Big
Cass (William Morrissey) has issued a statement on the altercation he got into
at WrestlePro's event in Rahway, New Jersey on September 15th. The statement was
released via Enzo Amore's social media accounts: “I have been very honest with
my past struggles, and it has been an ongoing battle. On Saturday the 15th, I
obviously let my demons get the better of me and I ruined an important night for
a really great guy in an unfortunate series of events. I have worked incredibly
hard to get where I am, and even harder to overcome my ongoing battle with
depression. But I will work my absolute hardest to right the wrongs of Saturday
night and apologize to Kevin Mathews, Pat Buck, Joey Janela, the entire
WrestlePro locker room and all parties involved from the bottom of my heart. I’m
getting help from family and friends as we speak and will be getting
professional help in the near future and ask all to please respect my privacy in
the meantime. When & if I reemerge as a public figure it will be in good faith
and I hope to inspire those who struggle with the same mental health issues I do
to seek the help they need. If Tyson Fury can do it....so can I. Remember...I
ain’t dead yet. And neither are you.” Cass and Janela were both booked on the
show but Cass arrived in what was described as a "belligerent" state. He
threatened (and may have slapped) Janela. Cass was ranting about someone
stealing a sweater from him and threatened people in the locker room if he
didn't find it. He ended up face to face with WWE talent Buck but got knocked
down when Buck popped him one. Once Cass was removed from the building he talked
to the police, who decided to have him taken to a local hospital.
