Enzo Amore suffered a very serious concussion at “Payback”. Thus far, everyone has been so concerned about Enzo or been wondering when he is going to come back that there hasn’t been any blame thrown around.
It’s pro wrestling. These things are going to happen sometimes. Having said that, does Simon Gotch deserve some blame for injuring Enzo? Rewatch the injury and then you can judge for yourself:

On the most recent episode of the “Stone Cold Podcast”, Austin discussed Enzo’s injury and had some words for Simon Gotch of The Vaudevillians and gave his opinion on the entire situation.
You can listen to the full episode of his podcast right here. Below is what Stone Cold said about Simon Gotch and Enzo’s injury:
“My thoughts on that are, Gotch, when you’re throwing a man through the ropes at that short of a distance, you back off the horsepower. You threw him in with way too much force. I know it was unintentional [and] I know you were excited, but when you’re that close, you’ve got to slow the horsepower down, and, basically, you just kind of guide him. Give him a little bit of momentum, but you threw him so hard, so close, he couldn’t control anything that resulted in that wicked bump. And, one more mistake: you went and picked him up by his head when he was really in a bad position [and he] looked bad. You’ve got to be able to sense that. So, two messages. Don’t use that much horsepower that close to the [ropes]. It’s dangerous. And don’t pick a man up by his head if you have an inkling that something went wrong.”
“I’m not coming down on Gotch and I think the excitement got a hold of him, but, man, [it was] a really scary bump.” Austin added, “Gotch, check on a man before you grab someone by the head if you suspect anything. And that’s just words of wisdom. I’m not eating your ass out. I’m just saying, ‘hey, ease up on the horsepower’.”
