Johnny TV vs. Orange Cassidy

[0.0] "[DUD] I am highly surprised by this high rating, because it had a pretty similar level to Jay White vs Billy Gunn as one of the worst TV matches this year and the only thing that killed the vibe of this incredible Arlington crowd in one of the best atmospheres in AEW history. If I rated the shows and this match did not exist, it would have been a perfect time. This is so slow that I start to think for a brief second that Johnny was trying to fuck with OC. Like, I legitimately thought this was a shoot performance in some Austin Aries behavior lmao. When they were on that spot with the sunglasses he did some kicks in a way that felt like comedy, it was just embarrassing. Then, on the moonsault attempts, holy fuck, this was like unbelievable. He took 10 seconds to hit each Moonsault, it was just insane, looked like a 80y old japanese veteran. His performance was Top 10 worst of the year at least, and the only thing keeping it from a 0/10 was the energy OC brought to satisfy the crowd. I really hope this comment does not get deleted because really if you open just one of the clips AEW posted on X you will see how ridiculously bad that Johnny performance was."

[1.0] "I don't mean to be a hater but this is probably the worst match i have seen this year, Cassidy and Morrison have no chemistry which is a shame cuz i think they're solid workers in their respective styles. This match was more of a comedy spot than an actual match and it felt like a chore to get through. I actually looked over to my dad and asked him "Is Morrison washed? " cuz of this match bruh"

[4.0] "In an alternate timeline where this match was treated more seriously, this could have been an amazing meeting. Unfortunately, in this timeline, this was a pretty whatever match with a focus on comedy that didn't work all that well for me. Oh well."

[7.0] "This match was a perfect complement to the rivalry that began on San Diego Adult Swim's "Battle of the Booty" and Willow Nightingale presence at the end only made it stronger. It's not the match of the year, but it's a good, entertaining match with some good spots. Of course, Orange Cassidy won there is no surprise in the result but hey it's a weekly and it would have been relatively surprising if Cassidy, former (very long) AEW international champion, lost this match. Relatively nice match to watch."

[4.0] "This was pretty ugly and repetitive in places. Johnny TV seemed especially weird in this one, throwing some of the worst spinning kicks this side of Anna Jay. Later they did a spot where Cassidy rolled away from a standing moonsault. Then they did it again. Then TV did his split-legged moonsault thing and Cassidy avoided it. Then he did it again 15 seconds later and landed it. Seemed like they were out of ideas."

[7.0] "Solid match. Very competitive. Some innovative offense on the part of both men. A true display of athleticism in this match. Solid mix of technique and athleticism in this match. This match coming one night after their mixed tag encounter at Adult Swim's "Battle of the Booty" made this even more amazing."

[7.0] "This was an amazing match, and it's clear that the unfortunate low results are largely people who just don't like Orange Cassidy. Honestly this was a fun match to watch, regardless of whether or not you had any knowledge of the "Battle of the Booty" feud. This match loses one point however for not allowing Morrison to appear more of a legitimate threat, and two points for being unbalanced, only allowing Cassidy to have support after the match was over. Still, a fun outing for the babyface duo, and a decent (if somewhat limited) showing from Johnny TV (accompanied by Taya, for whatever that's worth )"

"Largely fine during Cassidy's comedy spots and raised to good during his fire streaks, but any time Johnny was in control I lost interest fast as he seems a totally busted flush at this point. Looks awkward and uncoordinated as a wrestler and his ability to perform eye catching, unique athletic spots to compensate is fast declining with age."

[6.0] "Decent opener with one of AEW's biggest names in Orange Cassidy, and a very experienced TV wrestler (Johnny TV no less). This mainly set up Willow Nightingale joining The Conglomeration as she saved Orange Cassidy from TV and Taya Valkyrie."
