During an interview on the AEW Unrestricted podcast, AEW President Tony Khan put over Orange Cassidy. Check out what he said below:
"If you look back to 2019, a lot of people donāt remember this. Before there was a Death Triangle and before there was the idea of PAC and the Lucha Brothers vs. Orange Cassidy and The Best Friends, they were already experimenting with this idea trying to set up, eventually, PAC and Orange Cassidy in the matchmaking when IĀ bookedĀ PAC and TH2 (The Hybrid 2) in a match with Orange Cassidy and The Best Friends. The idea was to put some backstory out there with PAC and Orange Cassidy for theĀ long runĀ when it was time for Orange Cassidy to finally have a singles match. But we subtly built up for a long time to his first singles match because he was either a manager or he did some six-man tags. And he was in a couple battle royals, but he hadnāt, until Revolution, ever done a singles match.
I remember inĀ KansasĀ City, I knew that one way or another after The PAC-Kenny OmegaĀ Iron ManĀ match that after they went the distance, that Orange Cassidy was going to be coming out toĀ challengeĀ PAC,ā Khan recalled. āI had told you before we did it that theyāre going toĀ chant, āHeās gonna try. Heās gonna try. Heās gonna try.ā The Best Friends are going to hit that line. TheĀ jokesĀ gonna be on PAC that heās gonna try. Just watch, itās gonna work. And at that catering table, there was some doubt at the table whether this wasĀ actuallyĀ going to work. Boy did that work really well.
An actualĀ geniusĀ of a person. If they only knew that his ideas in terms ofĀ execution, presentation [and] putting together a wrestling match. Heās such a great technician in terms of bell-to-bell wrestling, but also just in terms of the little details he puts into his character."
