10 Times WWE Loved Making Your Favourite Wrestlers Cry

6. Enzo Amore

After years of doing a decent job of looking like the total package Sports Entertainer, fair play to Enzo Amore for another excellent bit of acting at the climax of a whodunnit angle that would change his career.

Forced to stand there and absorb the information that his best buddy Big Cass had been secretly beating the sh*t out of him for weeks, Amore saw the footage and was forced to look his former friend in the eye as it unfolded. There was plenty of justification for this credible outpouring of grief.

We'll never know exactly how the 'Smacktalker Skywalker' made it feel so convincing from start to finish. Was it that Amore was so earnest that he was genuinely mourning the end of a beloved tag team run with partner Big Cass? Had he seen the absolute state of the booking plans after the fact? Or did he get some body hair caught on his jewellery and yank it free, live on Raw?

Regardless, he had more sympathy than ever before, which must be why WWE turned him heel the second the Cass series wrapped.
