Awesome / Enzo and Cass

Go To

  • During a feud with the Vaudevillains in their NXT days, Enzo had been shelved for the better part of nine months with a broken leg, leaving Cass to fly solo. One of their interactions was a singing contest between Cass and Aiden English, the latter of whom believing the "seven-foot tall" Colin Cassady to be just as far from cultured and refined as Enzo is. Electing to go first - and show off in the process - Aiden delivers a burst of opera, as befitting the Vaudevillains "old-school gentlemanly way of life/wrestling" gimmick. Initially, Cass chokes up his response. But, when he suddenly bursts into a barrage of well-performed mockery aimed squarely at Aiden to the tune of Danny Boy..?
    Cass: Oh, Aiden boy...! Your pipes, your pipes are failing...!
  • The first match of the night on the October 24, 2016 edition of Raw was Enzo vs. Karl Anderson. Naturally, Enzo came out with Cass accompanying him, and when they got in the ring, started their standard intro...when suddenly Enzo's microphone went haywire and stopped working. Anderson and his tag-team partner, Luke Gallows, came out and revealed that they had bribed a sound technician to cut off Enzo and Cass's microphones to stop them from mouthing off as they always do. What do Enzo and Cass do about it? Amp up the crowd and do their intro anyway.
  • And not to be outdone in the Hidden Depths department, Enzo Amore once went on a Long List and named every single US President in order to the amaze of everyone, even Cass was surprised!
  • Enzo and Cass saving John Cena out of the blue.
  • Give Enzo a microphone and he will be a walking Smack-Talker Skywalker:
    • Their Raw debut was interrupting the Dudley Boys, of all people. Enzo instantly dissing the two is also a Crowning moment of Funny.
    • Enzo's battleground 2016 promo against AJ Styles and the Club had amazed John Cena so much that Cena was bowing to him at the end of it and Cass, who is used to it, even said "Give it up for Enzo". Even Dave Meltzer from the Wrestling Observer was impressed with Enzo, even saying "I was in awe of him too. He is fantastic! He is like, the best promo in the business now! He's like another Roddy Piper. He's so good."
    • Enzo outdone himself in his speech on Great Balls of fire after Cass' betrayal. Sure, we know that he was gonna get squashed by Cass but he was able to get over the crowd quickly that at the end the crowd was chanting his name even when he was being brutalized. He was even able to get a Frank Sinatra reference and killed it.
    • Enzo most recently moved to the Cruiserweight division, won the title, and turned heel. His cutting promos on the Cruiserweight division out of the championship win were gold and made him an instant heat magnet. So great was Creative's trust in Enzo that he was the feature part of a segment used to close out RAW (i.e. time typically reserved for main event Superstars).
  • Cass also has his moments to shine:
    • He proved himself to be a decent promo in the fatal-4-way sound off against Kevin Owens, Seth Rollins and Roman Reigns, telling them he is the biggest dog in the house. He even burned Seth with the line "Size does matter"note 
    • Him turning heel against Enzo is arguably the best promo that he gave in his entire career. He comes off as natural sounding as opposed to his previous promos where he sounds like he was rehearsing his lines.
