There is absolutely nothing redeeming about Enzo other than he can talk, and even then his shit gets old fast.

At least with 123 Kid/Syxx/X-Pac he could wrestle.

I think you're letting the fact that you personally find him abrasive - and, granted, apparently the entire locker room too - cloud your perspective. Draxal's right when they say that Enzo is more over than the vast majority of the roster.

Enzo looks good getting his ass kicked and sells well which is more than you can say for most who would be managers or even wrestlers.

Mind slipped on Orton. He was a COMPLETE monster in his 20s, but seems to have cleaned up like 75% of his shit as an adult now

Enzo's not going to 205 Live. He's more likely to be doing nothing, or be unemployed, after the Cass feud is finally over

He has value as a guy who opens up every house show he's on with a promo, and then beating a heel jobber

Nah, he straight up sucks in the ring. He spent four years in development in Florida, FOUR, and this is the best he can bring to the ring? C'mon.

So he's nothing more than a jobber?

I think Enzo should be a front facing manager for someone. Being the mouth piece that can bump really well. He shouldn't be wrestling in matches.

Pretty much. Hell, that's what they should have done with Cass and it would have been the rocket strapped to his back. Now he'll fade faster than Shad Gaspard.
 
People on Wreddit have some weird theories and logic around this E&C thing. Mostly that Enzo should leave and pursue a career in Hollywood because of how charismatic he is.

After breaking up Enzo and Cass, WWE better not break up the Authors Of Pain on the main roster. That is a tag team meant to be a tag team.

All of those big pushes and TV time Gran Metalik gets. WWE has a great history of handling lucha wrestlers.

Except the opposite of what I just said.

For all the praise NXT gets compared to the main roster, what they are doing to the Andrade Almas/La Sombra is the worst misuse of talent.

How can anyone take 1 look at Enzo and think "This dude should be in movies"
He is the weirdist, ugliest looking freak I've ever seen. That can be a positive in Wrestling but is a negative in Hollywood

So the current Mae Young Classic roster :

Kay Lee Ray
Ayesha Raymond
Kairi Sane
Tessa Blanchard
Abbey Laith
Taynara Conti
Jazzy Gabert
Kavita Devi
Toni Storm
Princesa Sugehit
Lacey Evans
Sarah Logan
Bianca Blai
Piper Niven
Vanessa Borne
Dakota Kai
Marti Belle
Mercedes Martinez

That's still like 18 of 32. They start taping tonight. Are there any big names left to drop?
 
If you're wondering why Full Sail's been quiet recently

Dave said:
Speaking of the 7/12 tapings, one person there noted to us a strange almost backfire of sorts revolving around Mauro Ranallo. At the tapings, the crowd was mostly quiet again. We’re told in some places if fans started to make noise, other fans would tell them to be quiet because the building is so small and Ranallo talks so loud that if there’s no crowd noise, you can hear the commentary, and a lot of the live fans want to hear the commentary
 
That seems like the attitude. I find it pretty unbelievable and difficult to understand.
Protestant Work Ethic runs really really deep into the country's history.

I'm coming at a 133% chance that they're lying and don't really like Trump.
They are.. there is the probability that a not insignificant portion of their supporters are lying about their support.

But coincidentally, today polling has come out that he has lost some support in WWC.

The overlap between people who cried healthcare is socialism and people who support Trump who promised coverage for everyone is also oddly fascinating.
They thought it meant for them and not those "other people".
 
Mauro just can't contain his hype.

We're about 5 years away from all Simpsons references being replaced by Spongebob references.
I got nothin' against spongey but this is a downgrade akin to going from Austin/Rock to Cena.

Reigns totally took the Cena spot of top honcho.

He's going to be getting others addicted to Clash of Clans 2.
Reigns beat Taker and assumed his role of locker room veteran and judge of wrestler's court.

I'm grabbing that brass ring, y'all. Shared the news late last night that you can now watch wrasslin' on the Switch to no response...
Hey we got the same Donkey Kong.
Ah those struggle days pre amiibo.

Remember when American Alpha were super over and the most exciting tag team in the company?

Remember when The Revival were putting on dope matches on the regular?

/never leave NXT

And then people realized they we're generic vanilla wrestling personas? I'd be curious to re-watch their match with Revival and see who was carrying who through that. I think the fact Revival have managed to have a string of great matches before the call up speaks volumes to them.
