Professional wrestling is simple. It gets complicated by moves and spots in the name of innovation. It gets complicated by fantastical storylines and swerves in the name of “getting over”. The best wrestling is a “good guy” facing the odds and taking on a “bad guy”. doesn’t need to beat the bad guy, he just needs to make the crowd believe and come together in a symphony of excitement.
Cassidy’s sense of timing in comedy, ring-awareness, and positioning combined with PAC’s ability to be a prick-heel make this match just feel like magic. This is as simple a pro-wrestling match as you’ll find because these two are just so good at what they do that it comes off looking effortless and seamless. PAC getting cocky, Cassidy playing mind games and getting Jud bsbyface shine at the right time to bring the crowd to a frenzy.
It’s not intended to be a perfect match but it pulls THAT off so well that it isn’t anything less than perfect. In an era where wrestling fans are increasingly fickle and cynical this was hand-delivered with a wink and a nod. If you don’t enjoy this match, I’m not sure why you’re even watching professional wrestling to begin with. Don’t be so blinded by the comedic aspects as to not appreciate this as a perfect example of what professional wrestling should be.
Bonus points for Orange Cassidy winning JR over in front of our eyes.
Nothing that happened in a wrestling ring in 2020 even comes close to touching this for me.
