Big Cass Talks ‘Very, Very Bad Decisions’ That Led To WWE Release

Big Cass was released from WWE months after Enzo Amore was let go for completely different reasons. At the time, Big Cass wasn’t in a very good place and it showed in a lot of ways. This led to his release from the company.

During Talk Is Jericho, CazXL opened up about his WWE release. He was drinking a lot and “making very, very bad decisions.” This also included going off-script on television like when he destroyed that little person dressed as Daniel Bryan when he wasn’t supposed to.

“I kind of just lost my mind towards the end. I was battling with some things, with some mental health issues that I didn’t speak up about, or I didn’t tell anybody, there were like two people. I was just out of control, drinking a lot, making very, very bad decisions, going off script on live television, which was a very, very big mistake.”

“I went out there in Montreal, very smart mark crowd, and when I gave the little person the boot, I looked out in the crowd and, this segment was designed to get me mega heat, like mega fucking heat, and after I did that, I looked out in the crowd and to be honest with you, I’d say half the people were laughing, I guess they thought it was funny. And in my mind, I was thinking, this is not what they want behind the curtain. This was specifically designed to get me like, uber, uber heat. So then I was panicking because I was like, this is not the reaction they want, so then I did what I thought was right [continued to beat up the little person]. And when I got back through the curtain, it was very, very bad. It was a bad night for me.”

“That is the understatement of the century [that Vince McMahon wasn’t happy]. Furious. He was furious.”

It seems like Big Cass is in a better place after he had to pull away from the spotlight. He had a very bad set of circumstances at an indie show that led to the police being called. Hopefully, much better days are ahead for him.
