It’s no secret that Enzo Amore has gained heat in – and out of – the ring over the past few months. Some feel that the current Cruiserweight Champion doesn’t deserve his title, or that others are more deserving of it. Whether you like the Certified G, the positive within all of this is that Enzo is getting people talking about 205 Live.

Unfortunately for WWE it appears that it was all too much for Neville who walked out on RAW and saw himself removed from the intro package to 205 Live.
In an interview on Hot Ones with Sean Evans, Chris Jericho discussed trash talkers in WWE, wrestling in Japan compared to the U.S., as well as his real life dislike of Triple H in 2002.
“Triple H. In 2002, we didn’t like each other. I think we were almost pitted against each other in a lot of ways. We had great chemistry, great matches…I just didn’t like him, he didn’t like me, and there was no falseness. Now I love him. Great guy.”

Y2J has never hidden his relationship with The Game from 2002 and has previously explained that the conflict came from Jericho’s time at WCW which saw him trash talk and slate the WWE roster to battle the Monday night war for ratings. So when he moved to WWE, some of the locker room held a grudge towards him and his on-screen persona that was arrogant and cocky.
The main question is: does Enzo have the capability to follow Chris Jericho’s example and work through whatever heat he has? Perhaps Y2J would be kind enough to offer Amore some words of advice? It really does seem as though Jericho (circa 2002) and Amore have a lot in common and it would be extremely smart to use this connection to their advantage.
Opinion:
The other way to think of it is: Enzo doesn’t need any help, he’s still in the company, he’s featured weekly on multiple shows, he’s still champion… he’s doing alright! The main problem that Cruiserweight Champions have faced in the past is: where do they go after losing the title? Most former champions have faded into the background. Enzo needs to ensure that he bounces back to the main roster to secure a solid future for himself in WWE.
