10 Wrestling Fan Complaints That Absolutely Suck
8. Marko Stunt & Orange Cassidy Aren't Believable
Marko Stunt is a very diminutive performer who leans on his natural frame to invite comparisons to a child because this drives audience sympathy. This is why he flosses, and if you don't like that, no problem. He usually gets the piss sprayed out of him immediately after.
If you watch carefully - and by "carefully", I mean actually watch AEW - Marko is almost always launched into offensive manoeuvres by his Jurassic Express teammates, or, when he isn't, he's selective. He himself flies into moves, using the momentum generated - and not the core strength he doesn't possess - to earn a near-fall. The grand irony here is that Marko Stunt, Betrayer of Psychology, leaves very little scope for actual scrutiny.
Orange Cassidy meanwhile aims lazy, casual kicks at heels, and those heels never sell them. No heel, not once, has sold an Orange Cassidy calf-graze. That they haven't grasped that he always ducks the subsequent lunge is a bit daft, but that's just wrestling. The heels don't believe Cassidy's offence in AEW canon. You are asked - instructed - not to take it seriously. AEW have made Marko Stunt and Orange Cassidy congruous to a believable wrestling product with tweaks on their more overt comedy indie fare.
Nobody is killing the business.
