Orange talks about feeling the pressure of being a TV wrestler like he was before his injury: “I mean, always, especially, starting in the early days in AEW, no one had any expectations for me… It was just like, ‘Oh, he’s the funny guy. He puts his hands in his pockets and does some stuff,’ and then I started wrestling, and then I started wrestling a little bit more, and then I wrestled more and then I become a champion for however long — many months — and then twice over, and now, I have the expectation of, hey, are you gonna do that again? And it’s like, I really wish people knew how little thought I have about what the future holds for me. I literally just show up and do what’s in front of me. I don’t think about anything. I do feel the pressure though of being that television wrestler that I was before. But luckily, we have the amount of talent we have surrounding us and the amount of talent we get to wrestle against, it makes things a little easier.”
