Big Cass (aka: CaZXL) recently sat down with Ryan Satin of Pro Wrestling Sheet to talk about several topics regarding his WWE exit and his battle with depression. Cass reveals that he was drinking a handle of Tito’s Vodka every day after his release from WWE and how bad he feels about letting guys like Daniel Bryan, Vince McMahon & Triple H down with all his actions. You can read some quotes below and watch the hour long conversation below as well:
How Much Cass Was Drinking Prior to Suffering a Seizure:
“I’ll tell you this — I’ve never said this on record — I’ll say it here … before the seizure, every day I was drinking a handle of Tito’s vodka. Every motherf*cking day. A whole handle. You can ask my Drizly driver. He can attest to it.”
On Feeling Like He Let People Down During Program with Daniel Bryan:
“I’m happy I had that experience, but I’m also disappointed in myself. I’m disappointed that I let the company down. Vince down. Hunter down. I let Bryan down because Bryan was really excited to work with me. And I let him down. These are things I have to deal with now. Learning experiences. But, looking back on it, yeah … I’m very disappointed in myself. I’m more disappointed that I let people down that wanted that to work out. But there are bigger forces at hand that were going against me in that point in time.”
On Going Off Script in Segment with Little Person Being a Huge Mistake:
“It was a f*cking mistake. It was a dumb decision on my part. So stupid. It was probably the worst decision I ever made. And it’s so crazy what I was going through at the time, because if you would’ve told anybody two years prior — even a year prior — that I was gonna do that, they would’ve said ‘you’re f*cking crazy. He’s a model employee.’ I regret it to this day. So f*cking stupid. I just did what I thought was right and it was a very stupid decision. Very f*cking stupid. I shouldn’t have done it.”

Learning of His Release from Vince McMahon in a Nearly Hour-Long Meeting:
“We had a long talk. It was a great talk. We had a very very good conversation and we left very amicably. I have no bad things to say about that company. They treated me well. They put me in great spots. They did everything for me and I kinda just f*cked them over. I feel bad about that and I’m disappointed in myself that I let a lot of people down.”
The Potential of a WWE Return:
“I do think the door is open. It’s just a matter of what I want to do.”
“It’s tough to say right now [if he’d like to return]. It’s a tough life, man. People don’t realize how tough that lifestyle is. Mentally, right now, I feel like I’m in a good place. I feel like I’m in a very good place to handle that schedule, and to handle that life — that’s where I feel like I’m at right now — but I don’t know what I want to do, man. I’m kinda living life right now keeping my options open. There’s plenty of wrestling out there in the world.”
