Orange Cassidy - Making the AEW International Title matter

 

Source - allelitewrestling.com

Orange Cassidy is one of the most compelling, interesting, exciting and polarizing wrestlers in all of pro wrestling. 

Some people love him and some people hate him. Orange Cassidy has a very unique in ring style and way he approaches wrestling and what he does in the ring.

 I'm not a pro wrestler so i will not and can not critique who is good and not good within the ropes but what I will say is everytime i see Orange Cassidy its fun, exciting and i am always entertained. 

Wrestling to me is about being entertained, getting lost in the moment and story, Orange Cassidy does this and does it so well and is one of the best in AEW.

Orange Cassidy Won AEW international Title at AEW Dynamite on 12th October 2022 defeating PAC, When Orange Cassidy won that title i don't think anyone would know what would happen next.......

Orange Cassidy has been on this incredible run of AEW international title defences (as of this writing its 27 Matches!) 

You can view a list all of  Orange Cassidy title defences here https://www.cagematch.net/

Orange Cassidy has made AEW International title mean something, he has defended his title in so many different ways from 1-1 matches to 20 Man Battle Royal, fans have gravitated towards him even more.

 The more defences and the more entertaining matches he has had have created a huge wave of momentum for him. 

Fans want to see Orange every week on AEW TV whether it is Dynamite, Rampage or Collison and to see how he is facing next and what the match will be, and in what unique way they will be entertained. 

That to me is the key, AEW has an entertaining, important part of the show that people want to see and will pay money to see, Orange Cassidy was created outside of AEW but AEW have given him the platform to reach more people, to capitalise in what he is and monetise what he is with merchandise, figures and T shirts, Orange Cassidy has turned himself into an attraction.

A new layer to Orange Cassidy has been shown and a toughness to the character that people did not see previously. Not just in his matches (which are becoming epic wrestling match affairs) but this is illustrated with Orange Cassidy after every match and title defence coming out to his next match with more athletic tape on his back/shoulders, its showing his wear and tear as champion and the toll all the defences are having on him. 

I think its become a perfect mix AEW needed someone to elevate the AEW international Title, to make fans care about it, what it is and to make it special. Sometimes the title needs the right wrestler to make it special.

The way the title run has been handled is unique and added the to uniqueness of Orange Cassidy himself they have complimented each other perfectly and created one of the best title runs in wrestling.

This year 30 Man Royal Rumble match has alot of intrigue built into it most people are of the opinion that John Cena will be winning this years event and then go on to face The Rock at Wrestlemania.

Strike Wrestling Results Bournemouth May 20th 2018   Hello Wrestling fans! Welcome to the first ever Strike Wrestling Results blog!  I went to Bournemouth and took x2 trains and a bus to get there and it was well worth the effort. Before I get to the wrestling a bit about Bournemouth Bournemouth is a beautiful town it was a sunny hot day. I managed to go to the beach and see the pier and get a great view from Bournemouth on top of the cliffs, where there were also many of great restaurants and places to eat. Check out my on the road video on Strike Wrestling by clicking the video below! This was my first show at Strike Wrestling and Strike is an over 18’s show so I was expecting a different vibe, feel and presentation to family orientated wrestling that I have attended in the past. Strike wrestling is high paced, hard hitting, fast action but with a huge streak of entertainment, fun and having a great time.   From where I was

WWE TV in UK 2024 Will it Stay on TNT Sports, Move Back to Sky or Somewhere new?

In 2020 WWE signed a multi year deal with TNT Sports (BT Sport at the time) to air WWE programming WWE Raw, WWE Smackdown and WWE NXT.  Channel 5 also airs highlights of WWE RAW and WWE Smackdown but on a week delay - Channel 5 is a free to air channel here in the UK.  Last week I received an email as a WWE Network subscriber here in the UK to inform me that I could now watch WWE NXT every week on WWE Network from 3rd Jan 2024. So this email got me thinking - is the WWE/TNT Sports UK TV deal coming up soon? it looks possible. Looking at the original story of the deal being made in 2020 multiple sources claim that it is a "multi year deal" See below  ( https://www.digitalspy.com/tv/ustv/a28113145/wwe-smackdown-raw-watch-uk-tv-bt-sport/)     I could not find how many specific years that was., However I thought i'd give my opinion on where WWE Raw and WWE Smackdown could end up in 2024, The rights fee's obviously are alot less than there are in USA due to WWE Raw and Sma
