8	Enzo and Cass are a {{professional wrestling}} tag team consisting of Enzo Amore (born Eric Arndt on December 8, 1986 in Hackensack, [[{{Joisey}} New Jersey]]) and Colin "Big Cass" Cassady (born William Morrissey on August 16, 1987 in New York City), both working for Wrestling/{{WWE}}, formerly under its developmental brand [[Wrestling/{{WWE NXT}} NXT]] before being called up to the main roster.
9
10	Colin Cassady made his first televised FCW appearance in July 2011, portraying the dean of the University of Florida. He wrestled his first televised match on the September 4, 2011 episode of FCW TV for a disqualification loss against Richie Steamboat. Cassady found no immediate success and continued to lose matches for the rest of 2011 and in early 2012. Cassady finally scored his first win on the March 11, 2012 episode of FCW TV by defeating Kenneth Cameron. Cassady's final FCW TV match was broadcast on July 7, 2012 and saw him defeat Aiden English.
11
12	Enzo Amore made his debut on May 22, 2013, where he was quickly defeated by Mason Ryan. Amore went on to form an alliance with Colin Cassady, who had previously also lost in his debut to Mason Ryan, and they labelled themselves "the realest guys in the room". After the feud with Ryan, Amore and Cassady went on to feud with [[Wrestling/RusevAndLana Rusev]], Sylvester Lefort and [[Wrestling/TheRevival Scott Dawson]]. On September 25 episode of NXT, Amore and Cassady participated in a gauntlet match for a future shot at the NXT Tag Team Championship; they started the match, first defeating C.J. Parker and Tyler Breeze, then beating Rusev and Dawson, but fell to their final opponents, the Ascension.
13
14	Amore and Cassady formed an alliance with the debuting Wrestling/{{Carmella}}. The duo had accidentally cost Carmella her hairdressing job as per the storyline, causing her to demand to get a job as a professional wrestler.
15
16	On the April 4, 2016 episode of ''Raw'', Amore and Cassady debuted on the main roster (without Carmella) and confronted Wrestling/TheDudleyBoys. A week later on ''[=SmackDown=]'', Amore and Cassady defeated the Ascension in their main roster debut, in a tournament to determine the number one contenders for the WWE Tag Team Championship. The team went on to defeat the Dudley Boyz on the following week's ''Raw'' in the semi-final of the tag team tournament, advancing them to the finals. In the finals, Enzo and Cass faced the Vaudevillains at ''Payback'', with the match ending in a no contest after Amore suffered a legitimate concussion during the match. At the ''Money in the Bank'' pay-per-view, Enzo and Cass faced Wrestling/TheNewDay, The Vaudevillains and Wrestling/KarlAnderson and [[Wrestling/DrewHankinson Luke Gallows]], in a fatal-4 way tag team match for the WWE Tag Team Championship, but The New Day retained their titles. On the July 4 edition of ''Raw'', Enzo and Cass helped Wrestling/JohnCena from an attack by The Club, involving themselves in the feud between Cena and The Club. As a result, Enzo and Cass teamed with Cena to face The Club in a six-man tag team match at Battleground, which they won. On the July 19 episode of ''[=SmackDown=]'', as part of the 2016 WWE Draft, Enzo and Cass were drafted to ''[[Wrestling/WWERaw Raw]]''.
17
18	On the June 19, 2017 episode of ''Raw'', Enzo and Cass officially broke up after the revelation that Big Cass was Enzo's mystery attacker.
19
20	By June 2018, both Enzo and Cass have been released by WWE. Enzo was released due to mounting backstage heat and accusations of rape (which were eventually dropped due to lack of evidence). Cass was released also due to backstage heat; while it was widely claimed to be solely for [[ItMakesSenseInContext beating up a midget after being told not to]] (although it served to be the beginning of the end of his time in the company), in reality it was due to conflict with producers, being publicly intoxicated during a European tour, getting in a heated political argument backstage with Wrestling/SamiZayn[[note]]Cass is a very vocal supporter of UsefulNotes/DonaldTrump, while Zayn is a staunch liberal activist. While Wrestling/VinceMcMahon isn't likely to punish someone just for agreeing with political beliefs different to that of a coworker, not to mention how Trump one of his closest friends and shares a similar "strong sense of Americana" in his personality, the fact that Cass conducted a public, verbal confrontation with Zayn in the presence of both locker room members and backstage personnel nonetheless did him no favors backstage[[/note]], and another behind-the-scenes incident involving his ex-girlfriend Carmella where he had to be physically separated from her, proving to be the straw that broke the camel's back.
