Burying all the trauma from past nights
Burying my anger in the past

On the Free Beyond Wrestling show, Orange Cassidy doing a kip while his hands were in his pocket was the damndest thing I've ever seen. I wish him success on the indies if he hasn't achieved that yet.

:shrug: CHIKARA's had ups and downs but they're one of the most famous indies and the Ants are pretty over. If that's not success it's something reasonably close.

The Invisible Man is more over in a more well-known and better-drawing company (Joey Janela's Twitter Account).

If you have less success than someone who doesn't exist, you're not a success.

HE KNOWS
I saw Orange Cassidy once and he was incredibly lazy with his moves. He needs to practice moves more if he wants to make it to the big leagues

Being an ant for Chikara is pretty cool though. That’s a who’s who of indie names.

A lot cooler than indie gently caress #367 that did a 3rd on the card match for a WWN show that no one will remember what the result was in 48 hours.

But the fact that he's an ant isn't public knowledge because Quack is a sperglord

I think CHIKARA fans even got Wikipedia to keep all the ant's real names off the site - also if you go to Cagematch, the ant matches don't link to the wrestlers who portray them

Given that his other persona is a comedy act who is too lazy to actually do any wrestling in his wrestling matches, I think it's fair to say he doesn't care about achieving what you term as success.

That's fine. Perhaps he doesn't. That doesn't change the fact that being an ant for Chikara for a whole bunch of years isn't really any "success."

orange cassidy vs. yano would be match of the year and big dave would hate it.

Perhaps being an ant has been creatively fulfilling as a job. if that Were the case, it would be considered a personal success and could be argued a professional one in the vein of a starving artist who eats very moldy bread and rotten canned beans that are free due to expiry. This is not considered living successfully as you will die From it

Orange Cassidy also has a good real life job (at least according to the Tinder screenshot my friend sent me) so I imagine that wrestling is a creative endeavor that he doesn't need to pay his bills.

After Beretta did that sliding German against Omega last year and someone (Rollins?) in WWE followed, Beretta was very careful to make sure everyone know he was doing an Orange Cassidy move originally. Success and happiness can only come from within and I hope OC is a happy, healthy person.

I'm pretty sure he said it was a Colin Delaney move. He's been doing it for years.

Excelling as an Ant is like being a really good extra: nobody will recognize you for it.

I don't know about specific deathmatches, but you should watch the 10 Years of Carnage documentary on there if you haven't already

Highspots allows you to search by typing in guy's names, maybe go after people like Necro Butcher, Nick Gage, Tremont, etc.

Butt first, let's
check the feeds.

Brian Cage isn't on steroids. He just has a little nozzle in his back that someone inflates periodically with a pump until he inevitably pops.

Its actually super weird to go back through the years in Cage's career and see him just never stop growing.

He’s an indy wrestler with an infant child so he’s probably exhausted
