One of the most unique stars in AEW is Orange Cassidy. During an interview on The Mark Hoke Show Pro Wrestling Podcast, the AEW International Champion opened up about his ‘Sloth Style’ of wrestling.
Orange Cassidy mentioned that one of the main reasons he wrestles in his style is to be different and be good at it.
“So, I could consider myself lucky or I consider myself desperate or just… I have been wrestling for quite a long time. And I have lots of friends in professional wrestling. And at a certain point when you wrestle as long as I have been and you see all the people that you came up with and all the people that are your friends get signed to different places. Go do great things, travel around the world. And you’re still doing the small-town stuff, you kind of have nothing to lose, right? And clearly, no one was interested in me.
“It wasn’t anything I was doing was working, because I was listening to the advice of people that worked for them. So I just decided to do the opposite and whatever I could do to stand out. And be able to show everyone who Orange Cassidy is by being different is what I did. And it started to work. I just started to be who I really am, I started just being lazy, I started doing what I want to do. I get in people’s heads. And I think it resonated with people because you can identify with everybody. Everybody can identify with having to get up and go to work and not really wanting to be there. But still doing a good job. And I think that’s what I try to embody,” Orange Cassidy said.
