Chris Jericho recently appeared on the Talk Is Jericho podcast where he discussed a variety of topics, including his thoughts on Orange Cassidy and their match on an episode of Dynamite.
Jericho initially admitted that he didn’t understand Cassidy’s gimmick but later praised him for his wrestling abilities and unique approach to the business. He mentioned that their match on July 2nd in Jacksonville, Florida, during Fyter Fest, was his favorite Dynamite match with Cassidy.
Jericho said, “The one thing you guys realize about Orange Cassidy now, but at the time people weren’t really noticing, was how good of a wrestler he is. He is a really, really, really good wrestler and lots of innovation and very hard-hitting. It was really cool to work with him because when I first saw Orange Cassidy, I thought, ‘This guy’s stupid. He’s mocking the business. He’s lazy.’ But then, I realized he’s actually a genius for doing all this stuff and being completely different. It’s one of the reasons why he’s so popular and got over so huge, so I was really excited to do the program with him.”
Jericho’s praise for Cassidy highlights the evolution of his perception of the wrestler and acknowledges the unique qualities that have made him popular among fans. Cassidy’s laid-back, nonchalant persona combined with his impressive in-ring skills have garnered him a dedicated following.
