Orange Cassidy: The AEW World Championship Represents What Professional Wrestling Should Be

Orange Cassidy talks about the top of the mountain.

While talking to B.J. Lisko for Youngstown Studio, Orange Cassidy was asked about what it would mean for him to win the AEW World Championship. A title he has not won in All Elite Wrestling, however, he is a former AEW International Champion where he elevated the status with weekly defenses against the best wrestlers who wanted to step up to the plate. Here is what OC had to say about the World Championship.

“AEW World Champion, to me, represents professional wrestling, and I feel that it represents what professional wrestling should be, can be, is, and to wear that championship, it means that you are the best wrestler in the world. So it’s something I never thought I would try to attain. I wrestled for it one other time, it was right after the pandemic, it was Double or Nothing [2021], and I wrestled against Kenny Omega and PAC in a triple threat, and I pretty much had the match won, but Don Callis ruined that for me, like he does everything else in my life, and I never saw myself in that position. I think I just didn’t want it, I don’t know,” Cassidy said.

Cassidy and the AEW roster now have to band together and take out the Blackpool Combat Club who want to take full control of All Elite Wrestling.