21
22	Enzo is currently a rapper by the name of [=real1=] though has made several appearances on the independent scene, Enzo also making [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=i4uf9H764TM an impromptu appearance]] in the front row of 2018's Wrestling/SurvivorSeries event, where he did his signature "My name is Enzo Amore" bit before being dragged out by security and banned from the Staples Center for the foreseeable future. Big Cass also works in the indies under the name Big Cazz, although he did later change it to Big C. Cass' indie career is currently on hiatus following a stroke he suffered in December of 2018 at a House of Hardcore event. The duo would surprisingly reunite at Ring Of Honor's G1 Supercard on April 6 2019 as [=nZo=] and [=CaZXL=] collectively, calling themselves [=FreeAgentZ=]. Cass is currently employed by Wrestling/AllEliteWrestling under the name "Big Bill" (after a run with Wrestling/ImpactWrestling as "W. Morrissey") where he is a 1-time AEW World Tag Team Champion (with Ricky Starks), while [=nZo=] is expected to debut with Wrestling/{{MLW}}.

24	----
25	!! Bada-boom, realest tropes in the room! '''HOW YA DOIN'!?'''
26
27	[[foldercontrol]]
28
29	[[folder:Tropes applying only to Enzo Amore]]
30	* AbhorrentAdmirer: To Wrestling/{{Carmella}}, mainly because she was obviously not interested in him at all and he refused to take the hint. [[AbortedArc The subplot eventually got dropped.]]
31	** He's also become one to [[Wrestling/RusevAndLana Lana]], much to her husband's displeasure.
32	* AbortedArc: Given his prominent role on ''205 Live'', the news of his release caused a rewrite of large parts of the show on the fly. He got stripped of the Cruiserweight Championship, his Zo Train stable was immediately disbanded, and a planned segment featuring him on the Raw 25 special was scrapped.
33	* AnimeHair: That hair is pretty ridiculous.
34	* ArchEnemy: He's had many archenemies throughout his career with Big Cass (see the tropes applying to Enzo and Cass below), [[spoiler:until the June 19 episode of Raw where Enzo now has his former best friend Big Cass as this.]] Since his arrival on ''205 Live'', [[Wrestling/AdrianNeville Neville]] and Kalisto have become Enzo's number 1 enemies.
35	* BewareTheSillyOnes: One might think that while he was wheelchair-bound, he couldn't do anyone any damage... and yet he was perfectly capable of running over Aiden English's foot.
36	* BigDamnHeroes: Abruptly [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bcICzhl94-4 returned]] after recovering from an injury to come to Big Cass' aid against the Legionnaires.
37	* BoisterousWeakling: Straddles the line. He's not booked as especially ''strong,'' per se - Cass is the muscle of the team and Enzo is well aware of it - but he can take a hit surprisingly well for a smaller guy. The "boisterous" part, however, is a constant - the guy consistently looks and acts like he's been mainlining energy drinks before coming out into public view.
38	* BullyingADragon: Does this to Mason Ryan. Just a reminder, Mason Ryan is 6'3 and 295 pounds.
39	** Most of his feuds turn into this. Hell, he and Cass debuted on the main roster by interrupting the freaking [[Wrestling/TheDudleyBoys Dudley Boys]].
40	* ButtMonkey: Every match has him humiliated at least once in the ring.
41	* CasanovaWannabe: Tried his luck on Carmella to no avail [[note]] Ironically, she and Big Cass became a couple.[[/note]],Lana, who is a married woman, and his sensitivity trainer.
42	* CatchPhrase: ''So many'':
43	** He tends to call his opponents S-A-W-F-T, SAAAAWFT - although this particular phrase has been handed off to Cass, probably because his delivery of it is almost a meme in itself.
