10 NXT Gimmicks That Are Too Goofy For WWE's Main Roster

4. Enzo Amore

A Jersey Shore reject with a loud mouth, Enzo Amore has been infecting the NXT roster with his trash talking since May of last year and he€™s currently teamed up with Colin Cassady as part of NXT€™s Tag Team Tournament. While the Jersey boy gimmick isn€™t anything new (just check out TNA and see what they€™ve done with the concept,) there€™s just something inherently goofy about Enzo when he plays the role. Maybe he€™s trying a bit too hard, or maybe he€™s the bonafide Jersey dude with an attitude. Yet when he comes out to music entitled €œSAWFT is a Sin,€ and says lines like €œBada boom, realest guy in the room,€ one has to question whether he€™s being genuine, or if he€™s just trying to pull off a bad Andrew Dice Clay impression. Granted, if this is all an act, then Enzo is doing a great job of painting himself to be a Jersey meat head. Hopefully this also means that Enzo will be able to evolve himself beyond the Jersey character and come up with a character that€™s just a bit less relatable than the trash most fans have seen on reality television.
