Orange Cassidy feels like he’s done 16 breakthrough matches.
OC isn’t one to usually complain, and his entire character revolves around him being lazy and reserved. But when its time to turn it on, he may be one of the most talented wrestlers on the AEW roster.
During a roundtable interview at San Diego Comic-Con, via Absolute Geek Podcast, Cassidy discussed his match with Ospreay and noted that he “tried a little harder” because he wanted to remind everyone about what he can do in the ring.
“Well, I was hurt for a very long time. I had a type III AC separation in my left shoulder, and it hurt real bad, so I couldn’t really wrestle for a while. Then it’s like okay, and I decided to come back and wrestle Will Ospreay. I tried a little harder than I usually do in that match, especially because I, I don’t know. I don’t need to prove anything to anybody, but I know I can. Every now and then, I like to show everybody and remind everybody what I can do when I feel like it. I have that luxury to just turn it on when I want to. I think I’m the only person that’s like 16 breakout matches because I get that every single time I have a wrestling match. It’s like people forgot, so I just wanted to remind everybody this is who Orange Cassidy was, and I think I was able to do that. I would have liked to win, but he’s pretty good,”

Cassidy vs Ospreay was seen as the match of Forbidden Door on a night where every match delivered. Since then Cassidy has had several wins and has reunited with Best Friends.