44	** "How you doin'?"
45	** "My name is Enzo Amore, and I am a certified G, and a bona fide stud. And you can't. Teach. That. And this right here? This is Big Cass, and he's 7 foot tall. And you can't. Teach. That. Bada boom, realest guys in the room! HOW YOU DOIN'?" With Carmella accompanying them, he adds "And this right here? This is Carmella, and she's hot as hell. And you can't. Teach. That." between Cass' introduction and the "Bada boom".
46	** He's taken to referring to the rival tag team ''du jour'' as "a couple haters" when they insult him. The entire bit usually goes something like "What do we got ova' here? A cuppa hatas? A cuppa hatas?"
47	* ChewToy: Enzo's role in tag matches with Big Cass is to take all of the offence from the opponents, and you can be sure that if Enzo & Cass are losing, it's Enzo taking the fall. Fans have begun joking that Enzo's finishing move is "Tag in Big Cass" because of this.
48	* {{Cloudcuckoolander}}: Not so much on the mic or in the ring, but his backstage promos with Cass occasionally run into this. In one promo, Cass takes over the speaking after a short intro by Enzo. For the rest of the promo, Enzo ponders over something Cass said before having an epiphany in the last 20 seconds and insistently trying to get Cass' attention to point out the fact that he understood the joke.
49	* CrowdChant: His catchphrases got over the crowd quickly: "Ohhhh Enzo Amore!", "How you doin'", "S-A-W-F-T SAWWWWFT!"
50	* EpicFail: His actual attempts to wrestle. He has no real moveset, and his offense mostly consists of "get thrown at people by Cass and then run away"... although he has improved marginally to the point where Cass no longer does ''all'' the work. He's improved even more since coming to 205 Live, but he more or less relies on cheating to win his matches.
51	* {{Expy}}: Enzo's basically a louder, hammier, more ridiculous version of Road Dogg. Introduce self in hammy manner, introduce partner in hammy manner, do so consistently enough that the audience can say your intro with you verbatim, and have the crowd finish off with your catchphrase. It's basically lifted straight out of New Age Outlaws.
52	** Also imagine a smaller version of Wrestling/DiamondDallasPage....after consuming a beer keg full of espresso.
53	* FaceHeelDoubleTurn: [[spoiler:Enzo was always a jerk, but since winning his first championship, he started insulting the cruiserweights while putting himself over and viciously taunting Neville, who had become rather distraught with his loss. Eventually, tempers boiled over, and Enzo became a victim of a NoHoldsBarredBeatdown, despite having a no-contact clause stating that anybody who put their hands on him that night would lose their chance to earn a title shot at him. The next night, he belittled the other cruiserweights and viciously assaulted Neville with a crutch, cementing his heel turn and the audience's sympathy for Neville.]]
54	* FailureHero: [[spoiler:Is unable to even hold his own against, let alone defeat, Cass during their feud (even The Big Show's help hasn't made much of a difference). Furthermore, Enzo's one "victory" over Cass (during a Street Fight) only happened because Cass ended up injuring '''''himself''''' and causing the match to be stopped; Enzo's actual offense was literally nil.]] That being said, this was eventually subverted at ''No Mercy 2017'' when [[spoiler:he managed to defeat Neville [[note]]Albeit via cheating (but even then, still an improvement over Enzo's prior effectiveness against Cass).[[/note]] for the Cruiserweight Championship.]]
55	* FinishingMove: [[MemeticMutation Famous in internet circles]] his page on [[Website/{{Wikipedia}} The Other Wiki]] was once vandalized so that his finishing move was listed as "Tag in Cass". His ''actual'' finishing move isn't much different: a FastballSpecial done from the top rope that he and Cass first called Sky's the Limit (everyone else calls it the Rocket Launcher, since that's what its innovators, Wrestling/TheMidnightExpress, called it) and has since been called Bada Boom Shakalaka. After splitting off from Cass, he adopted [[Wrestling/GailKim Eat Defeat]] as his finisher, which Corey Graves says he calls "[=JawdunZo=]". He has a signature move which is a diving DDT.
56	* FountainOfMemes: Dear Lord, yes.
