AEW World Trios Champion and member of The Conglomeration, Orange Cassidy, appeared on TMZ’s Inside The Ring to discuss various topics, including his feelings about being called a comedy wrestler.
Cassidy said, “When people usually refer to me as a comedy wrestler, I do comedy wrestling, that is, like — I don’t really disagree, because that is an element that I would like to use. I was fortunate enough to be trained, and around, and wrestled with a lot of different people with a lot of different styles. And I think to me, that’s where I find my most success is that I will try to incorporate as much of every style of professional wrestling that I can into my matches, or into me and into what I what I do.”
On the risk of comedic elements in wrestling:
“It’s a risk sometimes, you know? You don’t know if it’s going to work or not. But you have to try. And I don’t care, so I’ll just try. And I keep the stuff that works and ditch the stuff that doesn’t.”
