Rob Van Dam, a former WWE Champion, has shared his thoughts on the current state of AEW and its wrestlers. He believes that many AEW stars are overly focused on proclaiming themselves as the best, creating an environment of egocentricity. However, Van Dam points out that Orange Cassidy stands out from the crowd due to his unique, laid-back attitude.

Van Dam appreciates Cassidy’s approach, which he sees as a refreshing contrast to the intense, high-energy personas common in modern wrestling. He feels that Cassidy’s “I don’t care” attitude is reminiscent of his own wrestling persona, and admires how Cassidy has developed this characteristic. Van Dam describes himself as a “non-conformist” in professional wrestling and believes that both he and Cassidy demonstrate that there’s room for different attitudes in the sport.

Despite Cassidy’s relaxed demeanor on AEW programming, Van Dam notes that he remains a motivated athlete. This is evident in Cassidy’s recent expression of interest in competing in the NJPW Best of Super Junior tournament, showing that his laid-back attitude doesn’t diminish his drive to compete at high levels.
