A 35-year veteran has given Orange Cassidy some food for thought.
After two dominant reigns as the International Champion, Orange Cassidy has found himself with less direction in 2024. In recent months, he has found himself as part of The Conglomeration, joining the group in rivalries with Chris Jericho‘s Learning Tree and The Undisputed Kingdom.
Most recently, on the WrestleDream Zero Hour, Cassidy teamed with Kyle O’Reilly and The Outrunners to defeat The Dark Order and The Premier Athletes. However, Jerry Lynn believes Cassidy can do much more in his career.
In a video posted to social media, Lynn told Cassidy that he’s a special talent who can connect with anyone. In fact, the former ECW and TNA star thinks that Orange can become ‘the man’ in AEW if he really wants to.
“I just wanted to let you know that I’ve been doing this for 40 years and I have never seen anyone like you. you’re unique, you’re special, you connect with all the fans.
“I know you’ve been going through some stuff lately, but I have seen you step up, I have seen you, when it’s called for, giving the fans a whole other side of you. With all the chaos going on around here, if you really wanted to, if you really tried, you could be the man. Just food for thought.”
After Lynn had his say, Hook came into view to back up his words.
“Listen to Jerry, you are the man Orange.”

Orange Cassidy Opens Up On Being Lost In The Shuffle
In a recent interview, Orange Cassidy admitted he didn’t have a place on the AEW roster. That led to him joining up with other stars who felt the same way to form The Conglomeration, a group he thinks “fills out the spectrum of professional wrestling.”
