During a recent appearance on the “Geek Time” podcast, AEW star Orange Cassidy explained how he developed his laid-back gimmick.

According to Cassidy, he didn’t create the character; he just lived his life.

Cassidy said, “I didn’t. I just lived my life. There are some days we all don’t want to get up and go to work, right?”

“Speedball” Mike Bailey made his AEW debut this past Wednesday on Dynamite, defeating The Beast Mortos.

During a recent interview with “Sports Illustrated,” Bailey stated that his delay in debuting for AEW after wrapping up with TNA Wrestling was due to visa issues.

You can check out some highlights from the interview below:

On the response to his AEW debut: “My phone has been buzzing nonstop since the match happened with people saying congratulations, but I’m doing my best to respond to every single message and every single tweet and I can’t (laughs). There’s been too many, it’s been impossible to say thank you to everyone, but I want to and I think right now is the perfect chance to do it, right?”

On coming up with his vengeance: “When I started in PWG, I used just a Shooting Star Press as my finishing move, but there was also Ricochet there, also Matt Sydal and Andrew Everett there, who were all using the Shooting Star Press, so I was like I gotta make mine unique, I gotta find something different, so I added the knees, right. And I didn’t have a name for it, it was just Shooting Star Knee Drop until I got to DDT and that’s when I decided to call it ‘The Ultimate Weapon.’ Final Fantasy 7 is one of my favorite games, I play it so often, but Sephroth who is the main bad guy and ‘The Ultimate Weapon’ is a sword that Cloud, the main character uses and the final cut scene after you beat the last boss. There’s just a little battle but it’s like a one-on-one little cutscene, you basically win automatically, but it’s basically the main character using ‘The Ultimate Weapon’ to deal the final blow to Sephroth, ‘The One Winged Angel’ and that is the image that led me to naming my finish, ‘The Ultimate Weapon.’”

On coming up with something new during his time away: “I’ve thought about it a lot, I’ve been practicing that move. I felt I needed something quicker, something more direct, something that requires a less specific setup than ‘The Ultimate Weapon’. And during the whole time I was off, I was in Canada getting my visa renewed between December and March and I spent a lot of time there several hours every week in the IWS dojo, which is a wrestling school in Montreal training and teaching there, and I’ve been working on that kick extremely hard every chance I get for the last three months. And I call it, name reveal right here, ‘Time Adventure.’ Which is a reference to the final episode of what is one of the greatest TV shows of all time, ‘Adventure Time.’”

And finally, during Saturday’s MLP Mayhem event (Night Two), the finals for the inaugural women’s championship tournament were announced.

Gisele Shaw and Kylie Rae will compete to determine the promotion’s inaugural champion at MLP Northern Rising on May 10.

Shaw won against Laynie Luck on the first night and Serena Deeb on the second night. On the other hand, Rae defeated Zoe Sager on the first night and Taylor Rising on the second night.
