Wrestle Review: AEW Revolution

Freshly Squeezed

Cassidy squeezed some laughs out of PAC, PAC squeezed the life out of Cassidy in return

Orange Cassidy vs. PAC

Comedy is undoubtedly the hardest genre to perform and perfect in pro-wrestling. Though for quite a while, AEW fans have known of the comedic brilliance of Orange Cassidy; not many have witnessed it in action in its entirety. Not since perhaps The Undertaker, has there been a man with the abilities to mold his performance style to his character with absolute perfection like Cassidy. This is no exaggeration in any form.

There's no doubt from the placeholder bout between Cassidy and PAC, that the man can go in the ring. AEW's smartly had Cassidy smooth out his style to make it palatable for their fan base. Yet Orange still retained his genius ability to work, while remaining as lazy and sloth-like as possible. He tried, as the Best Friends would put it, and he did so with firebrand gusto. Check his indie work out to understand why Orange Cassidy is a long-awaited gift to comedy wrestling since Toru Yano and Santino Marella.

Similarly credit is due to PAC. Just a few days removed from his tragic loss to Omega; PAC bounced back with an energetic performance revealing new dimensions to his persona. He played along with Cassidy's powerfully soft kicks long enough to get him down and got the win with the help of some well timed distractions from the Lucha Brothers.

Result: PAC latches in the brutalizer to force Orange Cassidy to tap out and win the match by submission
