Man, even just looking at Enzo annoys me.

I'd even wager that's something Vince actually said once backstage and all Enzo was doing at the time was getting a Coke from the machine

Enzo comes off way better here than I thought he would.

[Perd]

I have to admit, that got a couple of laughs out of me.

[Aceorton]

It's weird. You can kind of hear a normal human being in there somewhere, like if a a couple of minor things had happened differently earlier in his life, he'd be a respectable person.

I've been pretty bummed by what's been happening to this Becky/Ronda/Charlotte feud, so I welcome more Enzo goofiness to help lighten things up a bit.

I give credence to the report of them hiding Enzo away from Vince at all times.

I also believe Seth Rollins wrote the email to Cornette saying that everyone wanted to beat the f*** out of Enzo on a daily basis.

"Look at him. He's like that small version of Scooby Doo. Why's he doing that stupid leg shuffle dance while he's getting a Coke, goddammit?"

Enzo is hated by everyone but wasn’t Gotch also despised? Like when Cara whooped his ass nobody helped?

Despised is a strong word, I don't think he got Enzo levels of heat, but he is an abrasive guy, yeah. Then again, Hunico/Cara 2 also has anger problems that have gotten him into trouble a few times, so it may not have taken much.

Yeah from all accounts it did not take much at the time for Hunico to lose his cool and from all accounts the two had been joking around with each other saying stupid stuff and it just went a little too far. Gotch has said multiple times he wasnt mad at Hunico and they made peace almost right away.

But yeah I think Gotch is a guy you either love or hate. He is very passionate about wrestling and has no problem speaking his mind. Plus from all interviews I have seen with him... he does have a very very high opinion of himself and about how and where he was used which I could see causing him a lot of issues

Enzo is completely hopeless in the ring but that injury was 2/3 Simon's fault - bad ring positioning and too much force in a push

[chronocross]

I thought that was a funny story, Enzo was shit in the ring but he could talk.

It was totally Seth Rollins who wrote that. Just given that he's the only main event level guy in WWE that Jim is friends with. I mean it could have been Kevin Owens but that seems unlikely unless the heat between them was 100% a work.

Nah, that's all on Enzo. Getting into the physics of it, can't really see how Simon could be blamed, or even what he could have done to stop it.

I watched all of his shoot and I have to say he comes across a lot better than I imagined.

He has this 4000 page long folder full of ideas and promos and stuff.

I’ve always been a big fan of his and I hope he and Cass can get back to WWE eventually. In Cass’s case, I only enjoyed him when he was with Enzo. As a generic monster heel... nah, not for me. Enzo did well on his own though. That was the most relevant 205 Live ever was. It was closing Raw’s!
