10 Absurd AEW Vs. WWE Comparisons (...That Make TOTAL Sense)
4. Orange Cassidy And GUNTHER Are Doing The Same Thing With Midcard Belts
One stands at 6ft 4" tall and strikes fear into the hearts of just about any human he makes eye contact with.
The other often resembles a lazy teenager dragging himself to a family gathering.
However, the colossal GUNTHER and legendary layabout known as Orange Cassidy have actually both pulled off one hell of a feat in recent times.
Ever since getting their hands on the Intercontinental and All-Atlantic-turned-International belts, respectively, these lads have performed the miracle that is turning these nothing, mid-card titles into something worth fighting for.
Before 'Freshly Squeezed' and the 'Ring General' kicked off their dominant runs with the gold, the All-Atlantic strap was already feeling like yet another title too many for Tony Khan's heavily stocked promotion, and the historic IC Championship had struggled to make it onto PLEs for years.
Yet, in the time post GUNTHER and Cassidy victories in mid-2022, both anything but similar superstars have gone on to not only become outstanding fighting champs, but turn their titles into easily two of the most sought-after prizes in wrestling today.
All whilst establishing themselves as genuine future World Championship contenders, too.
Not too shabby.
