Seriously. After watching last night's NXT and seeing just how insanely over this team is with the crowd, how much longer do you all think until they get their call-up? I see them having a New Age Outlaws meets Dudley Boyz type of response from the crowd. They're the single most entertaining tag team in NXT, definitely, perhaps even all of WWE. Their theme is weird, but it works. From them spelling S-A-W-F-T out, to the stammering from Cassady, to having Carmella as their 'guidette queen', to the "You can't teach that" participatory intro, they're crazy fun. I can't get enough of them. As much as WWE has screwed up the call-ups of Ascension, Rose and a few others, I don't see how they could screw up these unique characters *unless they repackage them or never let them get on the mic. They just have *it*...and you can't teach that.

Everyone is over at NXT. That small sample size does not translate to full arenas.

I think Big Cass has some work to do. Watching him in the ring, I sometimes forget he's 7 feet tall. He doesn't really use his size to his advantage. They CAN teach that.
Enzo is hilarious. I found him annoying at first, but he grew on me. On the main roster I think he might get like X-Pac heat. He's small and annoying, but that's what makes him entertaining.

Looking at that picture I can see an HBK/HHH beginning of DX there.

Everyone is over at NXT. That small sample size does not translate to full arenas. Half of the crowd knows every single line to their whole entrance monologue. That's not reminiscent of the NAO to you? Seriously, you don't have to be such a downer on everything NXT. I feel their 'overness' is sustainable on the main roster. They have a cartoonish quality that drew people to Zack Ryder, but with much more charisma. I agree with you, bababooey on Cass improving in the ring. But that goes for almost all true developmental talent. I'm speaking primarily from a personality standpoint. These two are the most entertaining tag team I've seen since...hell I don't even know, Edge and Christian? Their ability on the stick, and to connect with the crowd, is special. Cassady's eye gestures ftw.

I can see their act getting over. It's all about how the main roster would book them and if they gave them character development.
Also, I don't think they're going to get called up soon simply because both guys still need a lot of work in the ring.

Enzo and Cass are the most over act in NXT, and they have been for some time. What they do will catch on with any audience. They're as entertaining as any team I've ever seen.
Moving them up to the main roster is going to take time. They're going to have to do their act for a little bit before the crowd starts doing it with them. It will help that there should be a few people in every crowd that knows what to do during the whole schtick right out of the gate.
I've said for awhile though that WWE is wasting money not bringing them up. Sure they still have some learning to do in the ring but that's not as big of a deal when you're in a tag team. Bringing them up to work with Kidd and Cesaro and the Usos when healthy is only going to help them.
Again, just as entertaining as it gets and I don't care if it's NXT or the main roster or what, they're worth watching every single time out.

I am a fan of the team as well, but I don't think they have the size that Vince loves. Cass is tall, but not super muscular. Enzo is very small. They're the kind of team that grows on you. They will need funny, backstage vignettes to get over. WWE usually doesn't seem to have patience for that on the main roster.

I think it'll translate to the main WWE roster as long as Vince lets them do their thing and not handicap them with a bad gimmick.

I have the feeling the RAW Crowd will just this up most of the time(either that or Vinnie Mac & Kevin Dumb)

I just pray and hope they debut in a smark crowd that will know their shtick and thus help translate to the casual that these guys are a big deal.

I'm excited for them to get called up, but I don't want them to rush it. Last thing we need is for another NXT talent to be mistreated on the main roster. I do agree about the NAO comparisons, as I see the crowd repeating every word. And I think they'll be crazy over if Vince let's them do their schtick.
I would like to see Cass hit the gym a little more. He's got the size but he has that skinny fat thing going on. Enzo is golden.

Yea, because it was a dumb dance that only got over because it was the same group of fans weekly. That's much harder to get over with different crowds than entertaining promo. It's very New Age Outlaws like.

Enzo needs to get rid of that blonde beard! It's gone. It was on the last set of Full Sail tapings but he didn't have it during the Ohio run. It was awful.

Speaking of skinny-fat, he really reminds me of a giant Edge (who is also skinny-fat, which never killed his getting over).
