I really don't understand people acting like Orange Cassidy isn't considered a top guy in AEW.
Sure, he's a gimmick wrestler but he's a gimmick wrestler that AEW has presented as being a top level guy since the company's inception.
Losing to OC isn't some mark on Adam Cole's career...it's not like OC is Brooklyn Brawler level.
Also there is this bizarre reaction people have to gimmick wrestlers like Kamala, George "The Animal" Steele, The Missing Link, Doink, and countless other gimmick wrestlers didn't exist.
Like the "Dead Man" Undertaker and Kane weren't gimmick wrestlers.
Hell Velveteen Dream was a gimmick wrestler and this forum loved him before all the
stuff started coming out about him.
That bum ass Matt Riddle is a gimmick wrestler and I don't see complaints any time he beats someone.
