10 WWE Superstars Who Sabotaged Their Own Careers
10. More Than Just A Cuppa Haterz
They say that to make it as a professional wrestler you need at least two of three things: talent, personality and discipline.
Eric Arndt had no wrestling experience prior to signing with NXT, and turned out to have no wrestling talent or discipline either: the man couldn’t work and didn’t want to.
What he had in spades was personality, having been hired on the strength of a video of himself working out and running his mouth. Paired with the not-at-all-seven-foot-tall Big Cass, Enzo Amore proved charismatic enough to get his team’s entrance over, if nothing else.
Trouble is, he was trouble. Enzo refused to dial his brash gimmick down after shows, becoming so aggravating that his fellow NXT trainees wanted nothing to do with him. If anything, as an even smaller fish in an even larger pond, the main roster was less forgiving: he was kicked out of the RAW locker room almost immediately.
Amore was first suspended, then fired when sexual assault allegations against him became public in January 2018, having neglected to tell the office that he was being investigated for allegedly raping a woman. Enzo denied everything, and four months later the police closed the file citing a lack of evidence.
Unfortunately, the man was such a godawful heat magnet backstage that no one could think of a single good reason to rehire him. Since his attention-seeking shoot appearance at last year’s Survivor Series saw him removed from the building, it’s not likely that’s going to change any time soon.
