To fans of <strong>New Japan<\/strong> and <strong>Ring of Honor<\/strong>, they were used to this duo of besties hanging out and doing their thing. Orange Cassidy was simply a viral indie star who was known for his lethargic approach to professional wrestling than being involved with anyone in particular.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_53487\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-53487\" style=\"width: 600px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-53487\" src=\"https:\/\/lastwordonprowrestling.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/15\/2019\/09\/140222dgusa4-0045-L-e1567467654670.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"600\" height=\"400\"><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-53487\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Photo: Christine J. Coons Photography<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>But to longtime fans of <strong>CHIKARA<\/strong>, the indie promotion that fell somewhere between<strong> The Muppet Show<\/strong> and <strong>Monty Python<\/strong>, it made perfect sense. Orange Cassidy and Chuck Taylor are both longtime veterans of the Philadelphia promotion &#8211; Cassidy debuted with them in 2005, while Chuck Taylor had his own CHIKARA debut a year later in 2006. But in 2012, the two comedic grapplers joined forces in a new stable called <strong>The Gentleman&#8217;s Club<\/strong>, that not only featured Taylor and Cassidy, but WWE Cruiserweight Champion <strong>Drew Gulak, Jake Manning, Dr. Colonel Nolan Angus<\/strong>, and on occasion, <strong>Swamp Monster<\/strong>. But the principle trio was Taylor, Cassidy, and Gulak.<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Gentleman&#039;s Club (Chuck Taylor, Swamp Monster, Drew Gulak) Promo [CHIKARA King of Trios 2015]\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/vgGL8OY3GH4?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>The Gentleman&#8217;s Club wasn&#8217;t exclusive to CHIKARA, however. The group also made their presence known in promotions like <strong>EVOLVE Wrestling, Dragon Gate USA<\/strong>, and <strong>Beyond Wrestling<\/strong>. Since Gulak signed with WWE in 2016, the Gentleman&#8217;s Club was predominantly a tag team unit featuring just Chuck Taylor and Orange Cassidy, where they fought the likes of <strong>LAX (Santana &amp; Ortiz), CCK (Chris Brookes &amp; Kid Lykos), Team PAWG (LuFisto &amp; Jordynne Grace), Moustache Mountain (Trent Seven &amp; Tyler Bate)<\/strong>, and much more. Their last match together was this past June on an episode of Beyond Wrestling&#8217;s <em><strong>Uncharted Territory<\/strong><\/em> (Episode 12), where they scored the win over fellow CHIKARA stars <strong>Nouveau Aesthetic<\/strong> (BLANK &amp; Still Life With Apricots And Pears).<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"[Free Match] Gentleman&#039;s Club vs. Team Pazuzu | Beyond Wrestling &quot;Tournament For Today&quot;\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/3fRcpjgDFqI?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>So Orange Cassidy coming to aid his long-time stablemate was no random coincidence or a random pairing of two unlikely stars &#8211; it was a man that rose above his lethargy to help out a man who was not only a friend and longtime ally, but also a Gentleman.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-53489\" src=\"https:\/\/lastwordonprowrestling.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/15\/2019\/09\/tumblr_pdmkwrWQrM1vla0d3o1_400.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"400\" height=\"493\" srcset=\"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/prowrestling\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/15\/2019\/09\/tumblr_pdmkwrWQrM1vla0d3o1_400.jpg 400w, https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/prowrestling\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/15\/2019\/09\/tumblr_pdmkwrWQrM1vla0d3o1_400-243x300.jpg 243w, https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/prowrestling\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/15\/2019\/09\/tumblr_pdmkwrWQrM1vla0d3o1_400-324x400.jpg 324w, https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/prowrestling\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/15\/2019\/09\/tumblr_pdmkwrWQrM1vla0d3o1_400-341x420.jpg 341w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 400px) 100vw, 400px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Stay tuned to the\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/lastwordonprowrestling.com\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Last Word on Pro Wrestling<\/a>\u00a0for more on this and other stories from around the world of wrestling, as they develop.
