James Cipperly (born May 4, 1984),[1] better known by his ring name Orange Cassidy, is an American professional wrestler and wrestling trainer. He is signed to All Elite Wrestling (AEW), where he is a member of The Conglomeration and is a former two-time AEW International Champion, with his first reign being the longest in the title's history.[a] Cassidy also works in AEW as a producer.[8] He was also treated as a member of the NJPW group Chaos, after the group was brought to the company by Rocky Romero.
Prior to signing with AEW, he had previously performed for the Chikara promotion as the luchador enmascarado (masked professional wrestler), Fire Ant.[9] Fire Ant was part of the Colony stable, which won the Campeonatos de Parejas once[10][11] and Chikara's premier King of Trios tournament twice.[12][13] During his time in Chikara, he also appeared unmasked as a member of The Gentleman's Club faction, alongside Chuck Taylor and Drew Gulak,[14] and was a trainer at the promotion's Wrestle Factory school.[15] He also wrestled prominently on the independent circuit from 2004 to 2019.
