Big Cass

[4.0] "Big Cass' best place in wrestling is being the heavy for a smaller heel or smaller babyface. It worked regardless of which company he did it in. Outside of that he just kind of exists. There's a reason he's failed as a major singles star in all 3 U.S. based companies. He's not a disaster in the ring but he's also nothing special and doesn't have the level of talent needed to make people excited to watch his matches."

[6.0] "Oh, damn. He made it back to WWE? Good for him. He always seemed a little wooden, but I didn't hate him being around. Looks like he'll have an uphill battle from here, can't say I blame booking on that."

[3.0] "Big Cass's entire wrestling personality, right now, is that he's big. That's it. Other than his big size for smaller wrestlers to get through, all he offers is sloppiness in the ring. Maybe there's room for improvement, which I doubt, but as it stands, his return to WWE is mind boggling."

"Big cass impressed me alot he is so skilled in ring for a 7Foot tall if I was running wwe I would put the world title on him he has everything a monster heel superstar needs"

"I don't know why he was rehired, when he enters an area he sucks out all the chraisma in the building. He's not that skilled or entertaining yet people praise him so much. I genuinely don't even feel like watching raw anymore because of him. WWE let go of Asuka, Ilja, Sheamus and the new day because they couldn't afford to pay them, but hired this guy. It just doesn't really make sense at all. The controversy also included."

[3.0] "I do not understand any praise for this guy and think his recent return is completely unnecessary. He and Amore were never interesting characters and seem to be total scumbags outside the ring so I cannot help but skip whenever this guy comes around. Also had a terrible match against Eddie Kingston in AEW, had some work in TNA which is a company I never watch, and now is back in WWE."

[2.0] "He's not that guy, he's just a big guy, highly mediocre in the ring and very boring, I think that AEW should just give up with the guy, I don't see the point with trying, free Bryan Keith from the Big Bill prision."

[5.0] "Also for outside stuff I wasn't the biggest Big Bill supporter, and hasn't been currently if I am being truthful. But, he is kinda decent man. The Enzo & Cass stuff was actually pretty unique, a young guy who gets beat the shit out of him and a big guy that beats the shit out of everyone is not a common pairing in PW at all. And his AEW stuff has been quite decent overall. He is okay, fine. I can forgive him for the outside stuff, I guess it wasn't that gross."

[6.0] "He has improved a lot these last couple years! I can't say I was much into him in WWE (outside of him and Enzo in NXT) but he's made a solid name for himself in AEW."

[8.0] "He's truly rebuilt himself. His work in Impact solidified his redemption and being a future world champion. Sure, he needs some work in-ring, but you can't blame that on him, he is 7 feet tall. I think his AEW run has been average, being paired with Jericho kinda held him and Bryan Keith back a little, but I hope he bounces back and soon becomes a singles champion for the first time in his career"

[6.0] "Big Bill has definitely improved over the years, especially since joining AEW. He's always had the size and presence, but his confidence and in-ring work feel a lot smoother now than they did back in his WWE days. Still not the most dynamic worker out there, but he plays his role well as a powerhouse and has found a solid groove in tag teams. Would love to see him in more meaningful singles storylines."

[7.0] "[6.9] It's absolutely insane to me how much Big Bill has improved over the last few years. He's gone from someone who's greatest claim to fame other than teaming with Simon Gotch's favorite walking abortion for the longest time was somehow stinking out the joint with Bryan Danielson to being a legitimately fun to watch big guy. He did suffer for a decent length of time by association with a Chris Jericho smack in the middle of Jericho doing far and away the worst work of his career, but in spite of that, he got over and is now doing really good teaming with Bryan Keith. Genuinely a really good redemption."

[1.0] "Big Cass was everything wrong with WWE's obsession with size over substance. Tall? Sure. Intimidating? Not really. He moved like a folding chair and cut promos like he just discovered vowels. His solo run after splitting from Enzo Amore was dead on arrival -- a charisma black hole with forced tough-guy energy and no ring IQ to back it up. WWE tried to sell him as a monster heel, but he couldn't wrestle a convincing match if his life depended on it. Even Daniel Bryan couldn't carry his sorry ass to anything passable -- and if Bryan Danielson can't get a decent match out of you, you don't belong on TV. And let's not forget the backstage attitude. Petty heat, ego issues, blowing chances left and right -- how do you mess up being 7 feet tall in Vince McMahon's playground? Yet Cass managed. Whether it was going off-script or just not having the damn talent, he tanked every opportunity handed to him. Big guy, bigger disappointment. Tall for nothing. A walking missed opportunity who proved height can't cover dead weight."

