How long did the New Age Outlaws do that bit for? I seem to remember never tiring of it, with the caveat that I was in middle school at the time.

I think they only stopped when they broke up.

Also the NAO did cool stuff before settling into their rote routine like destroying The Road Warriors, hitting the Headbangers with their own boombox and splitting them open, throwing Cactus Jack and Chainsaw Charlie off the side of the stage in a dumpster, beating the crap out of the Rock N Roll Express, etc. All Enzo and Cass have done is get beaten up for the most part.

It's fun to watch the Rock get away with poo poo that nobody else can get away with in a WWE ring just because he's the Rock. He knows they need him more than he needs them and he makes the most of it. I liked the story that everyone backstage flipped out when he addressed the cosplayers that one time. I hope that was true.

That was amazing. He stops mid-promo, mid-sentence, to talk to a Hulk Hogan cosplayer and I think the Gawker trial was still going on at the time. Also the show went like 30+ minutes without a single commercial cause of him.

Typically the smaller man in the tag team are usually more talented in the ring. Thank you Enzo for breaking the mold. Enzo turning on Big Cass will be hilarious though because that's the only way it can go in WWE. Maybe Enzo being Big Cass' manager and hype man but who has a manager these days except the biggest star WWE has at the moment..

Also, Big Show getting 'this is awesome' chants kind of blows my mind. What year is this and who's the president? Oh...

Believe it or not, but Enzo is still better than Big Cass in the ring. Enzo might gently caress up majorly now and then like his Cesaro match, but Cass is legitimately clumsy and has hosed up his solo finisher several times to the point he has the elbow drop as a secondary finisher. Enzo can at least do a top rope DDT that looks okay.

Enzo also knows how to sell, but they never teach tall guys that.

I think Meltzer is spot on with the thing about AJ winning, Orton changing his mind, Shane telling AJ too bad.

Part of me wonders if they're happy with Bray enough to add Harper to the match to eat the pin.

Why are they so afraid of having another AJ/Cena match at Wrestlemania? Cena's been on fire since he had the US Title and it kind of makes me wish he'd do that again.

Just throw em in the ic title match, it's not a singles match but no one wants to see him as a prop to watch Shane jump off a thing onto another thing and do a kickflip onto his balls or something

They can still do the Shane screws AJ angle and just have Shane use a proxy. From NXT. Who happens to be Nakamura.

There were two good hours of raw since the brand split in 2016. Like someone said earlier raw has been watchable lately (say, for 2017) but it's damning with faint praise as it's still not great but at least it's not Enzo cucking rusev while new Day is on day 58296216 of their reign and Sasha and Charlotte on an endless 4 week loop

Apparently they planned what they wanna do for the Rumble and Mania and worked backwards from that and now they're building up to the conclusions they want at Mania.

I think that's why Raw feels more watchable because it, a LITTLE BIT like SmackDown, feels it's building a little bit of momentum towards something each weak instead of endlessly spinning its wheels with Rollins/Roman vs. Owens/Jericho matches.

Enzo and Cass' biggest problem is that they're just too green. Send them back down to NXT for a few years where they belong so they can work this whole 'wrestling' thing out.

Rather than sending them down, they could turn them heel and have Enzo in the manager role. It would give Cass a chance to do a bit more in the ring than "take the hot tag", and Enzo could expand his promo range somewhat (and building up to a catchphrase but then not doing it is good heel heat).

Enzo's been in developmental for like 4 years, and Cass even longer. If they can't work, then either they simply aren't capable of it, or WWE's developmental system is god awful.

i'll bet cass could cut a pretty decent promo if they took the enzanchor off his neck. he's got that brooklyn tough guy accent and seems relatively coherent. Enzo has a really funny one liner sometimes (that I bet half the crowd doesn't get) but in general it's just marble-mouthed garbage

Boredom is always counter-revolutionary. Always.
They could also just not have them do a 5-minute promo every week but hey, three hours. Right now E&C and New Day both feel like SNL recurring characters that have gone on way too long.
