While speaking to Fightful’s Shirleigh for a new interview, Cassidy was asked to share some fond moments from the time that he’s spent in the UK. In response, Cassidy praised Fight Club Pro before also praising the American based Beyond Wrestling.

"Yeah, this is one of those places that Fight Club Pro especially were like, ‘Yeah, we want Orange Cassidy to come.’ It was the first time a company outside the US, because there was only a few companies in the US that actually let me do anything. Beyond Wrestling was really, really nice to me, and I learned…Orange Cassidy, I feel, I grew up in Beyond Wrestling. That was a great place for me to stretch my legs. There’s probably another place I should be saying but I’m not, because they really did help me out, but I can’t think right now. But here, Fight Club was like, ‘Oh, no. We want Orange Cassidy.’ [They] let me do my thing, which I think was awesome. The fans, I love the UK fans, they’re great, and they were great in Cardiff too."

Elsewhere in the interview, Cassidy explained why he thinks Jeff Jarrett is an American hero. Learn more here.
