Ass is definitely fukked for the moment but if they continued to push Mark Henry, Cass has a chance to get another major heel push.

I know Henry's career is defined by the Hall of Pain and The Salmon Suit Swerve but his first 10 years in the E were.........bad. WWE didn't really do much with him until 2005-06. He had a lot of good/decent runs up til the Hall of Pain glory days but he was still injury prone. The only reason we have YES! Bryan is because his push had to be moved forward because Henry got injured. The original plan was to close the Hall of Pain at WM but Henry got injured and they took the title off him (but still kept him on TV for awhile).

Now will Cass have a major career resurgence like Henry? Doubtful. But he does have another one or two pushes to look forward to as long as Vince like tall freaks.

Ass is too frail though. He needs to be someone's muscle. He is unlikable enough where he could talk shyt and add extra heat onto whatever heel he works for but by himself he won't have any long runs or even a long career. Tag team champ with random main event heel and monster who rarely defends midcard title is his ceiling.

The difference with Mark Henry was that even though he was trash, you could tell he had charisma, and just needed the have it click, or have the right storyline (because let's not act like the shyt that was written for him wasn't embarrassing even by that day's standards). I really can't say that Cass has the same going for him. Homie couldn't even bother to make sure he had the right size sportcoat for his suit for his big return promo.

Bryan was always gonna cash in on the winner of the Henry/Show result..if not December than at EC at best. They would if kept pushing Henry ultra strong after those issues if he was meant to proceed.

WWE fukked up by not pairing Big Cass with The Miz. That shyt wrote itself. Even tho all of this could have been avoided if they never split up Enzo/Cass in the 1st place. Nobody fukks up a good thing like WWE.

Probably trying to STRETCH the Miz/Bryan first match til august. That’s why I had the idea of Miz winning MITB & cashing it in so u won’t need Cass

Henry is unique bc he had one of those iron clad 10 year contracts. Then re-signed another 10. He could afford to get injured and spend a full year to heal up.

When Henry's contract was coming up he was in OVW rehabbing from another injury. It would be in December of 2005 when things would finally start coming together for him and he'd get a huge push that would pay off. Prior to that everyone thought he would be released at the end of his contract.

Even after he started gaining steam and momentum people were not ecstatic about his elevated status. He was still a big, injury prone guy talking shine away from the vanilla flavor of the moment. His legacy wasn't cemented among the masses until that Hall of Pain run.

Of course he has more talent than Ass, but he also has a history of getting injured at the wrong time. After 2006, however, his push was almost always restarted as soon as he returned. I think Cass will have another chance or two as well.

And he was the legit worlds strongest man. Mark had credibility. Cass doesn’t even look intimidating on top of being trash

Yeah but this is wresting, legitimate credibility will only get you so far. Besides, Henry's background was powerlifting so what credibility would he have as compared to one of the other roided up freaks that compete in that realm. Henry was a natural and freak of nature but he had to learn wrestling from the ground up.
Now Steve Blackman and fukking Jack Swagger had combat sport and amateur wrestling credentials respectively but no one was clamoring for, nor would support them in the main event scene. Swagger was mocked endlessly on here.

And come on, we all know Ass has weak legs, but a 7 foot man is a 7 foot man. He may not look impressive but you ain't letting that dude get the first swing like you would say........a Kevin Hart. Lol I know y'all hate the guy (real heat :win: @Da King) but at least keep it 100 with yourselves. :mjlol:
