Uh, Enzo Amore Just Might Be in Trouble

So, of course you've probably heard by now that Enzo Amore has mythical "heat" in the locker room, and that his standing as having deserved said heat corroborated by an exotic dancer in the Buffalo area. Normally, I'd take stuff like this as a grain of salt except that for one, if this dude is going into strip clubs and treating the workers there like shit, he's probably the guy the rumor-millers say he is, and two, it's not like he's threatening anyone's spot. He's tiny and he can't work, plus it's not like he belongs to traditionally maligned minority groups. A lot of smoke is wafting from his general direction, and not all of it is marijuana smoke, if you catch my drift.

Well, as fate turns out, Amore hasn't learned any life lessons since being DJ Jazzy Jeff'd out of the company bus by Roman "Uncle Phil" Reigns. According to Dave Meltzer on Observer Radio, transcribed by @gothgirlkin on Twitter, Amore's bragging has gotten more irritating to his peers. One told him to "shut the fuck up," and another allegedly was close to taking a swing at him. Management seemed to have noticed, as he's been exiled to 205 Live, where no one in the company cares about you except for the actual workers on that brand. Of course, his braggadocio extended to his weekend travails at the Floyd Mayweather/Conor McGregor fight, where he posted a video of his $10,000 ticket to Instagram, along with selfies with disinterested looking celebrities. And again, a peer of his in Kevin Owens couldn't help but razz him on Twitter:

Normally, one would look at the above as a playful rib, but since no one knows what percentage of the locker room hates him, well, it could be construed part of open season on Amore. Of course, one could ask if it's fair that he's receiving such one-sided abuse from reporters, and absent the accusations from the exotic dancer, I might be inclined to agree. Amore's talents have a place in WWE, if not as a wrestler, then as a manager at least. He can gab, and that gift is rare at least on his level. But it's also more than fair to ask if every other wrestler's opinion is just as valid as what Amore can bring to the table. The sad thing is that the opinions of his peers won't matter if he contributes to the churn and is able to visibly make his boss money. Smell that? That's capitalism, baby.

But Amore's worth to WWE keeps diminishing. One could look at his move to 205 Live as a way to boost that brand, but others could see it as a way to keep him out of the way of the "real" shows. Either way, if he starts losing his reaction there, he might end up showing up at whatever promotion Pat Buck is running nowadays by year's end, especially since RAW's resident Trumpkin Big Cass is on the shelf for nine months at least, scuttling any hypothetical plans for a hotshot reunion. It's a shame because the dude is entertaining, and ego bothers people a lot more than it really should. That being said, it's your responsibility to know your workplace, especially your coworkers. If they're thinking about swinging at you, especially in an environment where that thing isn't punished unless you lose the fight, maybe you might want some self-introspection before you lose your dream job. Or not. I don't know, this all could be dirtsheet talk blown out of proportion. But still, the signs are present that Amore might be a bit too full of himself for his own good.
