10. Orange Cassidy Vs. Matt Hardy

Matt Hardy and Orange Cassidy feuded in the otherwise awesome AEW summer of 2021. Cassidy first defeated Hardy on August 25 in a very uneven effort.

Matt Hardy putting his hands in his pockets to reveal that he had loads of money stashed in them: silly but good character work.

Matt Hardy getting his face busted open the hard way, all for the sake of what, generously, was a gentleman's three: not good at all.

This somehow warranted a sequel, before which Matt indicated that he wanted to cut Cassidy's hair. This was made obvious when he took to brandishing a pair of scissors with a great big gurn on his face. To build interest in that, Cassidy defeated Jack Evans in a Hair Vs. Hair match on the September 29 Rampage, which was a prelude to...a Lumberjack match between Cassidy and Hardy on the November 12 Rampage, Jesus Christ.

If there was any interest in Cassidy Vs. Hardy II, and the roman numerals piss take indicates not, there certainly wasn't 79 days later. Technically, maybe, the Orange Cassidy Vs. Hardy Family Office feud was possibly concluded when Orange and Tomohiro Ishii defeated the Butcher and the Blade on November 17, but not really.

Orange Cassidy and Matt Hardy went 50/50 in a Hair Vs. Hair feud that ended in a Lumberjack match with only Jack Evans losing his locks. That legitimately reads like a match result from the infamous 'New York Rules' edition of WCW Thunder.