[7.0] "I am usually not a fan of big wrestlers due to their lack of character and mobility but "Big Bill" is a fresh new take on the "Big Guy" gimmick characters. He was bit over shadowed by EnZo in WWE but I am glad to see that he is getting his own space in AEW."

[5.0] "While not as talented on the mic as those around him like Enzo Amore, he is still a fairly decent promo. For a big man he moves reasonably well and does about what you'd expect. Nothing exceptional but nothing awful either. He just exists"

[8.0] "Talk about a comeback. Dude went from basically unwatchable to one of my favorite parts of AEW's mid-card. Can't wait to see where he goes from here. His break away from Jericho is gonna make him into a hopefully big deal and potentially even push him to the main events."

[7.0] "This guy seems to be improving despite the low ratings on this site, and despite what people say about his stable with Chris Jericho. Big Bill isn't your classic big man, as he's more quick and explosive. It seems to be a trend for him to form tag teams where he's the powerhouse performing alongside a smaller, more agile partner. His physique has also become very impressive, making him look like a very big threat to his opponents."

[7.0] "Big Bill is one of the redemption stories that I love. A huge project for the WWE, not an incredible talent in the ring but an appearance that only detonates his horrible behavior to ruin everything but he has changed. He took time and redeemed himself in the eyes of all until his arrival at AEW. There he is far from being the best in the ring, on the microphone or otherwise but he is popular and is always very well used. A wrestler that I always like to see evolve in a team or solo, he is in the ideal role for him and AEW uses him very well."

[6.0] "Dude is a great big man and the way he rebuilt himself is impressive. Hated his WWE stuff but the indie stuff and aew have been good. The current aew run with Jericho is a little annoying but it's not his fault he got paired with Jericho. Need a good solo run"

[7.0] "Big Bill is one of the best comeback stories in recent wrestling memory. He went from getting fired from WWE after a terrible singles run and suffering from some serious mental and addiction issues to being a beloved and really entertaining big man on the indies/AEW. He's had some really good, though short lived tag teams with the likes of Lee Moriarty and Ricky Starks and had a really good main event run in TNA. Though his recent gimmick with Jericho hasn't been that great, I'm still hopeful for Bill's future in AEW."

[9.0] "Big guy who can actually move around. He's in great shape, and has shown to be charismatic. I genuinely think he could be a main event talent that would get over. You can hear the crowd naturally inclined to cheer him. He's really had a massive glowup these past few years or so."

[6.0] "Dude is getting so much better and really is growing. Want to see more from him in the future, but he's got a great look, has really worked on his physicality, and can definitely go for a guy who is 6'10. Looking forward to seeing him continue to grow as a TV presence, and think he went from someone I was never very into into a guy who is a legit good hand in a wrestling promotion."

[7.0] "Big Bill did excellent work as William Morrissey in TNA and was part of a very popular tag team act with Enzo in WWE. His early AEW career was forgettable, but he's shown some moments of brilliance here and there since then. He's also doing better than most stuck with the Jericho Vortex."

[7.0] "he improved both in terms of match and promo wise so i have to praise his effort to thrive as an individual wrestler here. Good look too, really slimed down and maintain his stature is crazy."

[6.0] "Big Bill is alright to me. He was somewhat overshadowed in his team with Enzo Amore in WWE and his WWE singles run was bad. He was pretty good in Impact. In AEW he has worked well as the Firm's muscle but has not shown any signs of breaking out. Was never a fan of him on the mic so having a manager is a good thing."

[6.0] "I never gave Big Bill the time of day, but recently the guy absolutely convinced me that he can be a pretty good and solid powerhouse, he's got some great and stiff moves, can do the character work pretty well and also talk extremely well on the microphone."

[6.0] "Big Cass in 2018 wasn't not a...very good worker, maybe because of his personal issues but i remember him doing an average match against one of the greatest of all time, Bryan Danielson/Daniel Bryan. His team with Enzo Amore wasn't that bad, they were over and pretty charismatic but unfortunately before their break up they got stale. Fortunately, he had a second chance and now as Big Bill he's a good worker, he won't give you a 5 star classic but he does the work well and has a fun tag team with Ricky Starks."

