I haven’t been fully following the story. Was the seizure drug related? I thought I read that it wasn’t but based on the comments I’m reading here, I’m thinking maybe I misread. As someone who has had seizures I do sympathize, especially if this wasn’t drug related. You do have to live a more careful lifestyle. However, one great line my doctor had was “epilepsy isn’t a death sentence.” As long as I take my medication, eat right, get enough sleep, and manage my weight, I can live a pretty normal life. I’m very active in the gym, I can have a drink every now and then, I can party here and there. The key to managing seizures (I’m talking from 15 years of experience) seems to be managing your stress levels and keeping your mind sharp. If you are epileptic, your body needs strength to fight off possible seizures. If the seizure is drug or alcohol related, then you’re just doing it to yourself. However, WWE has helped many in the past seek help and I’m sure he’d have the same resources available if he sought help. Tommy Dreamer stated it was not drug related.

Reading through this thread made me think I did. People are making it seem like he had a seizure because of choices he made. In my case, it was something that was dormant in my brain that didn’t trigger until I was older. That could be the case for him. Or it could be stress related. That recent picture of him didn’t look like he was in great shape physically. Maybe he had let himself go and started to work extra hard to get back into shape. Maybe he wasn’t getting enough sleep. Maybe he got knocked in the head or ate something weird. The weirdest stuff can trigger you. I’m still surprised I’m completely fine when I see Nakamura live with all those strobe lights.

Yeah Dreamer said it wasn't Drug related and seizures can happen at any time, and can be an isolated incident. A friend of mine had a seizure when he was in his young teens, never had another one it was hard for him to get his truck / lorry license because the doctors couldn't say he would never have another seizure as they didn't find the cause of the first one.

A friend of mine had a seizure when he was in his young teens, never had another one it was hard for him to get his truck / lorry license because the doctors couldn't say he would never have another seizure as they didn't find the cause of the first one. What’s really interesting about how weird they are is I had one big one when I was a teen. It turned out through tests that I was having them every day for about a year and not even realizing it. For a long time, I didn’t have anymore noticeable ones but scans were showing that I was having small ones. My doctor basically explained that the types of seizures I was getting lasted a split second and they were really only bad if they happened and I lost my balance, because it usually ended up with me hitting my head. Then after getting on medication I went on a 12 year stretch without another. Then stress, unhealthy eating, and heavier drinking from my last job lead to me having 3 big ones in a 4 month period. I changed doctors after my old doctor was showing signs of being really careless. My new doctor looked at my records and informed me that the dosage of my medication was so low it was like I wasn’t taking anything for years. He also informed me that it was a medication barely used in the industry anymore. One of the side effects of that stuff was weight gain, and being heavier made the medication less effective. We eventually got the new mix right and I got in the gym regularly. I’m almost 3 years seizure free at the moment. I was at first highly against Daniel Bryan returning after hearing he had suffered a few seizures. However, since coming back, he does seem to not have missed a step, and I’ve noticed how much more clear headed I am when I’m in better shape. I think Big Cass will need to look at diet and good stretching, and he’ll need to track his progress with doctors over time to see if he can get back in the ring after a while. I know in NY the rule I was told was that I had to be 6 months seizure free before I could even drive again.

Because he made mistakes. nobody on earth is perfect. I'd for one, would like to see him return. He’s right though WWE shouldn’t hire Cass back just he had a seizure. Cass himself said WWE had every right to fire him for how he acted backstage and that he wants to prove himself changed to get hired back. Maybe but still don't be so harsh and judgmental on someone having personal issues they need support for.

he’s got to prove his value - I see absolutely no validation for a job based on sympathy. What you wrote is applied to life in general. If an employer fires you for not being professional, they shouldn't hire you back based on sympathy. While I feel bad for Big Cass but he should let this ordeal teach him a lesson. Learn to be more professional, develop positive relationships with your peers, and have the ability to take advice and get better. Last I heard, Carmella wants nothing to do with him based on alleged incidences. I could say more but I wish Big Cass well. He may have admitted blame but Don't judge someone for having deep seated issues they need help and support for unless you've been there before.

Drug/alcohol related seizures most commonly happen during withdrawal period, which at worst, if anything, means he was trying to kick something. Regardless of the reason glad to see he's okay

So he had a seizure and he should be hired back?
I mean, I’m glad he’s okay, seizures suck (both of my parents have epilepsy) but let’s not go off the wall here making the guy or to be something he ain’t.
He got fired for a very good reason, having one seizure doesn’t undo that.

Maybe but still don't be so harsh and judgmental on someone having personal issues they need support for. No one is being judge mental. Everyone on here has said they hope he’s alright and is able to get whatever treatment he needs for the seizure. We’re just saying just because he had a seizure doesn’t mean WWE should hire him back. And I’m pretty sure Cass himself wouldn’t want to be rehired out of pity.

It's bad that he has had a seizure but that doesn't change the fact he was one of the worst wrestlers of the past decade.
