I can't disagree with what you think about Cassidy, but I did ask if there's examples of who would be your platonic ideal of a modern wrestler? If you don't like Orange I still think AEW has lots of other wrestlers who aren't like him at all, he doesn't define the show, he's just one ring of of the circus. You don't think the show is popular, okay. It seems to me like Cassidy is popular with the audience that does watch, and I don't think he repulses people away from the other matches. Again, out of curiosity, what examples of wrestlers should be the model if you don't want to see Orange.
Podcasts are big, but they're either going to be current affairs and news like, or they're inherently going to be detailed stuff about the past just because how the nature of Time works. What sort of stuff are you interested in?
I'm just unaware of this era of realistic wrestling. I've never seen anything that's not immediately staged.
