it is very very funny to read this in his slow promo voice.

Nakamura/Ziggler was actually very very good tonight. I was kinda dreading it after their first match but it's like they asked for a second chance to do a good one then really went for it.

actually if Barons whole thing was talking about minions in his plodding promo voice he'd be my favorite wrestler

Luke Harper has been given poo poo all to do since the Wyatt/Orton feud and has just been dangling in the breeze.

Even so, when he appears on TV he still gets "Let's go Harper!' chants.

Luke Harper is very good. They should do something with him.

I know it's a semantics thing, but seems odd for Bryan to strip Carmella of the contract. He should have made her DEFEND IT in a 5 person ladder match. Like, she won the match within the rules, so Bryan should have made her defend the case within the rules. Edge won the briefcase from Kennedy defending it one time, and I think it's been defended other times.

He has a big boot and an elbow. Those are Cass's moves.

Edit- Sorry his finisher was throwing Enzo. Okay if Cass's wins come from running to the back and grabbing a resisting Enzo and tossing him into whoever I'm all in.

Look up how a guy named Shad Gaspard did after his tag team broke up.

Cass is probably in a very slightly better position than Shad was, but only because Raw being 3 hours means they need big people to go out there and kill time.

Yes, we have feathers--but the muscles of men.
I would say Cass has a better chance than Titus or Shad because despite being part of a broken up tag team he is white and large, like Baron Corbin and Braun Strowman.

It's almost as if the point of a tag team is to fill out the weak spots of individual wrestlers so that they can both get over instead of floundering. I really don't know why Vince loves breaking up tag teams so much.

STOP DOING HEROIN
I remember when Finn got hurt and vacated the Universal title, they threw Cass in that 4-way match for a new champ just to test the waters. They put him in the ring with Kevin Owens, Seth Rollins and Roman Reigns, and he still managed to do nothing interesting or look remotely ready for a top spot.

Five time FCW Champion...of my heart.
From what I saw on NXT during the times when Big Cass was out there alone because Enzo nearly killed himself, he's actually pretty good on the mic. A lot of his natural charisma that he showed on his promo Monday is lost on being a catchphrase junkie.

He could probably make a solid midcard run.

Of course WWE will try to push him as a main eventer, he'll flounder when he can't keep up and he'll be in TNA as Large Cassidy.

I remember when Finn got hurt and vacated the Universal Title and then when he came back he was in the Title scene briefly before not being on TV for two weeks for no reason and then feuding with the Drifter.

I forget if it was Alvarez or Meltzer who suggested it first, but I agree that they should just stick Enzo on 205 Live because why the gently caress not. It might make the crowd wake up a bit for the purple ropes business.

Also, Titus O'Neal is somehow making me more interested in 205 Live as well. Stop being a loving holdout Tozawa and feel the POWAH

I think a Tozawa hype man is a fine idea, but Titus is so bad at it.

How is Titus bad at everything? And don't say fatherhood, because I don't believe good fatherhood involves kissing your children on the mouth.

I legit think they forget the long term. Short term it can be some neat segments, Enzo crying was good, Cass's promo was pretty good. The feeling of betrayal and emotions of a friendship ending a strong emotions to evoke.

But yeah the long term effects should be more strongly considered.
