WWE Superstar Big Cass recently returned to WWE TV following being absent for quite awhile after suffering an injury in a match against his former tag team partner and former WWE employee Enzo Amore. Upon his return, he has been heavily pushed on SmackDown LIVE and was immediately placed into a singles feud with the also just returning Daniel Bryan.
The two faced off last night at BackLash and Big Cass’ performance in the match has been heavily criticized, and many fans are wondering why the company is pushing him so hard.
Big Cass’ push and match against Daniel Bryan was discussed on today’s episode of Wrestling Observer Radio. Regarding Big Cass’ push and performance in his match with Daniel Bryan, Dave Meltzer had the following to say:
“The mentality of people in television — not just wrestling people. If you stand out at the airport and people do double takes that’s what makes you a star. I’m sure when people see Cass at airports because he’s so tall and tanned that people do a double take going, ‘is he an actor, is he a basketball player? Is he a wrestler? Who is this guy?’ They don’t know him because he’s not a famous guy but he probably turns heads. But that doesn’t mean shit today.”
“Cass is in a tough situation but he is probably going to get pushed over and over again until it fails because you know he’s got a good look and that means a lot.”
“If you go out there and you’re not having a good match against Daniel Bryan that is not good for your resume.”
