Cass man from one addict to another congrats on the time. One part you can add to you story is after the first rehab there was no relapse, my sponsor taught me there is no relapse without recovery, if you get out of treatment and get high immediately that's just you kept using. I know that cause it's part of my story too. So proud of you man I'm greatful we have someone in the real recovery in the spotlight 🙏 if you haven't heard Anyone tell you yet today(if you read this) I love you brother....thank you

I get the gimmick but its implying that you got sober all on your own, and its devaluing the jobs of people and companies making a living guiding people to sobriety. It's almost like a school teacher guiding children to a successful life full of knowledge, can't teach that. Here's your participation awards, welcome to the shit show.

Cass is a good guy who has problems just like all of us. Wish him all the best. Another terrific interview by CVV.

@@usmzn he’s a racist cuz he supports trump? A little assumptive of you. Anyone can have an opinion how they think a country should be run. Like me, all trump did for me was keep more money in my pocket in supporting my family, hence why I supported him. Taking care of ourselves and loved ones should be our #1 priority. And how is he a racist? Did he say something? I’d like to know.

Big Cass was kind enough back in 2017 to mail my teacher (who is friends with his mom) an autographed picture for me. It was a surprise from my teacher for me but I couldn’t believe Cass took the time out of his day back in WWE to do all that. Seeing him successful is so good to see. Thank you Cass

Someone close to me came from a really bad place and is now doing really well for themself. I am legitimately so proud of them, but they don't always see it. I think it's easy to focus on everything that went wrong and not see who you have become in spite of all of that.

For all the crap Enzo and Cass got as a tag team, I truly believe that Cass can be something special if he can stay clean and sober & overcome his personal demons.

They were so over too. Even though they split i think a lot of people forget he was one of the 4 guys in the Fatal Four way match to determine the new Universal Champion after Finn was forced to relinquish the belt due to injury. The match Cass was in was when Kevin Owens won that night. That was a great year for WWE. SDLive was on fire that year too.

Best interview in the more recent choices of this channel. Really almost shedded a tear when he brought up how Lexy was the one who saw something special and redeemable over himself. Wonderful interview, Chris.

As someone who's mother is recovering addict going on 11 years clean this March hearing this story makes me beyond happy.

He is a great guy, AND YOU CAN'T TEACH THAT

Great REAL interview. Chris asked the right questions. Some questions were therapeutic and sincere like "what did she see in you". That allowed cass to talk and reflect on POSITIVE emotions. THIS IS SUCH GREAT SHIT.

I always liked Big Cass. But now I love him. Rooting for you champ.

Just seeing him cry broke my heart I'm proud of what he's accomplished this was an amazing interview Chris.

The biggest lie that you’ll ever tell yourself, and others, is that you can put that bottle down anytime that you want to. Then, when no one is around, reality slaps you in the face as you see yourself in the mirror, with the bottle in your hand, and come to realize that you can’t LEAVE it there. I suffer from a seriously severe Traumatic Brain Injury from 1999 caused by a careless driver that almost killed me. Addiction is a very serious problem that haunts people in my condition and is something that my family and I have to guard against for the rest of my life. I struggle with this on a daily basis and am SO IMMENSELY PROUD of you and all of the work that you’re putting into both your sobriety, and your LIFE. You keep up the great work my friend.

Great interview, Chris!

This is by far the best interview you have done. Big Cass is amazing for tell his truth. A lot of people are afraid to tell there truth. ( I am 10 years sober.)

he's gained so many fans through all of this and its one of the coolest things Ive ever seen. he had the balls and the compassion for others going through similar shit mentally to speak out and instead of being mocked he's been embraced for it as he should be. I dont think that he'll have any issue finding work and I think he'll shine wherever he goes.

gotta consider how much wwe played into this mans health at his worst. With the amount of traveling and shows they do, he was probably so injured and you know they dont give days off love cass man

It’s really cool and nice how every time he said it was embarrassing or got emotional you made sure to make him not feel that way just for this almost hour and who knows how long you actually talked. You Can see that cass really appreciated you and the words you said.

I can totally relate. I unfortunately lost my father 16 years ago to an alcohol addiction who couldn't beat his demons. So when I hear that others are beating this addiction is amazing. To top it off seeing someone who I'm a fan of someone's talent as a wrestler makes it so much better. Wish cass all the best and keep fighting the good fight 💪 to you CVV great interview as always huge fan with your work heres to many more amazing interviews 😁

Chris, can I just say you handled the most emotional portion with so much poise, support, and encouragement. It was encouraging to see. Let Cass know there are a lot of people with him, behind him, cheering him on.

