I had no idea Big Cass was now blacklisted by a lot of promotions. Sadly, wrestling doesn't really seem to give a care about mental health. It's not been structured to be able to. Outside WWE and maybe AEW, they're all independent contractors, meaning there's no overarching organisation with the resources for outreach and care for wrestlers in terms of either physical or mental health. Apart from the Cauliflower Alley Club, I can't think of any organisations that might be well-positioned to offer that sort of help. WWE and AEW probably can, but in WWE's case they've demonstrated that they'll do that for people on an arbitrary basis, either for current talent they're well-disposed towards, or former talent who did well with them, and AEW have made good noises, but haven't been around long enough to really show if they'll suit their actions to their words.

WyattSheepMask Posted September 16, 2019 Share Posted September 16, 2019 Do WWE still offer rehab for past performers? I know he’s pretty much burnt his bridge as far going back as a performer goes, but a stint in a facility could help him in a big way Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paid Members mim731 Posted September 26, 2019 Paid Members Share Posted September 26, 2019 https://www.theguardian.com/sport/2019/sep/26/rob-gronkowski-was-dangerously-wrong-when-he-says-cte-is-fixable The Guardian have a story about CTE/ Rob Gronkowski which features Chris Nowinski pretty heavily. Aside from the Nowinski connection, this also feels very relevant to wrestling in more general terms. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members tiger_rick Posted September 26, 2019 Paid Members Share Posted September 26, 2019 Mike Johnson reporting that "John Morrison" has re-signed with WWE. Interesting one. Always liked him originally and he was good in Lucha Underground. Lowered himself working for some bottom feeders though when he could/should have been back in WWE.

Cannibal Man Posted September 26, 2019 Share Posted September 26, 2019 (edited) Honestly always thought he was a void of charasima staring into an abyss of shite and dull in the ring. But then that's why I didn't follow him once he got off. Has he got better since? Edited September 26, 2019 by Cannibal Man Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's far worse working in WWE every week. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd be well up for him and Miz having another run as the best team in WWE. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members Bellenda Carlisle Posted September 26, 2019 Paid Members Share Posted September 26, 2019 I'm happy to see JoMo back for a bit. It's how it should be, I'd certainly be bored of him if he'd never left like Dolph Ziggler but I've got nothing against him having another run after ages away to see if anything works.
