Not really a fan. They're schtick is repetitive and I think they're both very marginal as wrestlers and that's being generous. They also literally wrestle the same match every time with Enzo starting and getting beat up immediately, making a hot tag to Cass who cleans house with his three or four moves he has and then tagging back Enzo who either gets the pin or gets pinned himself. Regardless they're still very over though, so for that they're still deserving of a push and decent TV time even though I don't really get it.
I think the New Age Outlaw comparison is a good one. Charismatic team that's super over, but lacking as far as their match quality goes. They even wrestle the same style with the charismatic talker of the two (Enzo, Road Dogg) getting very little offense and doing all the selling before hot tagging the bigger guy (Cass, Billy Gunn) who saves the day and is always booked strong.

They've grown on me. I recognized their charisma at first, but Enzo has all the attributes of a guy I'd normally detest. But after seeing them for a while, hearing them on Austin's podcast, and listening to Enzo's quasi bizarre promos that he pulls off and Cass' intelligent dumbness (I can't quite describe it, but he pulls it off very well...it helps that he is actually pretty damn smart) I dig them. I'm a fan.
I still cringe at Enzo's "coupla haters" line he shoehorns in though.

I liked them from the moment they debuted in WWE.

I like them, but they pretty much need to stay a team, IMO.
Cass is going to invite backlash as a singles guy due to his size, and Enzo just isn't all that believable on his own.
Enzo being the little loudmouth that needs his big buddy to back him up is absolutely natural.
And it helps that they (supposedly, can anybody confirm?) knew each other before coming to WWE.

On the podcast they mentioned that they played basketball together on occasion on the 4th Street courts in Greenwich Village, but didn't really know each other that much (like I doubt they did nothing more than just play basketball when both happened to be there). But they became friends in FCW (I think) because of that shared New York connection.

I didn't like how they did the SAWFT thing twice last night. It shows how thin their act is. But they always manage to keep my attention.

I like them but sometimes Enzo's schtick is so weird that fans don't know when to cheer because he just makes strange puns that have no clear end point like "CHEER NOW", so it comes off kinda odd.

I'm in the middle with them. They are New Age Outlaw in the way they get big crowd reactions with their entrance and promo work. But just like the NAO, they sorta loses them when the bell ring. I respect them as a duo but I'm not waiting on bated breathe for their matches. I'm the opposite. I am already dead tired of their entrance and catchphrases, but find them refreshing in the ring.

Don't like them always fast forward their entrance. Really annoying hearing the same shit over and over.

Still can't stand them.
They are an instant mute for me.
Enzo's jumping around and screeching just irritates me greatly. Cass also isn't very good on the mic. They just need to tone it down and have more to them than throwing around the same catchphrases.
I also find it incredibly ridiculous to compare them to the New Age Outlaws. LOL. No way man.

Never saw them in NXT, because I didn't have the Network. I was surprised by their look, so I was like, "Okay, let's see what they bring to the table."
And right as Enzo started speaking, I was blown away by them. So they grew on me instantly.
And you can't. Teach! THAT!!!

Like them, but wish creative would do something more with the tag division, so they're not squashing Local Men.

Never liked them and still don't. They're okay wrestlers, so I don't mind watching their matches. However, when they start talking, I have to mute the television. That shtick/their characters annoy the living hell out of me. It's honestly like a "nails on the chalkboard" thing for me.

I'm another that has always liked them and think they've got a lot better in the ring.
The weird thing I've actually become more interested in hearing their crowd reaction than seeing/hearing them.

I like them, but one that I've noticed that's starting to get to me...
Every time they come out, Cass has the "YEEEEEEAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHH!!!" scream that he does, which makes their pop sound bigger than it actually is (even though they're obviously over).
It bothers me a little bit.

Very one dimensional so far, but you got to start somewhere right.
My fear is that WWE will use them and throw them away as soon as another one shows up with hot catchphrase to take their spot. I doubt WWE will give them space to grow, I expect them to end like Social Outcasts, one they were the hottest thing in the building the next day they are just there.

I had never even seen them till they debuted on Raw and was sold immediately. "Puttin D-von's lazy eye back to work" was just instantaneous me liking them.
