I enjoyed Cassidy's gimmick at first as well. I actually showed it to a few friends, and it was a new "fresh" approach by AEW. Yet it obviously has a limited appeal. He's basically done the same thing since day one and there's been no evolution of the character. He's poor on the mic and will always remain as a midcarder.
Cassidy has been thrown back into a repeat feud with Jericho, because they've run out of opponents to book. Meanwhile Muffin Top Taylor is retired, and Baretta (who has some talent) is yet another irrelevant talent on the roster. Another example of how AEW fails at getting most of their talent over... Does anyone remember when Santana and Ortiz were the hottest team in AEW? Countless missed opportunities because Khan can't book.
