Enzo Amore is now known as nZo and it’s been years since he’s appeared on WWE programming. However, during his run with the company the thing that he was most known for was his promo skills.
Back in 2017 fans saw nZo face off against his former tag team partner Big Cass at Great Balls of Fire. During a recent interview with Inside The Ropes the former WWE Cruiserweight Champion recalled a meeting he had with Vince McMahon where he had to put up a fight to cut the promo he wanted to cut leading up to the match.
“Me vs. Big Cass at Great Balls of Fire. The entire timeline [of our feud] lined up with that song [That’s Life by Frank Sinatra]. Riding high in April, shot down in May. But I know I’m going to change that tune when I’m back on top, back on top of June and if nothing’s working comes this year, July, I’m going to roll myself up in a big ball and die.”
“It’s like me and Cass break up. We’re riding high in April in WrestleMania, shot down in May. I’m found backstage, but I know I’m going to change that tune when I’m back on top of a big show in June. Listen, July, you know me and Cass wrestling Great Balls of Fire.”
“So that’s what I used in the promo and I had to fight tooth and nail with Vince McMahon, who handed me the sh*tty promo. This writer handed me a sh*tty promo. I marched into Vince’s office at Great Balls of Fire and I said, I ain’t f*cking saying this. This is what I want to f*cking say. This is what I want to f*cking say. He didn’t like it. He didn’t want to do it. I fought again. I fought again. And Vince said, okay. And I went out there and I delivered what I believe to be one of my best promos ever.”
While talking about a potential WWE return nZo went on to explain why he isn’t really eager to join back up with World Wrestling Entertainment.
“Oh, man, it’s funny, man. You know, I’m really happy and looking at where my life is and where my career has went and every wrestling signing that I go to, you know, I get great fans that I owe the world to. So, I’m in a good place right now. I think Cass is in a great place right now, and I don’t know if I’d be eager to enter a go f*ck yourself environment. So, you know, like you got to be ready to do that and if the opportunity called, like would I field the phone call like. I don’t even know.”
