Former Champion doubted Enzo Amore's wrestling knowledge during their first meeting in WWE (Exclusive) 

It's safe to say that Enzo Amore is quite a polarizing figure. While his outspoken nature has got him many detractors, wrestling fans have also praised the former WWE star's charisma and microphone skills.

He has particularly attracted a lot of criticism for his in-ring work throughout his career. A former WWE star has now revealed that even he doubted Amore's know-how about the business when they first met.

Aiden English, aka Drama King Matt, appeared on Sportskeeda Wrestling's UnSKripted with Dr. Chris Featherstone, and the former NXT Tag Team Champion spoke about his relationship with Enzo Amore.

English recalled starting his WWE career alongside Enzo Amore, as they were both signed around the same time in 2012. Additionally, they were together in Pittsburgh for routine WWE medical tests.

English admitted that he envisioned hating Amore during their first meeting and felt the former NXT star didn't know much about wrestling.

"It's funny. We actually started our WWE careers, kind of, together. So when I got signed, whenever anybody gets signed, they fly them to Pittsburgh, where the medical department is kind of headquartered, and they got through a physical. They do a drug test, the kind of usual medical check-ups, and I went with him. So I flew in from Chicago. He flew in from New York, and we met. We had to share cars and stuff like that. And, so that was the first time I ever met him, and I remember at first thinking I would freaking hate him," recalled Aiden English.

Amore sent a typical Jersey Shore-inspired promo that didn't create a favorable impression on Aiden English. Instead, Enzo came across as a 'spunky' Jersey Shore character who, to English, didn't seem like a wrestling fan at all.

We always got along: Aiden English on his relationship with Enzo Amore

Aiden English's perception of Enzo Amore changed after they rode together for almost nine hours. Amore attended WWE shows when he grew up and even had photos to prove his love for wrestling. Aiden stated that Amore was a big admirer of Shawn Michaels. While he might not have wrestled on the independent circuit prior to his WWE signing, the former Cruiserweight Champion was as passionate about the business as other long-time performers.

Aiden added that he shared a solid relationship with Enzo Amore as they always got along despite his former partner Simon Gotch's heated real-life beef with him:

"Enzo, I mean, I got along. I feel like someone is going to reference the infamous Simon Gotch shoots on Enzo Amore. That's how I always get tied into these Enzo Amore questions. On YouTube, that's been viewed 8 million times. So, me and Enzo always had an excellent working relationship," English said.

Aiden English spoke on various topics during the engaging 30-minute Q&A session, including his honest opinions on the 'affair' with Lana, Miro's AEW signing, and more.
