What a run that was.
Banger after banger to take a meaningless belt and turn it into a true prize.
Probably the best reign with a secondary title since John Cena as US Champion.
Orange Cassidy might be my wrestler of the year for 2023.
Take a bow, sir.

Best modern day title reign in wrestling, only one that's close to me is GUNTHER
Perfect reign, and a really fitting end to it
I remember before this reign, I had an argument with someone on these forums that Cassidy if he ever became a champion would "Immediately devalue the belt". It was a ridiculous statement that Cassidy himself has proven wrong. Dude proved he could win a world title before all is said and done, and people will believe it, and I hope it happens.
He does not have a catchphrase, but he has all our hearts.

Tony Khan Not Give Jon Moxley A Belt Directly After CM Punk Leaves Challenge (IMPOSSIBLE)
For real though the fact that it's happened three times is hilarious.

OC getting to drop it in the main event was the conclusion that reign deserved. Dude delivered for months on end with this reign, having killer matches left and right and telling an incredible long-term story in the process. All the doubters in the world couldn't take away how well he performed or how over he got for doing it. It's an opportunity only AEW could have given him and he proved exactly why they should have.

Absolutely loved it.
The biggest highlight for me was he and Swerve being closing two in the title defense battle royale. Once it was down to just them, they opened with the two most frequent cliches you see battle royales end with, and they completely subverted them, followed by five minutes of the best battle royale sequence of this generation.

One of the all time great runs as a champion. Banger match after banger match.
Intrigued what they do with OC next - challenge MJF? Redemption victory vs Mox?

The best title reign in AEW's short history. Hands down. Give OC all the flowers cause he deserves it.

´Gimmick’ wrestler took a joke belt and made it the gatekeeper title through being brilliant. Hats off to OC, he’s an absolute machine.

Go take a well earned rest OC you’ve deserved it. One of the best title reigns I’ve seen. Hoping he gets an AEW title match soon he’s ready.

It's up there with the best workhorse title reigns of all time. Agreed. OC's reign elevated both the title, and the person holding it. I don't like that he lost it to Mox, but I'm glad he got to lose it in the main event, and go down in glory. When's the last time someone's stock improved THAT MUCH over the course of a championship reign??

A reign so good that honestly that belt now will always be Orange Cassidys belt to me.
It will forever be associated with him.
