6 Questions from WWE No Mercy and RAW that most need answering

#4 When did it become a crime to have mic skills?

Speaking the truth.
Speaking the truth.

The whole Enzo Amore storyline has been thoroughly confusing and basically amounts to the fact that the WWE likes to punish stars for actually having talent. With his 'cheap' Cruiserweight Championship victory at No Mercy and his subsequent celebration on RAW, Enzo has become yet another heel that essentially tells the truth and gets hated for it.

It's not like this is even a kayfabe matter either. Amore is receiving more and more criticism from the fans for the way he doesn't seem to take the business seriously enough. What worked for him and Cass down on NXT has alienated Enzo from many of his former fans, and like many other examples on today's WWE product, the fault lies with the writers.

In one sense you can kind of appreciate where the dissenters are coming from. If you're a fan of the Cruiserweight division and 205 Live, in particular, Enzo suddenly being parachuted into the show and becoming to new champion feels like a slap in the face to all those who have been working hard each week.

The problem with this argument is that all Enzo said on Monday night was true. He has made the division relevant for the first time since the Cruiserweight Classic tournament. Not only was the championship defended on the main card at No Mercy, but the championship celebration segment actually main evented RAW. Who on that roster could have had any chance of achieving this?

Yes, Enzo might not have the in-ring talent as most of the 205 Live roster, but what good is mesmerising high-flying action if nobody is watching? Enzo should be delivering his comments as an all-out babyface, challenging the rest of the group to do better and help the division main event RAW. Instead, we have this strange dynamic between Neville and Enzo where we are supposed to be backing the former champ but basically agreeing with the new one.
