Yeah, but "It's okay, he's SUPPOSED to be an annoying idiot!" doesn't actually make him any less annoying. If anything, it makes him worse, because I know there are people who consciously CHOSE to make him that much of a shitheel rather than him just not knowing any better.

He's a comic relief character. That's kinda just the territory.

Granted, it does bring to mind Miz's "Go Away" heat where his character was meant to be annoying but he was so legitimately annoying -- and generally bad -- that nobody actually wanted to see him fight despite drawing a huge crowd reaction. (His promo work has gotten better over the years, but his in-ring is still awful.)

And honestly, Enzo can't really credibly sell anything, apart from song lyrics or catchphrases the crowd can chant along with. Oh, and poop jokes. When they have him try to tell a story that's even remotely complex he starts to stumble over it and the crowd tunes out anyway, because they're just waiting for him to finish and get to the point where they can spell out SAWFT.

You know, a lot of WWE stars would KILL for that kind of a crowd reaction, though. Roman Reigns, for one.
