William Morrissey (Big Bill) suffered a seizure back in 2018 at a WrestlePro event at the 2300 Arena in Philadelphia, PA.

On the latest edition of the “AEW Unrestricted” podcast, Morrissey discussed returning to the 2300 Arena for an Impact Wrestling event in April 2022 and how emotional it was for him. He said,

“[It was] very, very emotional. At that point in my life, in 2018, I didn’t think I’d ever be happy. It was just a horrible time for me. Very depressing, constant anxiety all day long, and drinking very, very heavily, obviously. So I was very, very miserable, and to come back to that arena, and that day as a totally different human being almost … I’m sober, I’m peaceful, I have a great girlfriend in Lexy [Nair], and I’m back in wrestling, which I love doing more than anything in the world. And to have the opportunity to be back in wrestling in the best shape of my life, I think doing the best work of my entire career, I had to take it all in.”

“Yeah, I did get emotional in the promo that night. It was a very, very special evening, and it was very positive looking forward, thinking about all of the positive blessings I had, but it was also a good reminder of where things can go, and it was a good reminder of how badly things can get. So it was a really spiritual experience, I would say, for me.”
