10 Wrestlers Who DESTROYED Their Career In A Single Moment

7. Enzo Amore

It was unlikely that Enzo Amore would ever be brought back to WWE after he was released from the company in January 2018.

He was fired after failing to inform WWE of a sexual assault allegation against him, after which he ventured into a hip-hop career. His debut single 'Phoenix' was atrocious. He couldn't keep up with his rancid material, garbling indecipherable "bars" in a voice not unlike Randy Savage, who could at least stick to the beat in his ill-fated attempt at a music side quest.

Enzo was a sh*tty wrestler, but that was never his appeal. He was a promo guy, and was very good at it, but was loathed by many of his peers because he was by several accounts an obnoxious human being who was besotted with himself - like a Hulk Hogan who couldn't even be a Spike Dudley.

If it was unlikely that he'd ever return to WWE after all that, it was impossible after he hijacked Survivor Series 2018 in a publicity stunt. Wearing Bart Simpson's Shelbyville wig and it actually working, Enzo revealed himself and cut his signature promo from a ringside seat before being forcibly ejected from the arena.

After that, he was *Simon Gotch shoot interview voice* double f*cked.

If Enzo had a dime for every time he was successful, he'd have one dime.
