Former WWE Superstar Simon Gotch, now known as Simon Grimm on the independents, recently participated in a shoot interview for rfvideo.com. Among other things, Gotch talked about the recently maligned Enzo Amore,
– According to Gotch, Amore is confident to the detriment of himself and those around him.
Gotch said: “I will say, to his credit, he believes his own bulls–t. He is 100% confident in himself to his detriment and the detriment of others around him. He’s an example of someone who has no excuse to not know wrestling, but he doesn’t know wrestling.”
He continued: “He broke his own leg trying to counter a wristlock. Yeah, when he was in the wheelchair on NXT TV, that’s how it happened. He broke his own leg trying to counter a wristlock. He blamed it on the canvas being loose.”
– Gotch suggested that WWE failed to capitalize on Amore’s concussion like he thinks they should have.
“I’m like, ‘well, they wanted us to be heels and we weren’t getting enough heat. We’re going to get heat for this.’ And the immediate thing we do, the next night, we job out to Big Cass on RAW. I think we did it three times in a row. We did like RAW, Main Event, and SmackDown. I may be mistaken, but it was three times within a couple of weeks.”
