After being released from WWE in 2018, Morrissey had a public battle with alcoholism, eventually leading to the former Big Cass suffering a seizure during an independent show. He then got sober and made his AEW debut in 2022.
La lucha contra el alcoholismo
Schiavone admitted to jokingly texting Conrad Thompson in 2017 to chide his co-host for forcing him to watch WWE and learn who Big Cass was. However, once Schiavone got to know Morrissey, the AEW commentator had nothing but positive things to say about the former WWE star. In addition to praising his talents as a wrestler, Schiavone called Morrissey one of the best people he knows.
La posición actual de Morrissey en AEW
Morrissey’s current position in AEW has seen him serving as a lackey for Chris Jericho, who Schiavone credits for continuing to reinvent himself and bringing others along for the ride. As part of the partnership, Morrissey’s latest match saw him team with Jericho and Jeff Cobb in a losing effort against HOOK, Samoa Joe, and Katsuyori Shibata at AEW x NJPW Forbidden Door last month.
