This is gaslighting 101: no matter what the other person does, there is fault to find in it.

If Orange had showed too much emotion when they injured Chuck, Moxley would have said he’s too weak to lead AEW. Instead, he’s now convinced himself (and in this promo, trying to convince others) that OC is cold blooded.

He’s put the onus of what happens to Yuta at Dynamite squarely on Orange Cassidy’s shoulders. He has absolved himself before the sin has even been committed. In essence, he has sacrificed his pawn (Wheeler) in hopes that whatever OC has to do on Wednesday will throw him off his game. Will rattle him enough not to give his best at Full Gear.

It is an eerily brilliant strategy. Just a shame Wheeler will be the one who suffers the most.

Orange Cassidy most definitely, totally keeping up with Will Ospreay's high energy (AEW Dynamite, 5.22.24)

Oh look, just the GREATEST (non-professional) PICTURE OF OC EVER TAKEN

It’s my birthday so I’m gonna fantasy book what Orange does tonight on Dynamite. While an angry despondent Orange Cassidy is what we’ve been seeing (and it’s so fucking hot that it makes me mad), I’ve decided to go a more comedic route, like the good ol’ days of yore, when everything was chainsaws and Best Friends.

So. Mox and the former BCC. It’s 5 people. Thats definitely not a fair fight for Orange. So he’s gotta carefully and cleverly even the odds.

First off is PAC. We all know that PAC swims across the Atlantic every single week from the UK to whatever city AEW is booked. Tonight they are in Cleveland, which is located on Lake Erie. While that it is not directly connected to the Atlantic, PAC will not be able to resist the temptation to check out the many shipwrecks the Lake holds. While PAC admires one of these, Orange will capture him with a fishing net. Like so:

Next will be Claudio. Claudio will most likely be at the arena early as he just seems like a punctual guy. While roaming the halls, Claudio hears some classical music and smells an incredibly enticing aroma. He follows it to see a small coffee bar set up. When he approaches, he’s taken by surprise when the Barista turns out to be Mark Briscoe. While he is distracted, Orange will appear from one of the many closets in the hallway and capture Claudio with a fishing net.

Next is Marina. Marina is tricky but Orange has a foolproof plan. While Marina is stalking about like an angry panther, she will hear the unmistakable cry of her mate, Roderick Strong. She will follow the sound to the parking garage where she sees him waiting by a car. As she approaches, Roderick turns around but alas, it’s actually Kyle wearing Roddy’s stupid glasses and sporting a fake mustache. Orange, who had been hiding behind one of the large concrete posts, will incapacitate Marina with…a fishing net.

Finally, Wheeler Yuta. Orange knows Wheeler the best out of all them. As Wheeler walks around the halls of the arena, frowning and trying to psyche himself up to be a big tough guy. He spots a sign that catches his attention : “YOUNG MEN SEEKING APPROVAL OF DOMINANT OLDER MALES ANONYMOUS SUPPORT GROUP.” It is directing people to a large classroom. Yuta eagerly barrels in and BOOM! Fishing net.

With all the other members of Mox’s gang thoroughly occupied, Orange can then face Mox one on one. I have nothing silly for this part, I just want that to be so cathartic for Orange. I wanna see a look in his eyes that would give even someone like Hangman pause. I want Uma Thurman in Kill Bill levels of revenge.

What fucks me up is that Orange was FINALLY in a good place again. It took so long, he spent Months depressed and closed off even after he joined the conglomeration. But he Finally got his groove back. He was being silly again, he came up with a special high five with Kyle and would do it with enthusiasm, he was having fun matches and doing bits. He was FINALLY in a good spot again.

He was floating around the midcard for most of it, but looking back Im certain that was intentional. Orange didn't Want to be at the top of the card anymore, because that was what lead to all his problems. The foundational basis of his Entire character is that he doesn't have any super intense ambition. He's Content to not be a key player or a champion. He's fine with being the pre-show guy, to just hang out and have multi-man matches with his goofy friends. That's all he's ever really wanted.

And then as soon as he got that back, as soon as he was finally happy again, everybody starts telling him he's gotta step back up. That he's gotta jeporadize this fragile stability he's found and everything he worked so hard to get back. So of course he says no, but then it doesn't matter. Because you don't get to choose how people see you, and everyone else decided he was The Man, and now he has to pay for that.

Idk man. Shit's fucked
