The “Freshly Squeezed” one is ready to change the perception wrestling fans have of him.
During a recent interview on Busted Open Radio, Orange Cassidy spoke about being ready to change people’s perception of him, and how fans are generally thrown off by something new.
Featured below are some of the highlights from the interview where he touches on this topic with his thoughts.
On how he is ready to change people’s perception about him: “I think I will change peopleโs perception but they will never admit it. How many people on Twitter will be like, โYou know what? I was wrong.โ Maybe a couple of people, but weโre talking less than 10%. Thatโs okay. I donโt care. If you donโt like me and you donโt like what Iโm doing, and you donโt appreciate what Iโm doing, thatโs fine. Iโm not going to stop doing what I want to do. Iโm not going to stop wrestling the way I wrestle because thatโs what I do.”
On how fans are so used to tradition that something new throws them off: “Thatโs always going to be a problem, right? Because people are familiar with being comfortable. Usually, people like tradition and routine. Iโm not saying everybody. When something gets broken or something is new. Itโs like, โThatโs not what I like. Thatโs not what Iโve watched before.โ It can take some time to get different styles. Itโs funny you keep saying people have adapted to me and my style. I donโt like to think anybody has to adapt to my wrestling style.”
