10 MORE Wrestlers In Situations That Scared The Sh*t Out Of Them

7. A Real(1) Fear Of Heights

Enzo Amore's final few months in WWE were a mess of atrocious booking, contradictory internal messaging and extremely bad banter, and all three were as locked into Big Cass' SummerSlam stinker with The Big Show as 'The Certified G' himself was in the company's poxy shark cage.

Babyface Amore being suspended like a piece of sh*t above...the bigger piece of sh*t that was the match itself made no sense, but little about the way Enzo was used as a singles star did. The cage was a gimmick reserved for heels that required subduing in order for the babyface to win a fair fight. Here, it was Big Cass feeling the benefit of his former partner's forced elevation, and even when the New Jersey jerk escaped, he was booked to stumble headfirst into a big boot anyway.

Why, then, would WWE choose a stipulation that ended with Enzo stripping half-naked and greasing himself up to slip down into a sh*tkicking? Because he was apparently afraid of heights. "Ha ha ha, go get that over, PAL", he was presumably told. Just like his subversive 205 Live run, he made an astonishingly admirable fist of it.