57	* TheFriendNobodyLikes: Since his arrival to 205 Live, Enzo has made enemies of cruiserweights who didn't think he belongs with them and eventually annoyed everyone to the point they all took Neville's side.
58	* GoneHorriblyWrong: During the duo's first PPV match on the main roster, Enzo was legitimately knocked out cold mere minutes into the match during a sequence where he was to be dumped to the outside through the ropes, but Enzo whiplashed his neck on a rope and splatted to the mat.
59	* GroinAttack: Got on the receiving end of this against Rusev. He managed to dish some out against Neville.
60	* HiddenDepths:
61	** In one promo during the period when his leg was broken, he rants that a place he'd been to wasn't handicapped-accessible and thus were liable.
62	** How many US presidents can you name? Because Enzo can name all 44 of them (as of that promo). Judging by Cass's genuine look of surprise and reaction, this wasn't necessarily rehearsed (or if it was, Cass had no idea).
63	** As shown in this [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XcMYPndeggg promo for the Cruiserweight Classic]], he can be extremely articulate while freerapping at the same time.
64	* HeelFaceTurn: Turned face solely because everyone in the crowd cheered him for his comical MilesGloriosus nature.
65	* HotBlooded: Every single time he speaks.
66	* HotbloodedSideburns: At one point, he sported some huge blond muttonchops.
67	* HypocriticalHumor: Made fun of AJ Styles' soccer mom hair when he has that abomination of a hair.
68	** Also made fun of Kalisto for "dressing like a shmuck" when he dresses like ''that.''
69	* ImprobableHairstyle: He has leopard spots shaved on his head for crying out loud!
70	* ImpossiblyTackyClothes: Whatever outfit he's wearing, it still looks ridiculous on him.
71	* IncomingHam: Once those turntable scratches hit, you've got about 3 seconds until Enzo jumps out, bouncing all over the stage.
72	* InsistentTerminology: More like insistent spelling: He refers to the opposition as soft, spelled "S-A-W-F-T... SAWWWWFT!" Also counts as FunetikAksent.
73	* JerkassHasAPoint: He said so, week after week, in an extremely antagonistic manner, but Enzo wasn't lying when he said that ''205 Live'' became much more popular when he joined the roster, in addition to the Cruiserweights getting two main-event segments in a row on ''Monday Night Raw'' after Enzo won the title.
74	* {{Joisey}}: His home state.
75	* LargeHam: Is pretty much his ''default'' setting.
76	* LimitedWardrobe: Limited, in that just about everything he wears ''will'' have leopard-print somewhere on it, as did his customised wheelchair. Hell, he's even shaved the design into his ''hair''.
77	* LoveTriangle:
78	** Amore entered one with [[SensualSlavs Lana]] after he flirted with her. This of course was a [[HoneyTrap trap all along]] and resulted in Rusev giving him a [[NoHoldsBarredBeatdown brutal beating]].
79	** During his relationship with Wrestling/NiaJax he was supposed to enter one with her and Wrestling/AlexaBliss, but that storyline was canned due to his release.
80	* ManlyTears: On the June 19th, 2017 episode of ''[[Wrestling/WWERaw Raw]]'', Enzo at one point shed a single tear during the revelation that [[spoiler:Big Cass was the one who had assaulted him backstage]].
81	* MeaningfulName: "Amore" is Italian for "love". Given how much he talks about being a stud...
82	* MilesGloriosus
83	-->'''Enzo:''' If me and Cass had a dime for every time we got beat up as a kid, we'd have ''ZERO DIMES!''
84	* MultipleReferencePun: Occasionally refers to himself as "Muscles Marinara", and that he'll "give [you] the sauce."
85	* MyNameIsInigoMontoya: How he introduces himself to the crowd...[[LargeHAM WHILE]] [[NOIndoorVoice SCREAMING]]!
86	* NakedPeopleAreFunny: A late 2016 promo had Enzo walk around backstage naked after getting locked out of the locker room. After processing the fact, he's rather comfortable with it until he runs into Lana. Which prompts a feud with Rusev who is rather upset that Enzo is naked in front of his wife.
