The following are highlights from a Q&A featuring WWE Superstar Enzo Amore with AM New York:
What makes you and Big Cass such a good team?
The fact that we donโt need to call ourselves a team. Weโre just homies. We strike a chord with one another. Itโs an organic chemistry. We want to rip each otherโs hair out sometimes, but he knows that I got his back and vice versa. And thatโs always the way itโs been since I met the guy, since we started collaborating on in-ring efforts in NXT, because I would say weโve been a team long before we ever had a match together.
How are you getting prepared for โSummerSlamโ?
Preparation? Watching TV, sitting on my couch, drinking diet soda, eatinโ pizza, shootinโ texts out, takinโ pictures for the โgram, hanginโ in different cities every weekend โ the rock-star lifestyle. No, Iโm playinโ bro. โSummerSlamโ is one of the career highlights for me, if not one of my lifetime achievements. Get to go home, me and Big Cass. Itโs just an honor to compete in New York, New Jersey, the tri-state area, where weโre from. I have so much roots there, so much family. My 86-year-old grandma will be there, my parents, my mother and my father, itโs just one of the most humbling experiences you can ever imagine. For a kid who grew up going to [Madison Square] Garden and going to Izod Center, and just watching some of the greats and some of the greatest matches in the history of the business which took place right up there in New York. Thatโs what we strive for right now as competitors on โMonday Night Raw.โ
As a fan, is there a match youโre excited to see at โSummerSlamโ?
Oh, for sure man. Seth Rollins and Finn Bรกlor. Finn Bรกlor is one of the hardest-working human beings Iโve ever met in the business that Iโm currently in. For the fans that are unfamiliar with him, Iโm sure they will get familiar with him rather quickly. Nonetheless, this guy has spent 17 years of his life in this business, wrestling and getting in rings all around the globe, all around the country, literally sleeping in the back of pickup trucks, making his way city to city, learning how to do what it is he does right now. And for him to come out on โMonday Night Rawโ and beat the odds as a smaller competitor, thatโs just somebody I would have looked up to when I was a kid. Thatโs like the Shawn Michaels of the world that I idolized growing up. For me, I learned a lot from him down in NXT. I love watching his success and his in-ring ability and I look forward to seeing him on one of the grandest stages at SummerSlam this year in Brooklyn.
