Listen to your elders, kids!

Enzo Amore Big Cass

Wrestling legend Arn Anderson recently shared his thoughts on why Enzo Amore and Big Cass failed to reach their ceiling in WWE, doing so during one of his Ask Arn Anything podcasts.

Anderson attributed the charismatic duo's demise to not listening to advice from veterans and producers, saying the following of Enzo and Cass, both of whom were released from WWE in 2018:-

"The fact that you don't take guidance from producers that are there to help you, and know a little better than you do what's going to get over, and when you quit listening and just decide you're a bigger star than they are an asset to your success, that's where you start heading downhill."

Arn added that it wasn't long before the Realest Guys in the Room had locker-room heat for their mistakes, leading to them "falling apart in the ring." From there, they developed yet with the office, leading to their "self-destruction" in WWE.

The AEW man cited Cass "fighting us every step of the way" when it came to providing advice for a match with Big Show. Enzo, meanwhile, was chastised for "doing every stupid thing you could do to make a babyface look foolish" in 205 Live matches.

Neither man is fully active in professional wrestling at the moment, though Enzo recently appeared at Karl Anderson and Luke Gallows' Talk'n Shop-a-Mania pay-per-view and teamed with Brian Pillman Jr. to face Ricky Morton and son Kerry in July. Cass, meanwhile, hasn't wrestled since September 2019, having taken time off to deal with mental health issues later that month.
