adminFormer wrestler Big Cass has opened up on his battle with mental health and alcoholism after being fired from the WWE .
The 30-year-old, real name William Morrissey, was a rising star in the wrestling organisation, and reached the final two of the 50-man Greatest Royal Rumble last year. However, he was fired by the brand in June last year after question marks were raised over his conduct, following his appearance on the European Tour while intoxicated.
Cass later suffered a seizure at the end of 2018, which he looks back on as a difficult time.
Speaking at a North East Wrestling show he said: “The last time people saw me I was fat, I was drunk, and I was out of shape.
“I was on the floor going to the hospital because I had a seizure. My life was falling apart, mental health issues, I was an alcoholic.”
Cass burst to prominence alongside tag team partner Enzo Amore in NXT, before they made the step up to the main WWE roster. — mirror.co.uk.
