5 reasons why AEW's Orange Cassidy is awesome

#1 He's just damn cool

Cooler than the other side of the pillow

Take a look at the crowd at any All Elite Wrestling show and you'll see more than a handful of Orange Cassidy cosplayers. It's not just because it's a pretty easy costume to put together - denim jacket, aviator sunglasses, and whatever kind of pants those are. Of course, a white t-shirt is important - either a plain white tee or an official Orange Cassidy shirt. Even his shirt, which features a photo of him wearing the very same shirt.

The simple fact is that "Freshly Squeezed" Orange Cassidy is just a fun character. We've all had jobs where we simply just didn't want to be there - jobs that we just did the bare minimum necessary to avoid getting fired. As Tony Schiavone said during Cassidy's match with PAC, "I can relate to Orange Cassidy. He acts like he doesn't give a rat's ass and, a lot of times, I don't either." Now, professional wrestling is kind of a weird job to have that mentality for, but that's kind of part of the joke.

All in all, Cassidy has taken a character that could have been a one note joke and turned it into something fascinating. That, to me, is awesome.
