8 Wrestlers Who Went Nuts Overseas
5. Bus Cass
Big Cass hasn't had the best 12 months.
This time last year, he was set to defeat The Big Show at SummerSlam, end his interminable rivalry with former partner Enzo Amore the following night, and presumably get a healthy push to coincide with his unteachable height.
Stage one of the plan was disastrous, but only for pro wrestling reasons - the Big Show clash was a total dud. His Raw feud-ender with Enzo was somehow even worse. Cass crocked himself early on, ruling himself out of WrestleMania 34 with an ACL injury serious enough to derail him for eight months. During his on-screen absence, he split from real life girlfriend Leah 'Carmella' Van Dale whilst former best friend Amore was booted from the company amidst unpleasant sexual assault allegations.
His understated return to feud with Daniel Bryan shortly after 2018's 'Show Of Shows' appeared on paper the perfect fresh start, but Cass' personal struggles fatally wounded the execution of the angle. Alongside some professional infractions (Cass apparently blew off promo rehearsals and notably went into business for himself with an extended assault on a miniature Daniel Bryan impersonator), the former NXT doubles star's oddball actions cost the company money and the man most of his locker room support.
Stuck in a coach toilet as the crew travelled from town-to-town on their spring 2017 UK tour, Cass booted the door clean off in a rage over being ribbed. There was no such prank - but clumsy Cass' bog bother rendered it out of action for all the other travelling performers as well as leaving WWE with an unexpected damage bill.
