Chris Jericho is a fan of EnzoĀ Amore moving to the 205 Live roster, and joining the current WWE Cruāiserweight division. Y2J is a former WCW Cruiserweight Division, so his opinion carries a little extra weight here (no pun intended.)
In a new interview with , Jericho spoke highly of Enzo's "bulletproof" personality, aܫnd says he can bring a lot to the purple brand.
āHeās one of those guys that personality-wise heās very bulletproof because heās so over-the-top and heās got such a good rap. But where else is he gonna go in the headlāininš°g position, in the heavyweight division on RAW? I think it was a great move because I donāt know what else you would do with him if you didnāt stick him in there unless he was just gonna be a manager or a commentator. He fits that (205 Live) vibe size-wise and more importantly heās gonna bring eyeballs and attention, and people will actually pay attention to the matches that heās in.ā
205 Live has struggled to find a hook for viewership on the WWE Network, even though there have been several stellar matches--most of them involving the current Cruiserweight Champion Neville, one of the best wrestlers on the roster, regardless of size. Neville might be up against his greatest challenge in the ring; he must make EnzoĀ Amore, a man who allegedly broke his own leg in NXTš while trying to counter a wristlock, look like a credible wrestler.
Jericho says he's told Neville as much in the past; in cases such as this, it's upź¦” to the better worker to get thź§e other guy over.
āI told Neville this months ago, I said, āThereās gonna come a time when youāre gonna have to make him look good, thatās the job of guys like you anād me. It doesn't matter if heās good. Thatās not his responsibility, thatās yours now.ā Neš„villeās gonna have to do anything he can to make that match work the same way that all the great workers in time do that.ā
Ā It appears as though EnzoĀ is being groomed as thše next challenger to Neville's Cruiserweight Title.
