Isiah Kassidy Explains His Strange New Moaning Gimmick

Isiah Kassidy is 1/2 of Private Party, and they are certainly having a good time. The tag team has seen a few different presentations so far in AEW, and Isiah Kassidy’s new gimmick is a bit off the wall, to say the least.

Isiah Kassidy is now moaning on AEW televison. Orgasm jokes are thrown around there, and were present during The Firm Deletion match as well. This is a bit unsettling, but that is the intention.

While speaking to Matt Hardy’s Extreme Life podcast, Isiah Kassidy explained that the moaning is something that he does in real life. He’s a “menace,” and there is no hiding that. Now, he is able to display that on AEW television.

“To be honest, I feel great, man. I didn’t think that they would be behind it too much because, legit, off the cameras, I just moan. I just start moaning out of nowhere, like, [moans]. I moan in my friends’ ears. If you watch my vlog, you can see a lot of the menace stuff that I do. I’m a real-life menace. So I was like, let me just bring it to the wrestling world and see what happens. That’s exactly what I did, and I did it with Kenny Omega.”

“That was the first time I moaned [on TV], and I was like, I’m just gonna moan in your ear, and let’s see what happens. I knew it was clicking when Young Bucks couldn’t stop laughing. They just couldn’t stop laughing. I was like, oh yeah, I got it. Then when it aired, man, they went crazy on social media. I was like, oh, this is really me, so I’m gonna keep on doing it. I’m gonna keep on being myself, and that’s when the job becomes really easy because now I’m not really portraying a gimmick. Even though I really be partying, I really be out on these streets. I got videos to prove it. The party stuff, that’s not a gimmick, it’s a lifestyle.”

Isiah Kassidy was recently questioned about the highly anticipated “Four Pillars” AEW World Championship match taking place at AEW Double or Nothing, featuring MJF defending the title against Darby Allin, Sammy Guevara, and “Jungle Boy” Jack Perry. When asked about the impact of this match on his personal growth and ascent to the next level, Kassidy expressed his clear motivation derived from it. However, he emphasized that his current focus is maximizing the opportunities presented to him and crafting memorable moments in the ring.

“It pushes me a lot. One day, I want to be in that spotlight, but my mindset now is, whatever I’m given, just make the most of it, and I always want to have at least one moment to stand out. So that was my thought process going into [The Firm] Deletion match. If I could have at least one moment that they’ll be talking forever, that’s what’s gonna elevate me to new heights.” 

We will have to see what’s next for Private Party. They were an early signing for AEW, and the team is still going strong, taking on whatever storyline Tony Khan has for them. It seems that they are also really enjoying their time with the Hardy Boyz.
