I absolutely hate watching interviews when the interviewer is constantly talking over or interrupting the person they are speaking with. You did none of that. Gave the man a mic and let him say what he needed to say and you didn't say a single word. Kudos to you. Also, is this the full interview or is there more to come?

Eric aka Enzo was at DeFranco’s around the same time I was going there. Joe D and I are around the same age and was a big wrestling fan. Erics a good guy, a fun guy to be around. My memories of him - he’s the guy who when you hang out with him, tells you story about something that you witnessed or were apart of and completely changes the story and always has to one up. Other than that annoying trait a good guy.

It's amazing what he accomplish in a short amount of time without any wrestling experience. Enzo is money in the Mic.
This was a great time to be a wrestlng fan in tampa. The fcw / beginning of nxt era. Watched Rollins, Reigns, Ambrose, Flair, Paige, Zayn, Wyatt and so so many more develop their wwe personas. Awesome. Steve Keirns family ran a great operation.
"Thanks for that introduction Enzo. So my first question is...."
I'd still love to see Enzo and Cass again. I loved them and the one thing that WWE really lacks right now is a great tag team.
Summer 2016 they were so fucking over. Ik he burnt some bridges, but damn his stick work was elite. I got the gift of gab, and the gift to jab; and I'll put that lazy eye back to work!
Love or hate the guy, but Enzo was 🔥 on mic. One of the best new talkers to come into wrestling in the last 10 years. He's not a worker or a high flyer, but he has "It" and he was different. And you need that
I'l never understand how this guy hasn't made his way back onto TV. He's so entertaining.
Say what you want but during the period they were about, they were so over. Was at a Raw one time with a friend during a period when I wasnt really watching WWE and couldnt believe the reaction they got, was mental.

I remember I had stopped watching wrestling around 2012 and one day I came across my dad watching raw in I think 2015 or 2016 and the first thing I came across was Enzo cutting a promo with Big Cass and was immediately a fan of them
The way he describes Charlotte tells you more than enough about the person he is

This man needs to be brought back to the WWE. He's currently feuding with "Shogun" Tony Gun on OVW. But bring him back and give him a manager role to an up and coming wrestler, it might be a hit.
As a fan of pro wrestling all my life enzo is in the top 5 on the mic to ever do it. his size isnt great but you cannot teach what enzo is capable of on a mic he captivates audiences time after time and the only reason he got heat was because he was saying things that are now common place he was simply a few years before his time. The best thing to do now would be to have cass come back as a mute wrecking machine with enzo basically being his Heyman but with a little more interference and spots here and there. Its all there. Heyman has tribal chief well enzo has a 7 foot tall and you cant teach that beast lol id love to see enzo come back

Enzos super cool i heard him on another podcast and dmed him to do some work with him in media and he provided me an opportunity. Awesome genuine guy
Seen Enzo in a few interviews and even though he’s entertaining there is a feeling that he’s exaggerating the truth 😂
Enzo is so animated when he is speaking and he is not that bad of a wrestler and performer he should get another shot in the WWE
Can you imagine him and LA Knight collaborating for solid piece of entertainment?
I lose track of time every time I listen to this guy. Awesome!
Yea guy would be a great manager
A legend in his mind only 😂
Enzo and Cass were VERY popular at one point.
I’d like to see Damian Mizdow and Sandow back in the WWE
Need to bring him back
he should come up with another persona to pitch under a different look maybe cause this guy can fuckin sell man
On the surface, Enzo seems like a likeable dude who’s a really good storyteller and can talk really well for himself. But you can tell pretty easily that most of the stuff he says either didn’t happen or is being hyperbolic about the details to make it seem like his story is crazier than it is
I know Enzo rubbed everyone up the wrong way, but I LOVED his wrestling ability and talk. Would love to see him back tbh.
I wouldn’t be mad if Enzo returned
The fact that he was a white DB is what told him he wasn't going to the NFL?? It wasn't the fact that he played at Salisbury University...a Division III college football team that gets absolutely no attention from NFL scouts?

Even if he didn't make the most of a second shot as an in ring competitor, odds are hed be great as a nxt gm instead of ava.

Funnily if anyone knows how arrogant and shitty someone can be in their first run its hbk who better to guide him? With or without a big guy attached he always had talent none of us can deny that; hes a tip tier mouthpiece for anything you attach him to.
