The former Cruiserweight champion also regularly mentioned “zero dimes” during promos (e.g. "If me and Big Cass had a dime for every time we got beat up as kids, we would have... zero dimes!").

Speaking on the Store Horsemen podcast in 2018, Amore explained how Vince McMahon was not a fan of the phrase but he allowed him to keep using it due to the merchandise money it brought in.

He said (quotes via Wrestle Zone):

“For instance, ‘zero dimes’, you remember that thing? Like, Vince didn’t get it. So I used it in NXT a bunch, when I got to the main roster, Vince was like ‘…what’s that mean?’ So he doesn’t get it but we’re making money off merchandise with it.”
