10 Worst WWE Wrestlers Of 2017
8. Big Cass
It'd be ghoulish to call the torn ACL that brought Big Cass' ghastly 2017 to a premature end in August a good thing, but it may prove to be a blessing in disguise for the troubled giant. Yes, he's missing a huge chunk of his athletic prime, but it has forcibly dragged him away from a godawful storyline that had badly exposed his shortcomings, and rendered big chunks of Raw unwatchable.
Cass vs. Enzo was the pits. The matches were universally atrocious, and things got even worse when Big Show entered the picture, with the two seven-footers working a complete borefest at SummerSlam. It was abundantly clear that Cass was nothing without his livewire sidekick. The heel run flopped, and must be recalibrated when Cass eventually returns to the ring, unless WWE want to tank his career entirely.
It's too early to write him off completely, but Cass accomplished nothing in 2017. Though lightyears ahead of their singles bouts, his early-year tag work alongside Enzo saw them cast only as supporting players, and offered little hope for upward momentum. Booked like a fool and woefully overexposed, he'd probably love to put the past 12 months behind him.
