AEW star “Freshly Squeezed” Orange Cassidy, a member of The Conglomeration, appeared on The Rizzuto Show to discuss various topics, including his history with in-ring injuries.
Cassidy said, “I only stop when I get hurt. So like, I’ve taken some time off. I separated my shoulder once in 2022, type 3 AC, I got thrown out of the ring by a giant man. And I fell on my head and separated my shoulder. So, I had three months off then, but then I came back. And then I just tore my right pec a couple years ago, and I was out for like, five months, but then I’m right back at it.”
On his worst injury:
“I broke my orbital bone and my sinus on my face. That was — I mean, I don’t want to get too [gross]. I mean, I’ll just say it happened, and I broke my face. And when you rupture the sinus, the blood goes down your throat and into your stomach. I didn’t know this. So, I was very nauseous. And I went out back at the small little building we were wrestling at. And I leaned over, and my friend took a video of it. And it looked like — funny enough, around October — The Exorcist. The blood was shooting. It was just straight blood, because all of it was just going down in my stomach and it came back up.”
On dislocating his shoulder:
“My shoulder got dislocated. But when you think of a dislocation, it goes out, right? My shoulder went into my body. They had to knock me out, and the two nurses had to wrap the sheets around — like bedding sheets — around my arm while the doctor held my body, and they pulled it out.”
