Enzo Amore grew up as a massive fan of the ‘Heartbreak Kid’ Shawn Michaels. Shawn Michaels returned for the January 9th, 2017 episode of Monday Night RAW. Enzo had the opportunity to work with his idol and in an interview with WWE.com he spoke about how much it meant to him.

How much the segment with HBK meant to him:
“Being able to work with him and speak with him and conduct business with him, goes above and beyond any aspirations that I had when I got into WWE. You can fantasize about those moments, but when they become a reality it’s surreal. But then the next thing happens, you’re hopping in an airplane and going to the next city, and sometimes you don’t get the opportunity to sit back and look at some of the things you’ve accomplished. That will always be a milestone memory and I tried, in that moment with Shawn, to be able to realize how surreal it was and just have a greater understanding of what that moment meant for me”
If Michaels gave him any advice:
“Oh yeah, all day. They tell you that you never want to meet your heroes. Well, I’m so glad I got an opportunity to meet Shawn Michaels, because he didn’t let any of my expectations down. He’s the coolest guy ever. He’s the G.O.A.T. in the ring and being able to speak with him for hours about the business, about times he had, about in-ring work, about the match that Big Cass had, being able to crotch chop in the ring with him, it was just so surreal. Crazy!”
