WWE SummerSlam 2017: Best and Worst Moments
By Bryan Heaton
Best: Harry Enzo-dini
Look, the shark cage is one of the dumbest stipulations in all of professional wrestling. It has little to no possible shock value – the person in the cage always finds a way to escape/interfere.
Couple that with the fact that the Enzo/Cass/Big Show feud has been pretty DOA for a while now. I mean, Enzo and Cass have already faced each other multiple times, and Cass won all of them. Big Show keeps trying to stand up for Enzo, but Cass is always a step ahead. Why would tonight have changed anything?
But I laughed so hard at the result of Enzo’s escape. Not so much at the actual escape – it was kind of dumb and even I can’t suspend that much disbelief. But the end result? Beautiful.
So Enzo is in the cage, and Cass is thoroughly decimating Big Show. The whole broken hand deal was a big part of it, but even though Show adapted to become a southpaw, Cass had the clear upper hand.
Next thing I know, Enzo’s yelling and half naked in the cage, pouring baby oil on himself because what guy doesn’t carry a tiny bottle of baby oil around with him? THEN he puts on a pair of gloves – oil on the hands means no grip, so they really thought this one through – and shimmies out of the cage.
Cass, of course, sees the whole thing, so as Enzo drops from the cage to the mat he’s immediately floored with a big boot. Big Show eats two big boots, and Cass wins, I laugh, and we never discuss this again as we move on.
