Big Cass released

[Yer Maw]

And you can't teach That!

[Spidey]

Seems such an odd turn of events.

Seems really abrupt. He had backstage heat, apparently more than we thought.

I wasn't the biggest fan, but I kinda feel for the guy. He was about to get a push but then got injured. Then he breaks up with Carmella and gets released soon after.

Edit - And I guess that's what happens when you're not ready for Daniel Bryan

Probably asked for a release thinking he's better than what he's been given from WWE. IMO he sucks, won't miss him at all. Reminded me of a crappy taller version of Test.

I JUST now heard about this. All I have to say is...huh?

I mean, Cass wasn't the best in ring worker or anything, but the guy was proving to be a solid performer and he was doing some good mic work as well. The fact they didn't give him 'future endeavors' also surprises me. It sounds like he did something to really piss people off.

Funny, Carmella outlasted both Enzo and Big Cass.

Good riddance.

I'm sure he'll have a blast working with Kongo Kong in TNA.

An interesting little tidbit is WWE's official announcement:

"WWE has come to terms on the release of William Morrissey (Big Cass)."

They didn't even wish him well in his future endeavors. Either Cass had some mega heat backstage, did or said something recently that led to his immediate release or requested his own release.

Funny, Carmella outlasted both Enzo and Big Cass.

I dunno. It's not so surprising when you think about it.

Carmella - Hot blonde that's a former professional dancer and certified fitness instructor with the body to prove it.

Enzo Amore - Obnoxious 30 year old going on 15 years old too stupid to know when to keep his mouth shut and barely knows the basics of in-ring work.

Big Cass - Slow, plodding 7 footer that was average in the ring but would get hostile towards people backstage who didn't share his views.

So yeah...I'd keep Carmella instead of those two any ol' day of the week.

Uncle Dave is reporting that Vince McMahon called a private meeting earlier today backstage in Toledo, where tonight's episode of SmackDown Live is taking place, and fired him. If true, then it sounds like Vince personally fired Cass and, though I may be wrong, I don't think that happens all that often anymore.
