Russo says he was always an Enzo Amore “mark”, dating back to when people first started telling him to watch NXT. After watching NXT, the only person who impressed him was Amore. For this reason, he was dissapointed to see the recent allegations against Amore.
Russo informs that he spoke to WWE employee, Terry Taylor months ago and told him that he was a big fan of Amore. Taylor responded by saying that people certainly weren’t making it easy on Amore in the locker room. Amore was just a gym rat – not a lifelong wrestling fan with dreams of becoming a wrestler. For this reason he faced some resentment from the other performers.
Russo could tell right away that Amore wasn’t going to fit into the “WWE system”, because he looked like someone who wasn’t going to be a “yes man” or a robot, simply agreeing to everything thrown his way. Russo adds that those types of personalities often accompany huge stars, and it’s too bad that WWE seems to have an issue with making stars these days.
Russo says he’d rather have 1 Enzo Amore than 1000 Sami Zayns.
Bolin points out that Amore if facing some severe accusations, but the accuser’s story doesn’t add up. Her body language was not convincing to him, and she’s changed her story multiple times now. Bolin feels that we need to give Amore the benefit of the doubt right now until he’s proven guilty.
Russo tends to agree with that, but he also points out that these types of terrible things happen from time to time. He’s had four women, three from WWE and one from WCW come up to him over the years with stories about rape, and sexual abuse in the business. He told all four of those women that they better have their ducks in a row in they intend to go public with those accusations.
