10 Monster Wrestling Matches That Were Devastating Disappointments
8. The Big Show Vs Big Cass
They're not the boss of you now, and they're not so big, despite both having the adjective wedged into their actual names.
Though more down to coincidence than karma, only in wrestling could two seven footers battle for three months over the tangled affection of a wild-haired malcontent then find themselves both shelved whilst he experiences the best solo run of his entire career.
The angle was designed to give Cass his first major step forward since turning on his longstanding best bud, but the contests were so uniformly dreadful that an ordinarily unfortunate injury may have arose at the best possible time.
Enzo Amoré's greasy drop from the shark cage that hung above the pair during their abysmal SummerSlam clash was only designed represent his declining trajectory, but within a fortnight of the contest, he'd be the last one standing and on his way to an unlikely reign as Cruiserweight Champion.
The giants just didn't have the necessary chemistry to make the bout even loosely enjoyable. Though at his lightest in nearly two decades, Show hasn't complimented his physical improvement with an enhanced array of in-ring weaponry. Cass' solo inexperience shone, with the Queens, New York native unable to project adequate menace against a foe of equal size.
Time will heal their injuries, but here's hoping it also helps fans forget their summer stinkers.
