Big Cass released.

Monokne

Wow. Intrigued to hear what's behind this.

J. Marston

Wow. I thought he was awful, still do, but surprised they released him and didn't continue forcing him on us.

sky88

Well that is some hell of a suprise

Pentecost

No wishing him well in his future endeavours either.

Just noticed that now. Strange that it wasn't tacked on.

Simple case of he asked for & got his release? Or something else at play?

Also maybe worth splitting the post from here & the news thread into it's own thread?

sky88

Enzo just posted this coincidence maybe ha

No way he asked for it. In the middle of a push in a position he had no right or enough talent to be in, he would have been laughing all the way to the bank. He must have messed up bad.

Rumour has it he has a short temper :pac:

Well I'm sure SlickRic, wherever he is, must be delighted that Cass has been canned by the company.


Not that it's nice seeing someone lose their job BEFORE anyone jumps at me..

A necessary thinning of the herd.....I'm shocked. Nothing against Cass and I'm on record here saying he has potential, but to be brutal he was taking up a spot that he couldn't carry on a stacked roster.

Melt wr saying Vince called a roster meeting today and sacked Cass.

How bad did he have to do to get sacked like that.

Itssoeasy

The way metlzer puts it it sounds like Vince did it infront of the roster. Jesus that's cold.

So he gets dumped by Carmella and does his ACL and gets fired. Jesus if he didn't have bad luck he'd have no luck.

I really cant believe he was with the company for 7 years

And yet oddly, it's something I can definitely picture Vince doing..

Who taught out of enzo, Carmella, and big cass that Carmella would be the one to actually be still there AND get wins over two of the hottest women in the company and be the women's champion on smackdown ? I didn't think that I'll tell ya.

Going into business for yourself must be the ultimate no no to be fair. Don't do what your told and your out.

Oh I'm sure big cass isn't the first person and Vince didn't get WWE to where it is by being all sweetness and light.

He says a meeting I assume it was Vince & others outside the roster as Cass wasn't at the taping according to Mike Johnson of PWInsider but worked the Smackdown house show last night.

Well yeah especially when you're low on the flowchart of pull. I'm sure bigger names might get more leeway but if you are on the level of big cass, if you are told to do something you say how high Mr McMahon.

Well fair enough but it's still fairly cold.

Like KO + Sami

So is Big Cass a one off, or are there more releases coming down the line?

She was probably the better wrestler and character too all round

Why?
He used to get the head of talent relations to give the push so I don't see what changed.
I imagine he met with others to discuss Cass behaviour & made the choice.
It wasn't done in front of the roster or due to the roster being so competitive now :rolleyes:

As below average as Cass is he's a far better wrestler than she will ever be; she is the drizzlin sh!ts

To be honest, i didnt think he was good in the ring and definitely not on the mic and without Enzo with him on the mic, i think it was only a matter of time
