8 Most Polarizing Wrestlers Working Today

2. Orange Cassidy

The coolest man in wrestling or the death of the entire industry?

"Pockets", as Cassidy's number one nega-fan Jim Cornette calls him, is wrestling marmite. You either love his laid-back-to-the-point-of-being-comatose attitude, or you think it's a slap in the face to anyone who has ever taken wrestling seriously.

One thing that can't be denied is the man's talent. As he showed in his match against PAC at AEW Revolution, the man behind the sunglasses has some serious in-ring skills despite his carefree persona.

Nothing sums up his paradoxical nature better than his finishing move, the Mouse Trap. A complex looking cradle where Cassidy uses his arms and legs to pin his opponent's shoulders to the mat, it's arguably the most scientific finisher in wrestling today. It harkens back to the days of Bret Hart using his superior technical skills to pin larger opponents and represents wrestling in its purest form - a competition to see who can keep their opponent down for a three count.

To reiterate, the most technical finisher in wrestling today is used by a man whose trademark is gently superkicking his opponents in the shin. Orange Cassidy is a riddle wrapped in an enigma, and consequently one of the most fascinating characters in wrestling today.
