PAC vs. Orange Cassidy

The crowd chanted “No pulp!” at PAC as he picked up OC and hit a brainbuster off the top rope for a 2 count.

PAC went for the Black Arrow, but Orange just rolled to the floor. The crowd chanted “Holy sh*t” and PAC picked him up and tried to hit it again, but OC rolled to the floor again, to a huge pop. Cassidy rolled to the other side of the ring, but PAC cut him off. Cassidy smiled and then rolled back to the middle.

PAC mocked him, and OC hit a suicide dive to a huge pop. Cassidy then hit a flying crossbody into the ring and then a Tornado DDT for a 2 count!

PAC hit a forearm, and OC put his hands in his pocket and hit a hard forearm and then a flipping stunner!

OC went to the top rope, but PAC cut him off and went for a tombstone off the top rope, but Cassidy hit a Torando DDT off the top rope and then a flying DDT off the top rope! PAC rolled to the ramp and Trent threw him back in. Cassidy hit the Air Raid Crash for a 2 count. The Lucha Brothers ran out and attacked Chuck and Trent and they brawled to the back. PAC managed to hit an arm wringer that sent OC to the mat, and he locked on the Brutalizer for the win.

Result: PAC

Rating: ***1/2

This was a very fun match that showed what some didn’t realize: Orange Cassidy is a very good wrestler. PAC was the perfect guy for this match, and OC got over as a wrestler that can actually win, and that the act of not caring is a gimmick to draw his opponent into not taking him seriously. This was very well done!
