During a recent interview with The Post and Courier, WWE Superstar Enzo Amore discussed the origins of his name, looking up to Shawn Michaels, Triple H’s influence on him, and more. Here are some highlights from the interview:
On where his name comes from: “My name is an acronym for EA — EA All Day. It’s a persona that I developed over the years in sports as a caricature of myself. On the field, in practice, in the weight room, I was just a character and a personality. If you remember watching The Miz at the time when he was on ‘Real World,’ he was a character known as The Miz. He always wanted to get into sports entertainment as did I. In a very similar likeness, I was EA All Day. So that acronym EA is where Enzo Amore came from.”
On his love for Shawn Michaels: “I lived, ate, breathed, slept Shawn Michaels. I wouldn’t call it pro wrestling back in the day when I was a kid. I just called it Shawn Michaels.”
On his biggest influence on his career: “I would say Triple H is the biggest influence on my career. He’s almost like a father figure. If I slip up or there’s a problem, he lets me know.”
