18 Things We Learned From Enzo & Big Cass On The Steve Austin Show
13. Being A Gigantic Shawn Michaels Mark
Enzo talks about how he earned the nickname "EA All Day" while working out with famed trainer and coach Joe DeFranco due to everyone at the gym knowing he wanted to be a pro wrestler. Austin asks when he first became a fan, and Enzo says his first memories of the business were around the time Shawn Michaels was getting his first push prior to winning the Royal Rumble.
Enzo's parents didn't want him watching too much wrestling so he thought the Saturday morning show was the only one that aired until people started filling him in on the other programs. He says as a kid he worshiped HBK and that "Shawn Michaels was life" to him.
When The Heartbreak Kid won the Rumble and Pamela Anderson - a "prime piece of real estate" - celebrated with him, he thought he was the coolest dude on Earth and wanted to be him.
For a project in school every student was asked to create a large cardboard paper doll of what they wanted to be when they grew up, and they were all connected and strung throughout the halls. Right in the middle of all the police officers, doctors and firefighters was Enzo dressed as Shawn Michaels, with "sexy boy" and "boytoy" written on him, with yarn for a mullet and chest hair.
His parents were called to the school and they were embarrassed by his display, never mind the fact that he had been superkicking kids on the playground.
