Enzo Amore has been one of the most entertaining superstars since his time in NXT. Along with Big Cass, the duo have captivated audiences with their quick wit and clever humor; reminiscent of the antics of the New Age Outlaws.
However, Triple H said that with Amore, his role in the company is to be a master on the microphone:
“There’s been guys that have made it that over the course of a couple of years that were constantly on the cut list,” Levesque said. “Enzo Amore, when I brought him in, everyone at the tryout was saying, ‘Get rid of this kid!’ I was like, ‘He’s got a huge personality. If he can annoy us all this bad here, imagine what he can do on TV.’ … Every time he’d get his review, they’d be like, ‘I’d cut him.’ Dusty [Rhodes] and I would be like, ‘Keep him.’ Look at him now. … Is he ever going to make you money from an in-ring performer standpoint? Probably not. But he’s money on the mic.”

Editor’s Note:
While wrestling fans love incredible wrestling matches, I always get excited and dig a character more when they can cut a memorable and entertaining promo. You have to be able to do both to make it in this business.
