8. 'Your Mom' Award For Worst Comeback - Big Cass

He came. He stalled. He faltered.

First-graders being admonished for not eating their broccoli make better comebacks than this. After seven months on the shelf nursing a nasty ACL tear, you could forgive Big Cass for being a little less mobile on his return. What can't be forgiven was that the man clearly hadn't used his time away studying the craft; even Daniel Bryan, a man so proficient in the ring he has a Wrestling Observer award named after him, couldn't get more out of the lumbering oaf than he might, say, a sack of potatoes. What's more, Cass returned somehow even worse on the mic, exuding less charisma than a charcoal drawing of John Major.

The repeated backstage 'issues' (such as: being a t*sser) must have came as a blessing to WWE. After all, constructive dismissal can be costly in court.

Benjamin was born in 1987, and is still not dead. He variously enjoys classical music, old-school adventure games (they're not dead), and walks on the beach (albeit short - asthma, you know). He's currently trying to compile a comprehensive history of video game music, yet denies accusations that he purposefully targets niche audiences. He's often wrong about these things.
