While on a recent episode of Talk is Jericho, Big Cass commented on how DDP has helped him overcome his struggles in the past year including having a seizure at House of Hardcore and an incident at WrestlePro in September.
Big Cass opened up about his mental health and also spoke on how DDP contacted him following his seizure and helped Cass get into a better place mentally, physically, and emotionally.
Big Cass elaborated on DDP calling him following the seizure he had at House of Hardcore:
“DDP’s a guy that I knew — so WrestleMania weekend and PPVs and stuff when you run into Hall of Famers or people who are in the hotel, it’s always that, ‘Are you excited for Sunday? Okay, all right, hi, goodbye.’ Me and DDP would always chat. Half-hour, hour, something like that. So we had this connection every time we saw each other. So then when I had the seizure he called me. We had a heart-to-heart, and then he kept checking in with me. And then after we did the Garden in April, the night before WrestleMania, he had heard from somebody that I was sober, in great shape, doing well. So he called me and congratulated me on that and was like, ‘All right. Now me and you are gonna get work, we’re gonna get you back in shape for wrestling, to make a wrestling comeback.’”
Big Cass also explained on Page has helped him out mentally:
“Not only that, DDP is very positive, he has a great mindset. He’s helped me mentally, emotionally. When I stay with him, it’s like a family atmosphere. So we do DDP Yoga, we get to work, but at the same time I feel like part of the family. We eat dinner together, me and his family. So he’s helped me, I’d say more importantly on the emotional and mental side of things than the physical. The physical, definitely he’s helped me stay in shape, get in better shape, be more flexible, things I need to perform wrestling-wise. But more importantly, he’s helped me, like I said, mentally.”
