3 reasons WWE should hire Enzo Amore back and 3 reasons why they shouldn't

The controversial superstar was cleared of assault charges, but does that mean he could still find a home in WWE?

Enzo Amore.

Just reading his name likely sparked a great deal of emotion within you. If you're one of his very vocal supporters, you probably felt a bit angry about his recent dismissal by the WWE. If on the other hand, you are one of his detractors, you probably felt a great deal of derision.

The point is, no one is neutral on the subject of Enzo Amore. Either you love him or you hate him, you want to see him succeed or you want to see him fail.

That kind of polarizing heat is what many wrestling companies desire in their talent, but Amore has taken things to a new extreme. His boisterous, braggadocio behavior has landed him in hot water with fans, his peers, and--worst of all--WWE management.

The last straw seemed to come when Enzo was accused of assault by a former acquaintance. The WWE has a zero-tolerance policy on the subject of domestic abuse but normally does not fire Superstars until they have been proven guilty in a court of law. Enzo's case was special because he knew of the charges but failed to inform his bosses at WWE of it.

So, now that Enzo has been formally cleared of the charges, one begs the question; Should WWE hire him back, or just cut their losses?

Here are three reasons WWE should hire Enzo back, and three they should do no such thing.

Should re-hire: Undeniable Charisma

When Enzo Amore showed up at a WWE try out, he was the only applicant who had ZERO wrestling experience. Most people would not have even bothered to show up under those circumstances, but not only did Enzo brave the try out he actually landed a job with the company.

Let that sink in. A federation that is known to be the lifetime goal of many wrestlers hired a man with no experience based purely on the weight of his personality.

Simply put, Enzo Amore can be a draw, either as heel or face, and the WWE could make a lot of money off of him.

Should not Re-hire: Poor ring skills

Sure, Enzo Amore can talk the talk. But in the opinion of many fans and critics, he cannot walk the walk.

Enzo's in-ring skills are bare, barely adequate under the best of circumstances. Men like AJ Styles and Neville can help make him look good and hide his many flaws, but when he works with other talents it becomes glaringly obvious that he's not ready to be on the main roster or possibly even NXT. Take this video of him vs. Ceasaro, for example.

Enzo needs to polish his in-ring skills if he wants to work for WWE again.

Should re-hire: Brings attitude to the cruiserweight division

Enzo Amore's presence in 205 Live definitely livens the place up some. With so many 'boring wrestling guys' like TJP and Brian Kendrick, his personality and chutzpah served to make the division more interesting than it had been since its inception.

205 Live needs Enzo back, and Enzo could learn a lot from the men of 205 Live.

Should not re-hire: The locker room hates him

Have you ever had a job you really liked, but there was always 'that guy?' That guy who was obnoxious, and belligerent, and made your workday a living hell?

Well, in the WWE 'that guy' goes by the name of Enzo Amore. He was kicked out of the Raw locker room by his fellow talent, who grew tired of his sophomoric antics and arrogant attitude. If he came back to the company, nothing says he wouldn't go back to his same old antics.

Should re-hire: Big Cass needs the help... Desperately

One of the biggest attractions of the tag team division in NXT was Enzo and Cass. As a unit, they help smooth out each other's rough edges and make the whole stronger than the sum of its parts.

Since Big Cass has been on his own he has struggled to resonate with the fans and grow into his new role. By reuniting the team, WWE could help market the awkward and off-putting Cass while also giving Enzo a somewhat more skilled partner to work the bulk of their matches.

Should not re-hire: WWE doesn't need the controversy

At the end of the day, Enzo Amore's charisma and ability to resonate with the audience don't make up for his failings in other areas, particularly with regards to some bad social media decisions and public behaviour.

While Amore was over with the WWE Universe, he certainly wasn't as popular as the Rock or even other polarizing figures like John Cena. With all of the baggage that goes along with Amore, it just isn't worth WWE's trouble to re-hire him now or ever.
