And Still I rise
From the ashes like a phoenix
Middle finger to the sky grippin' my...
Consensual penis
Eric Arndt (born on December 8th, 1986), better known as Enzo Amore to fans of Professional Wrestling, is a man who coasted entirely on his luck and bravado to get to where he is today. He is a talentless mentally stunted douchebag and recently life has started smacking him around because karma is a bitch. Everything has only gone downhill for Enzo and his reputation ever since he burst into the wrestling world with much fanfare.
He is largely considered to have been a waste of potential.
Part 1: Enzo the Gimmick.
When Enzo Amore and his tag team partner Colin "Big Cass" Cassidy showed up to WWE NXT with their "Hot as Hell" manager Carmella, the fans ate it up. The teams entire Shtick was being from the New Jersey-NYC area and being "the realest in the room".
Enzo was entertaining on the mic to be certain, spouting off catchphrases like he was going to be the next Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson. Whether that be calling his and Cass' enemies SAWFT or getting the crowd to chant along with "And you Can't. Teach. That."
Enzo Amore on screen was a lovable douchebag guido who could lay down sick burns on his adversaries. The problem is that him being a douchecanoe isn't just a character, he's really good at playing one on TV because he actually is one.
Part 2: Eric, the Actual Douchebag & Human Trainwreck
(Simon Gotch reveals behind the scenes stories of Enzo being a lolcow)
Eric Anthony Arndt was born in Hackensack, New Jersey to German-American parents and played football in high school and college. The website North Jersey describes Eric as "a stereotypical cocky, Jersey Shore loudmouth" and claims that the character is an exaggerated version of him. Somewhat reminiscent of Ahuviya Harel except instead of an Italian pretending to be hispanic Enzo is a German pretending to be an Italian but with slightly more effort.
In 2012 he got lucky. He was training in a gym owned by a man named Joe DeMarco in Wyckoff, New Jersey when he learned that DeMarco was also training with Triple H (Paul Levesque, Vince McMahon's son-in-law) and it was through DeMarco that Eric sent a video of himself cutting a wrestling promo and training in the gym.
Triple H was impressed and gave Eric a tryout, and for the next few years he would be in the developmental system. He was with the company for around 6 years and over time gained a reputation as a bumbling idiot who thought he was God's gift to the WWE.
The video at the start of this section is a good explanation of everything wrong with him, but here's a tl;dr of it.
-Had no actual wrestling training
-Would lie about being able to take bumps properly
-Broke his own ankle trying to counter a wristlock
-Didn't know Manny Fernandez, his "fave wrestler" Dusty Rhodes old tag partner
-Lied about how Triple H found him, claiming the older wrestler "found [the video] online"
-Frequently cuts out inconvenient details from stories to make himself look better. Such as the time he told everyone in the locker room how he got effortlessly into some women's pants, leaving out that they were 300 pounds and had bad hygiene.
And so on, and so forth.
He's also gone on record claiming he's the "hardest worker" in spite of not knowing a damn thing, part of a pattern of shitting all over people and burning bridges. And had even publicly broke off his real life friendship with Cass over the big man not being able to finish one of their WWE matches against each other due to a knee injury.
This however doesn't stop him from claiming all of this is "exaggerated" and that you need to be a "good person" to make it in the WWE like he did, trying to shut up critics.
Part 2.5: Rape Allegation, Social Media Absence, and later Return
On January 22nd this year it came out that the Phoenix Police Department had Enzo under investigation for an alleged incident of sexual assault that happened in October 2017.
Enzo denied that he knew about the investigation, as well as the charges themselves.

As it turns out he was not guilty of sexual assault and the charges were dropped. To celebrate he came back to social media and released a frankly amazing music video titled "Phoenix" in which he shits all over "Armchair Detective" Wrestling fans and the woman who Accused him
This song led to people mocking him even more for it's cringe lyrics including but not limited to the one about his "Consensual Penis" and not "asking for an ounce of sorrow". And references to 'fake news' and #MeToo, and somehow connecting this to the current WWE Women's Revolution, claiming his wrongful accusation counted as gender persecution against men.
Recently he showed up on the Stone Cold Steve Austin podcast and when asked if WWE has reached out to him since his firing and claimed he blocked every phone number with their area code and goes on to complain about how much physical pain he's in from injuries right now.
Originally he had announced he would be going on the indy wrestling scene, booking an appearance in House of Glory along with launching his music carer, but later that same month he decided to retire from pro wrestling to become a "Renaissance Man" and go into stand-up comedy, music, acting and even filmmaking. Saying he wanted to be like Adam Sandler.
Part 3: Fans Who Somehow Still Like Him

http://archive.fo/DyAIX
In spite of him being a lying fuck-up every waking moment of his life, there are still fans out there who are begging WWE to bring him back because they miss his performances on the mic. They are all over the comment section of videos about him on youtube and are exemplified best by the above petition.
In Conclusion
Enzo Amore is a deluded narcissistic pretend guido who lies and omits details of his life he doesn't like to remember and coasted on luck until some other loser accused him of rape and revealed his true colours as an insecure emotional wreck who thinks he's vastly more talented and hard-working than he actually is.

, and it was evident that he was nothing more than a talking head. Cass was pretty entertaining (I'd have loved to see him tag with Matt Morgan - Jesus, that could be a fun tag team), but Enzo was utter garbage.
