This past November, former WWE star Enzo Amore stole headlines when he crashed the Survivor Series pay-per-view (PPV) from the Staples Center. Amore purchased a ticket in the front rows of the show and sat there in secret for the first few matches of the night. He later got up on his chair and started to rile up the crowd, causing a scene before event security escorted him out.
Amore had recently released a song about his ex-girlfriend and WWE star Liv Morgan. Many believed it was all a publicity stunt to help promote his new music career. However, it turns out Amore had other motivations for his actions. He recently held an appearance in New York, near WWE’s Madison Square Garden show, and answered some questions. Of course, one of those questions was to explain his reasoning for his Survivor Series fiasco.
The former Cruiserweight Champion revealed that he did it because he knew it would anger Vince McMahon, and wanted to prove he could beat “The Chairman Of The Board” at his own game:
“Why did I do it? It had nothing to do with my music. I’ll tell you why I did it – cause I knew for a fact Vince McMahon would be heated more than anything in the world – but he’d respect the f*ck out of it. That’s why I did it.
“Because it was about one person, and that was it. Because I proved to him that I could beat him at his own game of statistics and numbers, and this that and the other, and I don’t even work for your company. I broke no laws, I bought a ticket.”
