Will Ospreay continues to praise Orange Cassidy for his in ring ability.
Speaking to Wrestle Inn, Ospreay looked back on the match with Cassidy and praised Cassidy as being a phenomenal talent.
“He’s an interesting character, no doubt about it. For me, he’s everything that I can’t stand. He’s lethargic and lazy, and I’m so extra. Look at the jacket I wear, it’s a 10,000-pound jacket. His entire costume costs like $30. That angers me. It’s probably a deep-rooted thing where, maybe, you’re earning this ridiculous sum of money that deserves to go to somebody else that I admire and I respect, (they) deserve that money. You’re getting it with your hands in your pockets? That always annoyed me, but in terms of structure, it’s down to my character can be angry and pissed off at those points, but when he needs to turn up…we all need to take a step back. Orange Cassidy is phenomenal. He understands everything about himself and knows how to play the mind games when it comes to his matches if you’re not giving him the credit where it’s due, you don’t understand what wrestling is anymore. Obviously, you have your (Jim) Cornettes and those lads who take shots and shit on him, but wrestling is a weird thing where it’s so over, why extinguish that flame? I understand so many people put their dream matches together, but I couldn’t help but think that was a pleasant surprise when I found out that was happening. To me, that was a tick in my box. You can put me against the top guy, the bottom guy, the guy with his hands in his pockets, I still walk away with the match of the night.”

Will clearly thinks Orange Cassidy is a phenomenal talent and it’s interesting how he sells the match as the pair being complete opposites. The match is regarded as the match of the night at Forbidden Door on a night where every single match on the card delivered.
