Legend In Favor Of Former WWE Star Enzo Amore Joining AEW

WWE/AEW

The legendary Jim Ross is very much in favor of AEW bringing in Enzo Amore for a reunion with his former WWE tag partner Big Bill.

Amore and Big Bill (then called Big Cass) became a very popular tag team in NXT before they were called up to the WWE main roster in 2016.

They were split up in 2017, and were then both separately released in 2018.

Since then, both have continued wrestling, although Big Bill has done it on the bigger stage of AEW since 2022.

Bill recently spoke very highly of Amore and said that he “really hopes” he gets another shot – something that Jim Ross, who had worked with them in WWE NXT, clearly agrees with.

On Grilling JR, he said:

“Yeah. Of course. I think so. Why not? You don’t turn your back on talented people if they wanna come and contribute to your company.

“Enzo brings a little baggage, but he’s colorful, he’s talented. The upside – he’s not gonna be a big investment to get on the roster – but over the long haul, he could certainly earn a lot of money.

“That look was very unique. He is talented as hell. He played a little college football, he’s an athlete, and a good athlete. So why not give him a shot? You never know what’s gonna hit.

“Look at how he outfitted himself. I think that’s important. He’s thinking, he’s trying to reinvent and be different.

“I’ve been a fan of Big Bill’s for a long time. I made fun of his name backstage to his face. I said, ‘Man, they really gave you a hell of a nickname, right?’ – Big. Big Bill. But I guess it’s working.

“He’s another guy – I said this one time in a meeting down in NXT years and years ago – you don’t find athletic seven-footers every day. So if it takes you a little longer to coach him up, go coach him up. Because once you get to your destination after coaching him up, you’ve got something special.

“Seven feet tall, close to 300 pounds, athletic, he doesn’t have two left feet, he doesn’t stumble around like a Clydesdale. He’s good.

“That’s another guy – you just don’t turn your back on talented people. You get your creative people to figure out a way. Look at that guy’s look. And look is so special. It’s a look business that we’re in. If that’s not a good look, I don’t know what is.

“I think he’s got a bright future, as a single. But that could come from being tag partners with Enzo. You could evolve into that. I think that’s something to think about.

“I like adding new to the roster. New, motivated, self-motivated talents that are looking for that hot tag back into the game. Enzo would fit that description”.