87	* TheNapoleon: He's actually 5'9, which is tall for an average person, but small in WWE standards. Partnering with Cass does not help matters, which makes him look like a midget whenever they are together. Nevertheless, he manages to tower over most of the 205 roster.
88	* NoIndoorVoice: Enzo has two volume settings: loud and ''louder.''
89	* NoHoldsBarredBeatdown: [[spoiler:He was a target of one after winning the Cruiserweight Championship and annoying the entire 205 Live roster, being demolished by Neville, Wrestling/BraunStrowman and the rest of the cruiserweights. The next night, he unleashed one on Neville, ruthlessly beating him up with a crutch.]]
90	* OddFriendship: Out of the ring, he's pretty close to Wrestling/FinnBalor and Wrestling/SamoaJoe. Not a trio you'd think would have a lot in common.
91	* OhCrap: Has this expression whenever he finds himself cornered without Big Cass to haul his ass out of trouble.
92	* PhraseCatcher: "Shut up, Enzo."
93	* PluckyComicRelief: Serves the role of bringing lighthearted comedy segments and hilarious promos (even comedy wrestling matches) to NXT. This role of being the humorous breather between other storylines and matches was particularly evident at ''Takeover 2''.
94	* PoliticallyIncorrectHero: He was pretty sexist in NXT vignettes with himself, Cass, and Carmella, though it should be noted that Big Cass immediately called him out for it and Enzo's been portrayed as an idiot every time he does something sexist.
95	* PunctuatedForEmphasis: And you can't. Teach. That.
96	* PutOnABus:
97	** Due to breaking his leg, though he showed up in backstage segments.
98	** In 2018, Enzo was fired from WWE amid rape allegations (to be more exact, he was released because he failed to inform the company about said allegations, though Enzo claimed he found out when WWE did).
99	* TheReasonYouSuckSpeech:
100	** There's a million and one things he can think to say about Wrestling/TheAscension, but the absolute worst he can think of to say, is that they're The Ascension, in reference to their status as THE jobbers of WWE.
101	** Wrestling/TheMiz gave him a vicious one. Many see Enzo as a very similar to Miz backstage reputation wise.
102	** [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OTFveCg0_4A On October 2, 2017, Enzo dissed the entire Cruiserweight Division, one by one, when they tried to intimidate him]].
103	* RickyMorton: Enzo's role in the pairing was basically to get his ass kicked for long enough to build momentum for a hot tag for Cass to come in and destroy everybody, then hit their FastballSpecial FinishingMove for Enzo to get the final pin. It worked because of the size dynamic (Enzo's slightly below average build compared to Cass's basketball player-like frame), and because Enzo's mostly billed as a damage tank that can absorb a lot of punishment for his size and keep going.
104	* SmallNameBigEgo: In the ring or not, Enzo thinks he's way bigger of a deal than he actually is, and this became especially apparent when he won the Cruiserweight Title in 2017. No more than 2 1/2 hours after winning the championship, he declared himself the best Cruiserweight Champion of all time even though he kicked [[Wrestling/AdrianNeville Neville]] in the [[GroinAttack nads]] to win the belt.
105	* SuspiciouslySpecificDenial: He once claimed that he's never had a girlfriend because he 'refuses to commit himself to failure', not because, by his own admission, he treats women like dirt.
106	* TinyGuyHugeGirl: Describes his temporary storyline with Nia Jax before he was released from the company.
107	* TooDumbToLive:
108	** The training vignettes from his early NXT days show that he refused to take Carmella seriously as a potential superstar, even when she kept handing him his arse.
109	** He also refused to accept that Carmella is not interested in him at all, despite all his advances being rebuffed (sometimes violently).
110	** He also falls for Lana's seduction, despite it being an obvious trap.
111	** He explained to Big Show that he didn't have a plan before his match with Cass. Unsurprisingly, he got squashed by Cass and Show had to come out and save him.
112	** He pissed off the entire 205 Live locker room by belittling them and exaggerating his own accomplishments. Obviously, none of them wanted to protect Enzo from Neville and they all beat him up later.
113	* TruthInTelevision: Actually knew Colin Cassady from his teenage years; they first met on a basketball court in New York City.
