Top AEW star Orange Cassidy spoke with SportsKeeda WrestleBinge on a number of topics, including if he is an old school wrestler at heart.
Cassidy said, โVery much so. And itโs โ when some of those old-school wrestler types say that Iโm not respecting the business or respecting professional wrestling, I tend to think theyโve never seen me wrestle and they donโt know what theyโre talking about.โ
On if there was anyone he looked up to growing up that made him want to get into wrestling and emulate:
โNo, I didnโt really look up to one individual. I think I looked at the different styles of professional wrestling, and and how it evoked emotion, and how itโs live entertainment where you get involved as a fan. And I really found it fascinating that there are so many different types of professional wrestling all around the world. And I wanted to learn as many as I couldโฆ I never wanted to be like anybody, I enjoyed โ obviously I enjoyed it because I watched it โ but there was never one person I wanted to emulate. I knew in order to stand out, Iโd have to be unique.โ
