Having wrestled for over a decade and taking his current ring name around 2007, Cipperly's "Orange Cassidy" gimmick is based upon a single scene inWet Hot American Summer,involving the character portrayed byPaul Rudd.[83]In addition, hisentrance musicon theindependent circuit(and later inAll Elite Wrestling), is "Jane"byJefferson Starshipwhich was the song used in the opening credits of the aforementioned film.[84]He has also been compared to the unnamed character portrayed byRyan GoslinginDrive.[85]Cipperly stated that he created the gimmick to differentiate himself from other wrestlers better than him,[86]as well as a "middle finger to professional wrestling". He explained his character's motivations as "If I have to wrestle, I'll wrestle. [...] It's like one of those things, you have a job, you're good at it, but you know, do you really wanna?"[87]

He is commonly referred to as "The King of Sloth Style"[88]due to his slow movement and lackadaisical attacks. One of his signature moves is very light taps to the opponent's shins, sometimes dubbed the "Slow Motion Kick" or the "Kicks of Doom".[89][90]He is also known for hisnon sequiturpromos, such as winning a debate withChris Jerichoby discussing his knowledge ofclimate changeinstead of wrestling.[91]

After his debut for All Elite Wrestling in 2019, he has been referred to as "the most popular wrestler in AEW" by some wrestling writers.[92]AEW founder and co-ownerTony Khansaid that theWarnerMediaexecutives (the parent company ofTBSandTNT,the networks on which AEW's programming airs) love his character.[93]ESPNnamed him "wrestling's male breakout star of 2020."[94]
