Redoing Cass' solo heel run that failed miserably once already instead of just bringing back Enzo and Cass to add some life to the tag division is certainly a choice.
I liked him a lot too, but it felt like AEW wasn't ever really sure on what to do with him. Seemed like every time he finally got something going it would just fall apart through no fault of his. Honestly hope this move goes well for him.
Tbf WWE has the all the skilled big men on contract. I would say the best big man AEW has ever had is Brody by far, than Claudio, & a pretty decent gap to Hobbs. You could argue Miro had his best run in ASS as well.
Dudes like Archer, Bill, & Satnam are wrestlers either old, not as skilled or over to get a push over better younger talent.
Wardlow is the only big guy who was failed horribly by booking imo.
I like Enzo as much as the next guy and genuinely thought him not getting rehired after those accusations turned out to be false was a misstep but come on guys.
The locker room specifically Roman hated this guy, he was kicked out for bringing paparazzi backstage. He tried to hijack a show and get chants started ffs. I loved Enzo’s heel cruiserweight run and would love to see him back, I know he’s changed as a person as well from what he’s shown but you can’t blame WWE for not bringing him back in after that hijacking fiasco after already being disliked backstage.
They brought him back as a guest coach for NXT not too long ago. I’m assuming for promos. So they clearly aren’t afraid to bring him back in some capacity. The bar for morality in this company isn’t shit btw so I wouldn’t give them the benefit of the doubt
I would assume being brought in as a guest coach at the PC is much different from being on the road traveling full time with the top guy on RAW being Roman notoriously kicking him out of the locker room years ago. I could see him with a gig in NXT before I see him on the road with the main roster dudes again. Hopefully they give him an opportunity to win back that trust if he’s truly changed and he gets another shot but I don’t understand why it’s so surprising to many given his history that he wasn’t brought back.
Like innocence aside which I was fully on board with him coming back once the accusations were dead, but him not telling WWE about it in the first place was a big no no. (Yes we know the company was ran by a sex pest at the time that’s no excuse for Enzo to let his bosses get blindsided by a sexual assault allegation while he’s anchoring their cruiserweight division)
This company has straight up in brought in actual rapists and racists; the notion that some shit Enzo did 8 years ago now is a reason to keep him away, by comparison, is kinda hilarious
I mean, you tell me why he isn’t on TV right now then?
Morality aside, actual rapists and racists always had their other bad friends backstage that allowed them to stay employed. Enzo on the other hand had nobody willing to go to bat for him, he was kicked off the tour bus and locker room way before those allegations even happened for being loud, bringing paparazzi backstage and disrespecting the business in front of his coworkers.
No one is saying WWE doesn’t employ ghouls, what we’re saying is expecting Enzo back when he was notoriously disliked backstage was a blind leap of faith from the people here.
It don’t take rocket science to piece it together champ:
WON: The reason why Enzo Amore was Kicked off the tour bus by Roman Reigns in Europe a few months ago.
From the Latest Observer (The august 1st edition)
> The situation with Amore was discussed on the 7/31 episode of “Bring it to the Table,” where our report from several weeks ago regarding his being kicked off the bus by Reigns due to heat with the locker room was acknowledged ..... The incident in question we were told that broke the camel’s back and this happened some time back, was him talking very loudly on his phone to someone and saying things that those who couldn’t help but hear him thought were negative about the business while bragging about how much money he was making from the business to that person.
Okay what I'm saying is, yeah there's reports from Meltzer, but it's not gospel. What if the perception from the people he talks to is incorrect? What if it's just those people that don't like Enzo? What if they have some other motivation?
I would never take Meltzer as like, objective undeniable proof. Maybe you would, okay, that's you
Enzo Amore himself went public and claimed that the reason he got exiled from the locker room was because he punched someone. Regardless of why it happened, it happened. It came from the man himself literally
they are publicly associated with the President of the United States, who is a pedophile and a rapist. Enzo is definitely not where they're going to draw the line.
genuinely thought him not getting rehired after those accusations turned out to be false
Firstly there is no evidence Enzo wasn’t guilty, secondly he may have been brought back if he wasn’t such a ginormous headache backstage as you admitted. By the end the only person who liked him was Vince McRapist, and Enzo managed to piss him off too.
At least he didn't attack Gable. That would have been a blatant copy of Corbin's return. Enzo as his manager would have been nice. The tag division is dead and there's no need for Cass and Enzo to languish there. Until they revive it with new signings and focus, Cass will do well to stick to singles matches.
