6. The Video YouTube Demands You Watch

Can an algorithm feel love? 

Yes, because YouTube’s is head over heels with Simon Gotch verbally eviscerating the former Enzo Amore. The algorithm loves that shoot interview more than Tony Khan loves saying the word “great”. 

Enzo had beef with everybody, likely because he was a thoroughly deluded narcissist, but Simon Gotch truly seemed to despise him. Gotch buried Enzo so deep into the core of the earth that it’s a wonder he recovered from his bout of nickel poisoning. It was a great burial, to be sure. The deadpan timing was sublime: 

“Cass is a good dude, he’s a solid big man, Enzo is a f*cking abortion”. 

Enzo was so bad at the craft of wrestling, according to Gotch, that he once broke his leg attempting to counter a wrist lock. He also - despite insisting that he could take an inside out bump off a clothesline - head-butted Gotch in the chest and gave himself a DDT. 

Enzo’s own shoot response was fantastic, claiming Gotch had it out for him ever since Enzo embarrassed him in promo class by saying “Simon Gotch has a pair of titties like a 65 year-old woman, how ya doin’?”
