Enzo Amore has never been shy about owning his past, and one of the most infamous stories from his WWE developmental days still follows him years later.
During a conversation with D-Von Dudley, where he discussed his early time in NXT, Enzo revisited the now-legendary moment when he crossed a line in promo class under the watchful eye of Dusty Rhodes a moment he genuinely believed was creative genius at the time.
The incident took place during a promo class when Baron Corbin was repeatedly cutting the same promo while Dusty went around the room asking for feedback. Enzo explained that the session dragged on so long that he felt there was nothing left to add verbally. When Dusty finally called on him, Enzo decided to respond in a way he thought would demonstrate timing, delivery, and crowd reaction rather than critique.
Enzo said the reaction in the room was instant and intense, but it wasnt the one he expected. Rather than laughing it off or appreciating the performance aspect, Dusty immediately shut it down in a way only Dusty Rhodes could.
At the time, Enzo admitted he was genuinely confused by the response. In his mind, he thought he had delivered something memorable that got a reaction from everyone in the room exactly what wrestling promos are supposed to do.
While Dusty clearly didnt see it that way, Enzo noted that not everyone in the room was upset. According to him, at least one future world champion couldnt stop laughing.
Looking back, Enzo acknowledged that the moment became a defining story attached to his name, and he now understands why it didnt land the way he hoped. He also admitted that his mindset at the time believing he didnt need promo class likely played a role in how the situation unfolded.
Years later, the story remains a snapshot of Enzo Amores confidence, creativity, and occasional misjudgment during his rise through WWEs system and a reminder of how unforgiving developmental could be under legends like Dusty Rhodes.
