Bully Ray was not happy with Orange Cassidy‘s no-sell on AEW Dynamite.
Cassidy beat his former Best Friend, Trent Beretta, in the show’s opener. However, Trent attacked him after the bell, laying him out with a piledriver on the steel steps before being fought off with a chair. Don Callis then carted Orange Cassidy away, teasing a potential alliance between the two.
However, Bully Ray was furious with one element of the angle. He went off on AEW about Orange Cassidy’s response to the attack on Busted Open Radio After Dark. Bully Ray claimed he would “hate any company” that had Cassidy still fighting after the heinous attack. He said that AEW needs help in that regard, and claimed Cassidy should have been stretchered off in a neck brace.
“I would hate any company who ever decided it was okay to have a talent no-sell a piledriver on the steel steps, a teeter-totter neckbreaker to the iron frame of the ring, and be back up 10 seconds to 15 seconds later, prepared to defend themself. Orange Cassidy is 120 lbs soaking with a brick in his pocket and a feather on top of his head. But we’re to believe he’s indestructible? Even the most indestructible of indestructibles would not be able to withstand that. Orange Cassidy should have been stretchered out. Neck in a brace. Whatever! Not on his feet. And not defending himself. I’m sorry folks. This is where AEW needs a lot of help.”
Bully Ray Offered Constructive Criticism For AEW
Bully Ray continued his rant about AEW. He offered constructive critisim about the angle, and suggest AEW not to use the piledriver on the steel steps if they intend to have Orange Cassidy fighting back in the future.
“Here is my constructive criticism on that particular moment in time and that story. Don’t ever do it again. It’s wrong. You are taking the piledriver on the steel steps and the move that was done afterwards, and throwing it out the door. There’s gotta be legitimacy, credibility to something. If you wanted him to just stand up, why not give him a regular piledriver? Why not just attack him on the floor, and just give him a piledriver on the floor? Wouldn’t that have been enough. I STILL would have been pissed, but a lot less pissed, if it was just a piledriver on the floor. Because a piledriver on the steel steps is a lot more devastating than the one on the floor, followed up by another move.”
