Ever since criminal charges were dropped against Enzo Amore due to a lack of evidence last
month, the former WWE Cruiserweight Champion - or hip hop legend Real1 as he’s known
to us rap fans (GREAT DESCRIPTION OF JOHN MAYER’S MUSICAL GENRE, COACHMAN!) - has
since broken his four months of media silence with numerous interviews, Instagram posts
and debut singles about possessing a “consensual penis”
And now that Enzo’s firebombed all bridges back to WWE, he can be rather candid in those
aforementioned interviews, like his recent appearance on the Store Horsemen podcast - where
he revealed the consensual penises don’t just stop in instant classic rap lyrics; they’re
also scrawled on the Performance Center walls courtesy of him - which Amore’s former trainers
Billy Gunn and Bill DeMott weren’t too fond of.
“So I walk in, Bill is pissing in my ear – gimme a f****** mouthful about this bulls***:
‘We got corporations walking in and out here, Nike is gonna be here next week and
you’re drawing dicks on the wall.” And it wasn’t just Gunn in NXT that Enzo
garnered backstage heat from, as - amongst reportedly many others - he also angered Triple
H once on the main roster. Just before the Miz promo segment that began
to sow the seeds for Amore’s heel turn last year - which Enzo didn’t know was the plan
at the time - he recalls being furious backstage about having to read a scripted promo, as
he had already written a babyface one. “I’m backstage losing my s***, and Hunter
comes up to me and was like ‘you say what’s on that script if you wanna keep your job.’
And they didn’t tell me I was turning heel so I get it, but at the time and in the moment,
I was like f*** this man I’m quitting.” But are we be about to see the wrestling return
of the bona fide stud?
Last week independent promotion House of Glory tweeted:
“BREAKING:@real1 will be LIVE at House of Glory’s biggest event of the year “High
Intensity 7” August 17th at the NYC Arena!” But hold your collective consensual horses,
as that tweet has since been deleted, and none of what I just said is actually happening.
According to WrestlingNews.co, the certified G’s lawyer Tom Cargill has said Enzo will
not be performing at the House of Glory show. But at this rate, he’ll still wrestle again
before current WWE Universal Champion Brock Lesnar.
After UFC President Dana White told TMZ Lesnar’s WWE contract was expiring at the end of the
Summer, and he’s interested in fighting Jon Jones, the latest Wrestling Observer Newsletter
is reporting that - while it’s not yet decided on - it’s currently under discussion that
Brock will show up at the end of the UFC 226 show on the 7th July, where he’d challenge
the winner of the Stipe Miocic vs Daniel Cormier fight for the heavyweight title. That match
would then take place on the 30th December in Las Vegas, as Lesnar still needs to re-enter
the USADA testing pool and serve the rest of his 2016 drug test failure suspension.
The Observer goes onto say that Lesnar vs Reigns is the current “working plan for
the SummerSlam main event, and that it would be the last fight Lesnar is now contracted
for”. However, Dave Meltzer points out this is not a “done deal” and Lesnar “is
not confirmed by Vince McMahon for SummerSlam, or any dates for that matter… the green
light hasn’t been given for whatever reason.” It’s almost like we should all give up on
WWE...
...and start following WrestleTalk’s latest venture Crap Gimmick Wrestling!
Over the last year of WrestleRamble episodes, hundreds of crap gimmicks have been sent in
by you, the SWAFT Nation - which is where Luke and I are in search of the best rubbish
wrestling character ideas. Some of them are genuinely too good, a lot of others are way
too bad. But occasionally we stumble upon greatness. I’m talking Beastmaster, I’m
talking Chris P. Bacon. I’m not talking Fishmonger, because that’s a terrible gimmick.
And now we’re very proud to announce SWAFT Nation member and illustrator Lewis Tillet
will be bringing these Crappiest of Gimmicks to life - starting with CGW headliner WrestleBot
1000. Look at him, in all his crappy glory. How does he even wrestle while wearing a steel-reinforced
cardboard box?! Make sure to tune into WrestleRamble tomorrow
and every Saturday for all your Crap Gimmick needs.