Amazing that Cass beat all his demons to become a better person!! Leaving the dark places is not as easy as one may think!!

🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥 interview. Cazxl is going to be a huge star if he goes back to WWE or other companies. He is so inspirational on how not everyone is perfect, people make mistakes and that part when he got emotional, it brought a tear to my eye, he is a good human

You got this Cass my mom was an addict to heroine for over 40yrs and before she passed away she was 8yrs clean so keep on grinding big homie and know "IT WORKS IF YOU WORK IF YOU WORK IT IT'S WORTH IT"

I'm rooting for him. Not in the ring -- in life. I wish him all the best in his journey and his fight with addiction.

Huge props to Cass and thank you Chris for giving him a chance to tell his story. Wish him all the best, the potential is huge! Personally, I'd love to see him in Japan.

Big respects to William here. Freaking proud of him.

I had my own battle with addiction, been clean over 10 years now, you have to take it one day at a time. I'm proud of Cass for coming on to talk about his fight with addiction, him talking about it will defintely have an impact and I wish him all the best in his recovery.

I’m so thankful for this interview. Chris really is the best in the biz and the emotion and storytelling you pulled out of big cass was magic

Chris, you’re undoubtedly the best interview in the biz my man. Great job sir. 👌🙏🏻

I've watched a majority of your interviews and this is one of the best and most touching. Big respect to Cass and pleased he is talking about it and has come so far. Hope to see more of him soon!

This is one of the best interviews I’ve ever seen, great to see cass is doing well, great to see him open up emotionally on here 🙏🏾🙏🏾 hope he continues to shine!!

Has to be one of your best interviews Chris! Very emotional and inspirational! LOVED IT!

This was a great interview... I didn't see it as an interview with Big Cass more so as an interview with William. Thanks so much for another stellar interview and I can't wait to see what's next for Cass.

I know I'm late to comment here, but man oh man we are so proud of you Big Cass. It's really hard to put into words, but speaking about your experience and continuing to do so is such an amazing thing. Keep being well, it's inspiring to say the least.

Thanks chris van for not just a great interview but helping bring awareness to addiction an mental health

Another great interview by C V V. Cass thanks for sharing your story and cannot wait to see what you bring for the up and coming years!

Came back to this video. Huge respect to both you Chris and Cass. To Cass for opening up about his addiction and sticking with recovery and to you Chris for handling the subject matter incredibly well. As someone who is a recovering addict for something else, this interview is incredibly powerful for how many times I watched it and even though we have different addictions, how many times I noticed Cass and I were going through similar things

Chris this one is an instant classic. Im a recovering addict myself. That being said I am just so happy for him. Im so proud of him just for being proud of himself. I cried with him every time but happy for him. We're all damaged or flawed in all sorts of ways but I'm just so thankful we didn't lose him to addiction bc this big spinning turd called earth is a better place with you here brother. My new favorite episode. Thank you both Caz & chris

Man! This was tough. Kudos to Chris for holding it up and keep the interview flows. Congrats to Big Cass for turning his life for the better.

Love you Cass. Tears were shed on my end too. Glad to see you healthy and I can't wait to see you wrestle again.

Big Cass is in Impact Wrestling! So happy for him! :D

Wonderful interview Chris... so insightful and refreshingly honest 🙌🏽

I remember seeing stories about Big Cass spiralling out of control and feared the worst you eventually happen but so glad he's been able to turn his life around.

Another beautiful interview. I admire Cass so much for his strength and determination to overcome his addiction. Thanks again for your relaxed but incisive questions and responses.

Another brilliant interview I think. It got deep, and covered so much more too. Thanks Chris, and congratulations on the recovery and built-up momentum Cass

Such an amazing interview! I’m so glad you just let your guests speak and not cut them off. It’s so refreshing compared to other people.

Cass seems to be a big dude with a big heart.

Well cass I will add my part and say I’m 9 yrs sober from pill addiction. It’s amazing to hear u speak about the first time u went to rehab. Cuz honestly that’s exactly how a lot of us thought. The only time it will work is when u yourself are ready and done with that life. If there is one thing I do to this day is talk about my addiction and trying to help others man. Congrats and keep fighting the good fight bro

This is my favorite interview you’ve done Chris. I did t know Cass like this I can relate to him I’ve had seizures, plenty . I am really happy and proud of Cass . I’m rooting for him
