Big Cass wasn't exacly a man of that many talents in NXT, but the smartly-booked product ensured that that secret never got out until it was too late for the seven-footer to hide from his limitations.
With his interactions in tag matches kept short and promos alongside Enzo Amore kept even shorter, Cass was subsequently kept strong. He was a low key total package in Full Sail, particularly when he unleashed his pitch-perfect pipes on an unsuspecting audience in 2014.
Competing with Aiden English as part of an extended angle with the musical maestro, Cass flexed his vocal chords instead of his biceps - and the results were genuinely impressive. So much so that a mangled 'Price Is Right' ditty became the ironically enjoyable theme song of the briefly-white hot Blue Pants during her own NXT tenure.
"What couldn't Big Cass do?" was actually a rhetorical question for a short while. And it truly didn't ever need answering.
