In relatively quick fashion, Enzo Amore has become one of the most over faces on the main roster. Alongside Big Cass, Enzo is a riot on the microphone. Catchphrases like, 'How You Doing?' and 'S.A.W.F.T' have caught on immediately, fans love chanting along with the colourful duo and revelling in their nonsense.

Incredibly, when he was coming up through the ranks of WWE in development, Amore was told that he should be careful not to waste promo material by saying too much. Watch any Enzo segment on Raw, and the guy does say a lot during his promos, but that's part of his charm.

Ignoring the negative comments, Enzo told CBS Sports that he used the legendary 'American Dream' Dusty Rhodes as his sounding board. Rhodes didn't outright tell Amore if he was pleased or not during his promo classes, but he did offer a simple nod to let the young wrestler know if he was happy.

Enzo's logic was that Dusty would let a wrestler know if they weren't any good at talking, so he felt he must have been doing something right.
