Orange Cassidy isn’t interested in letting labels define him—especially when it comes to the term “comedy wrestler.” Despite his laid-back persona and quirky in-ring style, Cassidy has racked up serious accomplishments in AEW, from headlining pay-per-views to being featured in video games and even a DC comic book.

In a recent interview on Unlikely, Cassidy was asked whether being called a “comedy wrestler” ever bothered him. His reaction was exactly what you’d expect from someone who’s made a career out of defying convention.

“Nah, I don’t care. Call me whatever you want, right? As long as you’re reacting to something.”

Cassidy’s approach is simple—if you’re paying attention to what he’s doing, then it’s working. His philosophy reflects a deeper understanding of wrestling as a form of entertainment, where reaction matters more than categorization. Instead of fighting labels, Cassidy embraces the power of fan engagement, no matter how it’s labeled.

He’s not out to prove people wrong with fiery promos or social media rants. He lets his body of work speak for itself—whether it involves stabbing Wheeler Yuta with sunglasses or putting on show-stealing matches with the likes of Jon Moxley and PAC.

Cassidy’s laid-back but effective outlook continues to make him one of AEW’s most unpredictable and unique stars, and he has no intention of changing that.
