If there is one thing that breeds behaviour, it is repetition.

Repetition.

Repetition.

It works if you want your child to become a concert violinist, and it works if you want to get audiences to notice when you walk onto the stage. You have to train these people, you see - they aren't born with love for you in their tiny black hearts, they have to have it ground into them by relentless, unforgiving rote learning.

Enzo and Big Cass have turned the arena into a Victorian classroom with enormous success. The audience are so well trained they can recite Enzo’s schtick letter for letter, so all he has to do it begin his spiel and wrestling fans will enter a state of near-sexual ecstasy as they repeat it back to him. Few long-time grapple fans will be oblivious to the heritage of this technique, since the New Age Outlaws made a similar career of it in the Attitude Era.

For another, less obvious current-day example, witness Paul Heyman, whose lawyerly introduction is as enthusiastically parroted as anything the Rock ever smelt.