[8.0] "10/7/23 - While I was originally surprised to see him leave a supposed high spot on Impact's card to start fresh in AEW, Big Bill as he's now known has only further proven he means business. On the back of looking great, talking great, & working great he's gone from just the big guy in a do-nothing heel stable to a tag team champion in a little over a year, turning in better and better performances. Big Bill's a revelation, and I suspect that if I make another comment on him in 2025 he'll have fully realized his potential. 2/21/22 - I want to give this dude the credit he's due: he deserves a Most Improved 2021-2022 award, if not at least being a frontrunner. Big Cass in NXT was just a dude there to make a hot tag and be tall until then. Big Cass on the WWE main roster was a lame duck monster heel that could barely be dragged to *** matches by the best professional wrestler in the world. Caz XL on the indies was every other ex-WWE midcarder that thinks they're hot shit. But W. Morrissey? W. Morrissey fucking rules. His work in Impact with the new name has been consistently good, with match after match that blows his prior work out of the water on top of getting his look and promos together and being able to work a crowd both heel and face. He's not having classics, not at all, but with a guy this big to have good matches consistently and connect with a crowd is a great asset for any company, and Impact has helped him come into his own. He could very easily become world championship material within a year, and that's a far cry from being the hot tag in a semi-comedy midcard act."

[8.0] "I've always felt very highly of William Morrisey, I just like him WAY better as a Face then I do as a Heel. Seems like it's been a long time since he's been a Face. But he's transitioned well, especially through all the different changes Khan has already put on him."

[8.0] "A very good big man. he is underrated in the ring, as he can move very good. he has good extra ring skills, entertaining on mic and can also have some good comedy moments. I loved his tag team with Enzo, but i think now he got even better, and i'm happy he's finding his place in AEW."

[8.0] "Big Cass was a giant dork in WWE. I caught clips of his Impact run and he looked more serious and dominant. Since joining AEW he's gone from strength to strength. First off, he looks terrific nowadays. Intimidating presence. The Firm were a bit of a joke but his tag team with Lee Moriarty was solid. However, I really like some of the face offs he's had with other big dudes and his current tag team with Brian Cage is very enjoyable."

[8.0] "Way, way back in the day, when he was in a team with Enzo, I was a huge fan of both, and I really thought they would be the next big tag team. Obviously, that didn't work out. If I were to rate him as a wrestler back then, he'd get a 4. Since then, he has drastically improved. He has a great look, and is a rare example of a big man who is pretty good in the ring. If you were to tell me during the Enzo and Cass days that Cass would be the most successful, I would think you're insane. His current rating is way, way out of date. I'm really hoping it changes soon."

[8.0] "Big Bill is excelling in AEW, his charisma is really showing and his ring work is improving well. Big Bill has been a fun part of the tag division and even shines with different partners. I need to see more singles work but he has really impressed me."

[7.0] "When Enzo and Cass broke up, people were flabbergasted when they realized that Cass was going to get the push and not Enzo. Several years later, Big Bill has proven the haters wrong. Has worked hard to get into great shape and I really like how he is portrayed in AEW. Has really improved his in ring ability. Can be a big star in the future, but people say that about like 30 different AEW guys. All he needs is a little bit of a push, and if I were Tony Khan, I'd give it to him. Dude is a stud."

[6.0] "One of AEW's most underrated wrestlers in my opinion and plays a great big guy heel and is a great defeatable 'undefeatable' giant. His tag team with Enzo in WWE was comedy to me as a kid and should've definitely had a run with the tag straps. However his singles run in WWE and work outside WWE and AEW were not the best. If booked correctly could get a big push an maybe midcard belt? I can see me updating his rating up in the future. Keep up the good work Bill!"

[10.0] "Big Bill is a dominating force in the ring and he's destined for championships. I would also prefer W. Morrissey instead of Big Bill, but overall, really good in the ring"

[3.0] "So boring so stale and absolutely no character. He was on the verge of getting a big push and he got injured. I feel bad that he was injured but I wasn't really behind him getting a huge push, maybe a secondary Championship reign but wouldn't want to watch him as the main guy. Shame though that his wrestling ability leaves a lot to be desire, he could have been a great wrestler considering his size and athletic abilities."

