10. Replicating Disaster

Theres an expression about professional wrestling, This aint ballet.

And while thats true, that doesnt make watching Aiden English and Enzo Amore trying to duplicate the incident that gave Enzo a pretty bad concussion and landed him on the shelf any easier. During a tag match at Payback, Amore smacked the ropes while being thrown outside, whiplashing his head into the mat and knocking him out.

On Raw Monday night, English went to toss Enzo in the same manner, and Amore hit the bottom rope on his way out, appearing to hit the apron (though its likely the angle made it look far worse on purpose). The incident set Big Cass off, as he proceeded to demolish both Vaudevillains and get DQd in the process.

Still, just a month removed from being stretchered out due to a legit concussion, Enzo was taking a similar bump. Yeah, it helped make the Vaudevillains look dastardly, and it helped let Cass go off, but really? It aint ballet, but was it really necessary to make the same point? (Admittedly, this might be the parent coming out and being overly cautious, rather than just being a wrestling fan and enjoying a storyline.)
