10 Wrestlers Who Got Into Phenomenal Shape
9. W. Morrisey
This entry is a heart warming one.
The troubles facing the former Big Cass have been well documented, from his downfall in WWE to the very severe issues he suffered whilst wrestling on the indies. Morrisey looked like a guy who had burnt too brightly too quickly, and once he was shown the door by Vince McMahon for his bad attitude, he looked like a lost cause.
Always feeling a lesser star without Enzo Amore beside him, Morrisey became a regular feature on 'what if?' lists, but the worst was to come on 8 December 2018. Whilst wrestling at House of Hardcore 52, he was rushed to hospital after suffering a seizure. It was a critical moment in the young man's life, as drugs and alcohol had sent him down a dark path we have seen many once promising wrestlers travel.
Fortunately, with the help of wrestling's saint, Diamond Dallas Page, Morrisey was able to pull himself around, and he headed back to wrestling with IMPACT!, where he had a well received run near the top of the card. He returned looking meaner and leaner than ever, and since then, he has found his way to All Elite Wrestling, having been aligned with Stokely Hathaway.
It's great to see W Morrissey in such incredible shape, and let's hope he keeps himself clean and enjoys a run befitting a man of his promise and clear dedication.