114	* UndyingLoyalty: [[spoiler:Even when Big Cass was revealed as being behind multiple assaults of Enzo backstage, Enzo refused to throw away their friendship and instead tried to make amends. Unfortunately, Cass showed that the undying loyalty was only one-sided, and he attacked Enzo again after a fake apology]].
115	* UnsportsmanlikeGloating: Would not shut up after their victory with Wrestling/TheBar, to the point that fans chanted "Thank you Sheamus!" after Sheamus knocked him out with a Brogue Kick.
116	* VerbalTic: "How ya doin'"
117	[[/folder]]
118
119	[[folder:Tropes applying only to Big Cass]]
120	* ArchEnemy: [[spoiler:After calling Enzo "dead weight" on the June 19, 2017 episode of Raw. Cass seems to make a new archenemy in Enzo.]]
121	** Wrestling/BigShow after Great Balls Of Fire.
122	** Wrestling/DanielBryan after Wrestling/{{Wrestling/Wrestlemania}} 34.
123	* BeardOfEvil: [[spoiler: as a heel]]
124	* BerserkButton: Harm Enzo in any way and you will be on the receiving end of a beatdown, just like Aiden English when he threw Enzo through the ropes ala Payback.
125	* BigApplesauce: From Queens. You can hear it a bit in his accent when he speaks.
126	* BilingualBonus: His original name in the independent circuit, Big Cazz, meant Big Dick in Italian. He later changed it to Big C. Now [=CaZXL=] in his reunion with Enzo (nZo) in Ring Of Honor.
127	* BlatantLies: He and Enzo made a number of videos about them training Carmella and getting her a tryout, all of which ended with Enzo looking like an idiot. Cass always promised to not post them online (and always did). It took Enzo a while to catch on, but he got there in the end.
128	%%* TheBigGuy
129	%%* CallBack: The plot in which Cass trying to find who attacked Enzo [[spoiler:before revealing he is the culprit all along]] is similar to Triple H to Shawn Michaels in 2002 and Kane to Undertaker in 2010.
130	* CatchPhrase: "How you doin'?" and "SAWFT."
131	** "I'm gonna..." ''[shakes like he can't get the word out]'' "SPELL IT OUT FOR YA!"
132	** Since being called to the main roster: "There's only...ONE WORD, TO DESCRIBE YOU! And I'm gonna spell. It. Out. For ya."
133	* CloudcuckoolandersMinder: For Enzo.
134	* CigarChomper: His first gimmick as the Dean of University of Florida.
135	* CrowdChant: Post heel turn. "CASS-HOLE!"
136	* DavidVsGoliath: He towers nearly all his enemies. [[spoiler: He's also the Goliath against his former friend Enzo. But inverted against The Big Show [[note]]Who took umbrage to Cass trying to frame him and sending Enzo over the DespairEventHorizon like that.[[/note]], where Cass is finally the David for once.]]
137	** He wrestle against Wrestling/DanielBryan at Backlash 2018 and Wrestling/MoneyInTheBank 2018.
138	%%* DeadpanSnarker
139	* DeathFromAbove: His SignatureMove, the Empire Elbow.
140	* DuckSeasonRabbitSeason: Pulls one off on Aiden English, though how intentional it was is debatable.
141	* {{Expy}}: Fans see similarities between him and Test: both tall guys with similar features and movesets, right down to their finishers, the Big Boot.
142	* EvilFeelsGood: [[spoiler:After getting fed up with Enzo's antics, Cass admitted to attacking Enzo on the June 19 episode of Raw, claiming that he felt good attacking Enzo simply because he was dead weight preventing him from becoming a champion.]]
143	* FaceHeelTurn: [[spoiler:Cass was revealed to have been Enzo's mystery attacker all along since the ''Raw'' before Extreme Rules]].
144	* FalseFriend: [[spoiler:According to Cass, he was this to Enzo for years out of pity, since (again, according to Cass) no one likes Enzo]].
145	* FastballSpecial: He throws Enzo off the top rope in their finisher, the Rocket Launcher. He's also known to bodyslam Enzo on top of opponents.
146	* FinishingMove: The Empire Elbow (Jumping Elbow Drop), Big Boot and East River Crossing (sitout swinging side slam).
