10 Most Popular Videos In AEW’s History

1. Clementine Cassidy (15.5 Million Views)

11-year-old Nate Richardson is remarkably AEW’s most popular video online with a staggering 15 and a half million views. Better yet, the video/moment is completely spontaneous and unscripted, and an online exclusive.

It was Nate’s birthday and his dad had gotten him ringside tickets for Dynamite. Nate was perfectly cosplaying as Orange Cassidy at the show, nailing his deadpan expressions and hands in pockets/apathetic thumb in the air moves, all the while wearing the denim jacket, jeans, and sunglasses Cassidy always sports.

After the cameras had stopped rolling at the end of the night, Cody, Brandi Rhodes, Dustin Rhodes, MJF and The Young Bucks brought Nate in the ring with them. The crowd chanted “Freshly Squeezed”, with Cody yelling “first referee out here gets $50!" and dropping to the mat. Nate covered Cody, even hooking the leg, and scored a 1-2-3 pin over him, winning Cody’s 'American Nightmare' weightlifting belt. Dustin and the referee raised Nate’s hand in victory with Nick Jackson asking Cody afterwards “is that gonna count on your win/loss record?” to laughs from the crowd. Cody proclaimed/quipped, "get that kid a plane ticket to Baltimore, he's wrestling Chris Jericho!"

Nate would later be nicknamed ‘Clementine Cassidy’ online. It goes to show you some of the mainstream appeal the perpetually laid-back Orange Cassidy has generated in his short time with AEW.
