Maybe he got released after the big boot he gave Daniel Bryan. Honestly I haven't really been watching the weekly tv, has Bryan been taking head bumps?

Perhaps Cass didn't want to Job in the gauntlet match and Vince blew his stack.

Exactly this. WWE had gold with THE RYBACK but they had to let that no talent, straight edge pussy, CM Punk go over. Now they let a decent rassler go bc he beat up a midget? Thats funny. Everything is too PC nowdays. They'd probably fire JBL now days bc he made anti immigrant videos and now everyone hss gone soft. WWE pushes idiots like Balor, Bobby (only over bc of his dumb theme song) Roode, and the Super Vegan soyboy. UGH!

Daniel Bryan should have stayed retired. He's only over bc of the YES chants and bc of Kane getting him over. And their therapist. Mainly him.

He was the less talented half of a tag team which included Enzo Amore.

I wonder if Vince realized he already had a "Big E" and was like "What the hell do we need two BIG guys for?!"

On the contrary- maybe he namedropped her or something. Mentioning Linda is verboten ever since she has become serious-pants politician. Abraham Washington mentioned her in a tweet, and he was canned immediately for exactly that reason.

Real answer: meh. He has potential, but pretty much "tall" is what he has going for him. Seems kinda lanky and uncoordinated. I wasn't to impressed with him in ROH, but he wasn't exactly the drizzling shits, either. Just kinda meh. In his 911-esque role, he was serviceable, and wasn't really overexposed like, say, a certain Constable...

"He wasn't necessarily huge, but he made a lot of guys around him look small" -Jim Cornette on Dan Spivey, but it certainly applies to Cass.

I wouldn't say Ryback was awful. I enjoyed many of his matches and I wouldn't say his last match against Kalisto was all Kalisto considering he botches almost as much as Sin Cara

The quality of his matches were secondary for me. It could be worked around. His presence and general badassery is something missing in wrestling nowadays and he was getting massively over before they fucked him over with monumentally bad booking.

Ryback ruined Curtis Axel so he's awful.

CM Punk is probably more to blame though, he's double awful.

Actually, that "Genesis of the age of McGullicutty" promo was probably the best Axel has ever been.

Axel is a solid wrestler and if his time as the comedy act hasn't proven he can be a "sports entertainer" I don't know what will. Solid IC champ mid card guy. Ryback always had a ceiling and didnt even reach it, given that was more WWEs fault than his.

Ryback also looked like a hunchback which I never got past. Hunchback should have been his name.

Based on some rumors going around the net, seems his firing might have been due to his bad rep of being very tough/stubborn to work with and WWE simply not liking his work output as a singles star.
They gave him the Bryan feud thinking Bryan's rep of being great working with anyone would provide the motivation and change needed for Cass. Instead the opposite happen and got pissed off to the point it was easier to just get rid of him. |

Also, Dijak is way better than Cass. I'd love for him to get his push. He might want to learn to promo first, though. |

That was the 1st slipup that put him on thin ice. The most retarded thing about that was he said that in 2012, the Kobe sexual assault thing happened in 2003 - putting yourself on your bosses shitlist for a 9 year old joke He got released after he tweeted "#AWPromotion$ says vote for Linda McMahon!!! The PTP'z support Linda and so should you!" |

Reliability is very hit or miss but Sports Illustrated's Justin Barrasso reports Cass was fired due to “personal conduct issues” related to last month's European tour and his issues with alcoholism.
Also reported WWE was impressed with his performance at MitB but wasn't enough to outweigh all the problems they had with him. https://www.si.com/wrestling/2018/06...conduct-issues |

I do feel kinda bad for the guy. Vince and co. are always repeatedly saying in interviews how guys these days are afraid to take risks etc, so someone goes against the bosses orders and it lands him in the dog house. I guess there's a difference between trying your own thing and disobeying a direct order, but still.
That whole midget beatdown thing wasn't the worst thing in the world. Sounds like nobody high up is keen on Cass to begin with. |