147	* TheGiant: 7 foot tall[[note]]Actually [=6'11''=][[/note]], and you "can't teach that." Although, in a subversion of the usual trope, he's far and away the better wrestler of his pairing with Enzo, for what that's worth.
148	* HateSink: [[spoiler:Give him credit: His gleeful, HopeCrusher-style betrayal of Enzo seems to be making Cass quite effective at earning the audience's disgust.]]
149	* HeightInsult: His last feud in WWE had him mocking Wrestling/BryanDanielson for his height. This led to him beating an actual midget dressed as D.Bry on an episode of ''[[Wrestling/WWESmackdown Smackdown Live!]]''. However, what should have been just a hit became a full-blown assault, and this, alongside his rude behavior and mistreatment of ex-girlfriend Wrestling/{{Carmella}}, led to his release after being put down by Bryan at ''Wrestling/{{Backlash}} 2018''.
150	* HiddenDepths: He once got into a sing off with Aiden English...and actually sang really well.
151	* InsaneTrollLogic: Told Corey Graves that, if it weren't for him, the breakup and feud with Enzo never would have happened...when if he didn't want the breakup and feud, he could have just ''not sneak attacked Enzo''.
152	* LaserGuidedKarma: [[spoiler:Deliberately injured Big Show's arm to hinder any more [=WMDs=], Chokeslams, etc.... but soon injured his own leg (thus hindering his own Big Boot as well as his general mobility) in an accident during a Street Fight match with Enzo.]]
153	* LargeHam: Not as much as Enzo, but he's still pretty hammy.
154	%%* NonIdleRich
155	* NoSell: Not so much in singles matches, but when he's teaming with Enzo, Cass will pull this.
156	* NotSoAboveItAll: Sure, he looks like the more sensible one, but he's more than happy to participate in Enzo's weirdness.
157	* OnlyKnownByTheirNickname: His canon ring name, Colin Cassady, started to disappear in early 2015 or so. Since being called up to the main card from NXT, he has been exclusively referred to as "Cass" or "Big Cass". His first name (Colin) and even his full last name (Cassady) have seemingly been totally discarded, to the point where Lillian Garcia got in trouble with brass for announcing him in his RAW debut match as "Colin Cassady" ''at a house show.'' Apparently, they take enforcing this trope very seriously.
158	%%* OnlySaneMan: He is this to Enzo.
159	* PhraseCatcher: "And this right here? This is Big Cass. And he's 7 foot tall, and you can't. Teach. That."
160	* PunctuatedForEmphasis: "There's only one word to describe you and I'm gonna Spell! It! Out! For! Ya!" "S-A-W-F-T! SAWFT!"
161	* TheReasonYouSuckSpeech: On June 19, 2017, he gave one of the harshest ones ever seen on ''[[Wrestling/WWERaw Raw]]'' to [[spoiler:Enzo Amore]]. It was so bad that [[spoiler:Enzo actually cried (not so much because of the insults themselves, but because he was heartbroken by Cass' betrayal)]].
162	* ShoutOut: During ''NXT Takeover 2'', Big Cass called for the bucket in the same way Wrestling/TheDudleyBoys would call for the table. Which is [[HilariousInHindsight ironic]] as the first feud they had on the main roster was against the Dudleys.
163	* TheStraightMan: Serves as this to Enzo Amore. The fact that someone as hammy as him qualifies shows just how over-the-top Enzo is.
164	* SurprisinglyRealisticOutcome: [[spoiler:Sure, Corey, publicly exposing Cass was awesome and all... But now you're right next to Enzo on Cass's list, for snitching.]]
165	* UnderwearOfPower
166	* WhamEpisode: [[spoiler:His betrayal toward Enzo on the June 19, 2017 episode of ''Raw'']].
167	* WhamLine: "YOU'RE DAMN RIGHT I DID IT!" [[spoiler:after Corey Graves proved that Cass faked the backstage attacks on himself and accused Cass of attacking Enzo]].
168	* WoundedGazelleGambit: [[spoiler:In an effort to throw suspicion off himself after attacking Enzo Amore backstage, Cass staged an attack on himself to make it look like whoever targeted Enzo was targeting him as well. Unfortunately for him, he was caught in the act the second time by a security camera, footage from which was shown by Corey Graves]].
