AEW is officially freshly squeezed! 🍊🍊🍊
Cody also stated on Twitter that only 40% of the roster has been revealed so far.

Interesting though his gimmick might get a bit tiresome being seen too frequently. I'm starting to wonder if they're shooting for a near WWE sized roster.

40%? WTF? I guess they're trying to get all their buddies paid with Tony Khan's bank account. Can we say money mark? Good grief.

This video cracks me up so much!
I find Orange Cassidy to be pretty funny but only in small doses. Others have said they are worried about the amount of comedy wrestlers that are currently on AEW's roster. I'm definitely in that camp but I still hope for the best from them.

More in-joke BS to appeal to the Bucks' sense of humor at the expense of all the "real sport-based" bullcrap that Tony was spouting. This really is turning into TNA 2.0 quicker than I ever could have imagined after the high of Double or Nothing. Maybe the first TNT show can have Orange Cassidy come out and try his shtick for 10 seconds, then another guy who can maybe actually make this promotion some money can forearm or clothesline him out of his boots and squash him from there, like every other opponent of his should be doing instead of standing there and staring at him. |

I love Orange Cassidy but even seeing him 5 or 6 times during Wrestlemania weekend got tiresome. Hopefully the upcoming large roster will make sure nobody gets over exposed. Orange Cassidy, Sonny Kiss, Leva Bates, Marko Stunt & Luchasaurus are all people I enjoy but I hope they're not on tv too often. Once a month will be nice.

I get the others (goofy or a pathetic 12 yr old rag doll in Stunts case), but Luchasaurus is pretty good. Especially for his size. And he doesn’t pretend to be a dinosaur, he actually speaks. He’s a really smart guy, he just looked like every other guy his size, so he kept a gimmick/name that was working for him. I think he will win u over, he’s legit, he just wears a mask like Rey or Liger,etc.. |

I like Orange Cassidy but he's not someone that I'd have handed a contract to if I was trying to be a major league company but then again neither is Sonny Kiss, Leva Bates, Marko Stunt, Peter Avalon, Brandon Cutler, Jack Evans or Chuck Taylor.
Also if this is only about 40% of the roster, they're gonna have some real 1998 WCW level bloat going on and when a good chunk of that is comedy wrestlers who are likely going to turn away those lapsed viewers they're trying to bring in...yeah. Not good. I want to remain optimistic but the more time passes, the more it looks like the only stuff on these shows that is going to be worth my time is whatever Cody winds up doing because he seems to be the only one of them who actually fucking gets it.

Orange Cassidy is entertaining but if AEW is trying to do a more sports-oriented product to appeal to people that don't watch WWE, he's not someone they should use.
