Orange Cassidy wasn't a regular in Ring of Honor before the company was purchased by Tony Khan, but he wrestled a handful of matches for the promotion, including bouts that aired on HDNet.
Cassidy now has prime seating for ROH matches, which are taped before and after AEW events.
Appearing on The Shaky Experience, Cassidy was asked for his thoughts on present day ROH.
"I love watching the ROH shows because it is clearly, after AEW acquired it, it’s a different thing. It’s not going to be the Ring of Honor you saw in 2002, it’s just not. I enjoy watching it now because it really gives people on the roster who don’t get the TV time or wrestling on a Wednesday or Saturday, their chance to shine. Our roster is stacked and we have so many incredible people. We can see some of those people, who don’t necessarily get the spotlight, get a spotlight and go nuts. The wrestling is phenomenal. It’s matches, matches, and matches. That’s what I love about Ring of Honor. It’s still kind of finding its identity with AEW, but Ring of Honor having their pay-per-view in the Hammerstein Ballroom, that’s a step in a direction we could see going forward, which is incredible," he said.
Cassidy has had one match on ROH under the AEW banner, competing on the March 14, 2024 episode of ROH on HonorClub.