169	[[/folder]]
170
171	[[folder:Tropes applying to both Enzo and Cass]]
172	* ArchEnemy: Sylvester Lefort, Blake and Murphy, Wrestling/TheRevival, [[Wrestling/BulletClub The Club]]... they've had a few.
173	* BeautyBrainsAndBrawn: During their NXT run, they were paired with Carmella as their valet. Enzo was the brains (or the mouth), Cass was the muscle (brawn) and Carmella was the beauty.
174	* BigGuyLittleGuy: Not that Enzo's small, but Cass is 7 foot tall, [[Main/VerbalTic and you can't. Teach. That.]]
175	* BoastfulRap: Their current theme, [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uYJDjsZH-ic "SAWFT Is a Sin"]], is one of these.
176	* BrainsAndBrawn: Describes their time after NXT as Carmella had started having singles matches. Cass was the brawn and Enzo was the Brains known for his insults on the mic.
177	* TheCavalry: For Cena in his feud with The Club, with no forewarning.
178	* ChildhoodFriends: Have been friends since they met on a New York basketball court as teenagers.
179	* {{Expy}}: Of New Age Outlaws. The similarity to them is so striking that fans are guessing that they might get the same treatment as the NAO.[[note]]They did. Enzo and Cass started out as heels, but turned face after they got over the crowd quickly due to their antics. Then Cass turned heel on Enzo, just like how Gunn turned on Road Dogg, resulting in a feud between the two. Time will tell if Cass will get a championship opportunity after this.[[/note]]
180	* HeterosexualLifePartner: Didn't really get close until they met each other again in NXT. They had instantly clicked with each other after realizing that they met before and are always seen together after that [[spoiler: until Cass' inevitable heel turn]]
181	* LongList: Sometimes utilize these in their promos, while the crowd says "How you doin'?" between each of the items on the list. Examples include Cass naming things that he likes raw, and another in which he rattled off a list of well-known pairs of best friends. On the July 4th, 2016 episode of Monday Night Raw, Enzo dissed the Social Outcasts by claiming that every President in United States history would be ashamed of the segment they were a part of. He named every President, in order, off the top of his head.
182	* RedOniBlueOni: Hyperactive and boastful Enzo and reserved and thoughtful Cass.
183	%%* StraightManAndWiseGuy
184	%%* ThoseTwoGuys
185	* TrashTalk: Even more so than most wrestlers, they basically run on {{Catch Phrase}}s and their absurdist put-downs of their opponents.
186	* TrueCompanions: [[spoiler:Subverted. After Cass [[FaceHeelTurn was revealed as Enzo's mystery attacker]] on the June 19th, 2017 episode of ''Raw'', he and Enzo appeared to make up and reunite the next week, with a heartfelt embrace and Enzo even telling Cass that [[HeterosexualLifePartners he loves him]]. Then Cass attacked Enzo on the stage as they left the ring together]].
187	* TwoGuysAndAGirl: With Carmella.
188	* {{Unperson}}: Post-release for Enzo. It says a lot about his actions when their announcement of his release didn't include the standard "future endeavors" follow-up statement. On top of removing his profile from the WWE website, they also didn't list him on their alumni page (even '''''Wrestling/CMPunk''''' is on that page), and even removed him from their truck graphics -- many of which haven't been updated from as far as 2012. He's well past the Wrestling/CMPunk treatment at this point and on the fast track to being Wrestling/HulkHogan'd.
189	** It says something that, given Hulk's existence has started to be acknowledged by the WWE again that he's shot past being Hogan'd and has reached the point where he's being '''''Wrestling/ChrisBenoit'd'''''.
190	** Cass' announcement didn't include the "future endeavors" statement, either. He seems to be heading the same way Enzo has gone.
191	* WeUsedToBeFriends: [[spoiler: After Cass betrayed Enzo, Enzo took the betrayal seriously, even cutting a promo telling him that he was a seven foot catchphrase that he wrote. Cass would savagely beat him in a one-sided squash match after that.]]
