10 Absurd Wrestling Gimmicks That Should Have BOMBED (But Didn't)

Where to even begin with this Freshly Squeezed lad?

For a time, many understandably assumed that Orange Cassidy's lazy, "too cool for this crap" schtick wouldn't be able to drive the star into the position of being a serious heavy-hitter on the newly formed All Elite brand.

It was cute, sure. But surely the gimmick would run out of steam before long and folks would grow tired of seeing this half-arsed babyface tap his foot against the shin of his rivals with his hands in his pocket, right?

Proving that sometimes it's the dumbest of shenanigans that click best with those looking for an escape from the harsh realities of the world outside of a wrestling show, the Best Friend has continually acted as one of the most over elements of an AEW product that boasts some of the most popular performers on the planet.

And his latest inspired "not-arsed" run as All-Atlantic Champion has even managed to turn what could've been yet another pointless additional AEW strap into a prize worth fighting for in recent times.

At this point, betting against Cassidy getting one of the biggest pops of the night would be more absurd than the character himself.
