You wouldn’t like him when he’s not chill…

I keep seeing a log of people slagging Cassidy as being DOA in AEW because people will get tired of the pockets thing on weekly tv and then that’s it. Am I crazy for thinking that maybe they can evolve the character to keep it relevant?

For example, wouldn’t be simple to go with something along the lines of “dude, he wrestled like that because he’s never needed to use his hands and he’s that chill – but piss him off or hurt his friends (Trent, Chuck, whoever) and he’ll take them OUT of his pockets and then you’re screwed.”

Take a pretty big name – Omega, Cody, whomever – and work a program where they treat him like a joke for the pockets thing, only to build to a spot where he takes the hands out and and annihilates the guy. Then it becomes “dude, don’t make him get his hands out…” and they can work both styles.

I guess I ask because I just legit am not super familiar with him and don’t know, but is there anything preventing it from working? Like is he just that gimmick and literally nothing else? Because from what I’ve seen he certainly seems to have the talent.

Also, I’m going to feel robbed if you don’t work a “get these hands” punchline in here somehow.

Cheers!
