2. Big Cass

Fans of wrestling the world over rejoiced when, like a bolt out of the blue, Big Cass suddenly received his marching orders in mid-June.

Since his comeback from a major knee injury, Cass had stunk up the joint, most criminally stealing the joy of Daniel Bryan's comeback with a series of absolute rotters seemingly designed to put the lankster over. Just as audience enmity for Cass was building, so too were attitudes to him backstage turning sour. Behavioural issues had begun to mount - including an incident when he smashed a locked bathroom door - and they all came to a head when Cass was reportedly publicly intoxicated and disobedient during WWE's European tour. He was given the shove shortly after.

Since leaving WWE, Cass has made sporadic appearances on the independent circuit. Scarily, he suffered a seizure at Tommy Dreamer's House of Hardcore event in early-December, but thankfully made a full recovery soon after.

Benjamin was born in 1987, and is still not dead. He variously enjoys classical music, old-school adventure games (they're not dead), and walks on the beach (albeit short - asthma, you know). He's currently trying to compile a comprehensive history of video game music, yet denies accusations that he purposefully targets niche audiences. He's often wrong about these things.
