On a recent edition of the “Under The Ring” podcast, former AEW International Champion Orange Cassidy reflected on his early exposure to Japanese wrestling and expressed his aspiration to participate in the NJPW Best Of Super Juniors tournament.
You can check out some highlights from the podcast below:
On his first introduction: “Probably Best of Super Juniors, can’t remember which year it was, but it had all your…I remember watching that and being like, ‘Oh, wow, this is a whole tournament based on the style of wrestling that I like.’ Seeing what they were doing in there was something that I really admired, and it is a goal of mine to be in the Best of Super Juniors if AEW will let me go for that long to do that. But that’s something I’ve always wanted to do. It’s something I would love to be a part of.”
On whether the fans would understand his gimmick: “I would love to find out. I would love to see if they did or not. I seem to get good reactions from the Japanese wrestlers that come over, so if that’s any indication, I guess that’d be okay. But hey, how about this, let’s find out.”
