Big Cass who currently works at the All Elite Wrestling under the ring name of Big Bill recently spoke to AEW Unrestricted where he talked about professional wrestling legend DDP Diamond Dallas Page and thanked him helping him throughout his career. He said;
“Dallas — sorry, DDP, Diamond Dallas Page — he is the one that pushed me in the direction of being open about it. It’s something that you want to hide, especially in sports or wrestling. It’s very ‘alpha’ mentality, you have to be tough. Those are things you don’t want to admit to anybody, especially to your peers and the public.
“I don’t think that’s very healthy. I understand the mindset, because I was in it; to kind of keep that stuff to yourself. But it’s extremely unhealthy to do that. It’s always best to speak up. Dallas told me to maybe tell my story, because even if it helps just one person… Why did I go through all this suffering or there to be no one to benefit?”
“He’s helped so many, so many people. He continues to help people. There’s a lot of people that you don’t see that he’s constantly helping. Guy’s doing the lord’s work, as some people say. He’s been a big part of my journey and obviously, I met [fiancee] Lexy [Nair] through him. So that’s a huge positive, too.”
“That’s kind of how I look at it now. I went through everything that I went through, and if I was to not share my story and not help anybody else, then what was it all for? It was all for naught. Just a lot of suffering without a payoff, without a positive in the end. So I look at as… The positive of it is me helping other people by sharing my story, giving them advice, helping them through it. That at least makes me feel like everything I went through was at least worth something.”
