10 WWE SummerSlam 2017 Impulse Reactions

Enzo Amoré may be able to escape a shark cage, but clearly hasn't navigated his way out of WWE's doghouse after another dispiriting burial of the 'Smacktalker Skywalker' punctuated an absolutely rotten Big Show/Big Cass midcard snoozer.
Predictably, Enzo stole the show from his literally raised profile above the seven-footers, mugging and gurning for an audience that still wants to love him despite the company's attempts to bring him back down to earth with a thud. It's a bizarre dichotomy at play - if Amoré was even half the wrestler Daniel Bryan was, it's likely that large portions of the sophisticated crowd simply wouldn't abide by the persistent burials of the popular mic-man, regardless of whatever backstage etiquette he apparently isn't observing.
Unfortunately for the leopardskin-loving New Yorker, he just hasn't got enough credit in the bank with crowds. Those familiar 'Ohh, Enzo Amoré' chants will only diminish whilst the beatings continue until morale improves.
It probably can't feel that good for Big Cass to literally have to try and kick some sense into his real life best friend, but he's just another new giant hoping to get the rocket strapped to his a*se that virtually every fella his size has since the dawn of time. For Cass, the locker room w*nker is still just an anchor, and the sooner the once-beloved duo are severed permanently, the better.
