Orange Cassidy on Jefferson Starship Not Wanting to Let Him Use ‘Jane’ at First

– During a recent interview with Q101, AEW star Orange Cassidy revealed that Jefferson Starship originally didn’t allow him to use the song, “Jane,” from Wt Hot American Summer. Eventually, the group changed their minds. Below are some highlights (via Fightful):

Orange Cassidy on using “Jane” before coming to AEW: “Before I was on AEW, I was coming out to ‘Jane’ by Jefferson Starship. I just loved it because I love the movie Wet Hot American Summer and I love the way it started with that. When I got to AEW, Jefferson Starship is like, ‘No, we’re not letting use that for this guy.’ Because Tony Khan is who he is, he’s like, ‘We’re going to get another one.’ ‘You don’t have to. I can get a custom one.’ ‘No, no.'”

On Jefferson Starship later changing their minds: “Late one night on the fourth floor of the hotel we were staying at, we’re talking about stuff, and he came up with The Pixies. Maybe it was Chuck Taylor. I want to say it was Tony because it’s a better answer. I’m pretty sure it was. He suggested The Pixies. He reached out and The Pixies were like, ‘Sure, we’ll do it.’ Then, there was an article on Pitchfork saying, ‘This new wrestler is coming out to The Pixies.’ Jefferson Starship reached back and said, ‘Hey, we’ll do something.’ Now, I have two very expensive theme songs.”

Orange Cassidy competes for the AEW Continental Championship later today at AEW All Out against reigning champion Kazuchika Okada, Mark Briscoe, and Konosuke Takeshita. The event is being held at the Now Arena in Hoffman Estates, Illinois. It will be broadcast live on pay-per-view.
