never a main thing (with Enzo) where I wanted to dropkick his face and you've got to realize anytime you are in a position like that just look at what these guys are doing. They are being told what to do constantly so I can't really blame them. I started calling him Sinatra towards the end and once he went up, I was just calling him Sinatra because he did it his way. A lot of sh*t he did was f*cking wrong. Blatantly wrong. Whether it was his selling or this or that but look at him now. He did it his way and he's up there and making his money and he has got a hell of a life. He's just laughing it up and having a great time so kudos to him. He was one of these guys that would kind of get away with doing things his way and it paid off for him. Somebody else may have gotten fired, who knows and I'm not trying to pick on him."

But that just goes back to him being shytty in the ring rather than disliked by his peers.

He's lucky Benoit ain't on this earth dude would have made Enzo pay his dues.

 

[Starboy52]

Did Enzo cheat on Liv's fine ass?

Yup. And apparently the company decided to drop dime on him on live TV.

I didn't even know any of that occurred until today.



The WWE just released this video too.

I'm going to sound like I'm not from Harlem for a second

But this company is messy

They as subtle as a sledgehammer to the throat on this shyt.
