Orange Cassidy wishes his run with the Best Friends went longer.
This past year, the faction of the Best Friends which consisted of Orange Cassidy, Trent Beretta, Chuck Taylor, and Kris Statlander broke apart when tensions were built and the group couldn’t resolve them.
While speaking to Stephanie Chase, OC was asked about the end of the Best Friends and how he hoped to see them have a much different run than the one they had in AEW.
“It was difficult because I have been around Trent and Chuck, for the majority of my career, and to not have them with me does feel like I’m in some of type of weird, uncharted territory. Even when I came to AEW, they were AEW. Anywhere I go, they were always there, so I always had that comfort. Now that they’re gone, it is a little strange, and when you get isolated and you feel alone, you don’t like to open up and whatever, but I was like, I’m gonna start talking to people, and I found Kyle O’Reilly, I found Mark Briscoe, who were all kind of going through the same thing that I was going through. Now, we’re kind of together. So wherever I go, they go. I’m very needy [laughs]. I need people around me,” Cassidy said.
I think it was cut way too short. Since we’re here, last year in Wembley, I think we finally got our big moment, the Best Friends, when we were standing tall, after that Stadium Stampede match, we were all three of us in the ring, in front of all those fans, it felt like this is gonna be the start of us on the uprise, and it actually had the opposite effect, which is a bummer. But never say never, I hope,” Cassidy said.
OC is currently involved in a feud with the leader of the Learning Tree, Chris Jericho.