"I don't know much about him but if you call yourself "Big Bill" in the year 2023 you automatically deserve a 0 (couldn't give it because cagematch won't let me)"

[5.0] "Clearly worked very hard to turn himself around and now he's in magnificent shape. Looks like everything you'd want in a wrestler. Only passable in the ring and on the mic but he can get around that just with his star quality. Could easily have a very good future."

[9.0] "The guy has grown so much. Not in height of course but in skill. During his WWE run, I would have given him a 3 or a 4 but his look, his promo and his in-ring work has improved so tremendously that he doesn't even need Enzo to carry him on the microphone anymore. He could easily have a great run as a top guy solo in WWE if he ever gets to return. Seriously one of the most impressive improvements I have ever seen in a wrestler and he is easily the best thing to come from Impact since Galloway. He is currently in my top 10 wrestlers outside of WWE after his Impact run."

[7.0] "W. Morrissey is a hard man to rate. His promo skills, when at their high, are great but regularly struggle to be anything good. He's a good worker in the ring but has a lack of stand out performances. He's got a great look but nothing that puts him above other giants in wrestling. Despite all this though, Morrissey remains as a constantly entertaining character. When he was Big Cass in NXT/WWE, his work with Enzo was nothing short of absolutely genius. They were over with the crowd and were constantly cheered, Morrissey's entertaining factor helping that. In iMPACT, Morrissey was a stand-out in the division and put on entertaining matches. Had he not been such an entertaining persona, he'd likely find himself at a 5.0. But as a wrestler with a large upside and massive entertainment potential, I feel he's earned 2 more points."

[8.0] "The rating is highly outdated, as Morrissey has had one of the best improvements a wrestler has ever had. So happy for him for getting his life out the trench, and I'm loving his work in Impact currently."

[8.0] "The biggest improvement I've ever seen a wrestler do in his carreer. Also, his growth as a human being and shapewise are just beyond words. Also of of the most believable babyfaces out there right now."

[5.0] "First off, massive props to him for getting in a better place. It isn't easy to confront those problems and Morrisey has come back through looking better than ever. Now, as a wrestler, he just seems to be average. He has a nice look as a tall and muscular guy, I'm sure he'll have success in Impact, but nothing makes me want to see his work."

[7.0] "If you only saw his latter day WWE era work, and his stuff in the Indy's following it I wouldn't blame you for thinking this guy ain't too good. That being said, based on what I've seen, W. Morrissey AKA Big Cass has managed to utterly reinvent himself in Impact as a top heel. It would genuinely seem that Cass/Morrissey has reinvigorated himself and he deserves all the props for that, especially considering the shape he's in, knowing how he was doing only 3 years ago. Hope his run of dominance continues."

[6.0] "Cass or w. Morrissey is an okay wrestler that looks good with enough charisma combined with a good writing you can get something out of him, of course his comeback story was inspirational and he's doing okay in impact and he might rehired by the wwe after all."

[5.0] "He was carried by Enzo Amore during his time at NXT and the main roster. During his solo run he was pretty boring. His In-Ring talent was pretty mid."

[5.0] "Big Cass (in wwe) was just another attempt to make a big boy powerhouse, but like the other attempts he had many shortcomings, little micro and a moderately good ability in the ring, the best thing he did in wwe was his tag team with Enzo Amore and they never got anything relevant."

[6.0] "I thought he was crap in WWE but found I have quite enjoyed his work in impact. He is never going to have blow away matches you go out of your way to see but his character work is good."

[4.0] "I wouldn't be so harsh on Caz/Cass: considering his large size and frame, he's not exactly built for high-workrate bouts. I can't really judge him on people far smaller considering it's a lot easier to pull off that spotfest style that the crowd loves with less weight to throw around. Cass was the heavylifter of his tag team with Enzo, having to do the big comeback and basically most of the actual wrestling, considering Enzo was green as grass and could really only sell effectively (half the time anyway) but he was a confident talker in the ring, could have a basic and safe match, and could have worked as a lower card heel with some tuning-up. Unfortunately a combination of bad management, his own attitude problems and personal issues meant that he couldn't be relied upon to do this role, and now he's basically running the indies. Having heard what happened to him I hope he puts that behind him and works on himself, but as a wrestler he still needs a good bit of work. Naturally he's limited by the size being a issue but I'm confident he can and will get better as time goes on."
