King Pitcos Posted February 3, 2020 Share Posted February 3, 2020 You’re not supposed to have taken it seriously anyway. It’s like WWE’s onscreen attendance figures, or everything Cody “I own the name Rhodeth, I thwear, don’t check my trademark applicathion hithtory” Runnels ever says in an interview - it’s just for entertainment purposes.

I double-checked his Wiki for the citation, because it claims he changed his name legally to Rhodes when he was 17, but the citation's just a YouTube clip of him telling a wrestling journo that that is the case. Can't find any other evidence. Edited February 3, 2020 by Carbomb Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members Statto Posted February 3, 2020 Paid Members Share Posted February 3, 2020 I just really can't believe Cody could fully legally go by Cody Rhodes outside WWE, just chooses not to. Just doesn't add up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dopper Posted February 3, 2020 Share Posted February 3, 2020 This changing name by deed poll thing surprised me so I just checked the 2007 WWE Hall Of Fame ceremony on the Network. Sure enough Todd Pettingill introduced the two people inducting Dusty as: "His two sons, Dustin Runnels and Cody Rhodes". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
King Pitcos Posted February 3, 2020 Share Posted February 3, 2020 And he licensed the name Dusty Rhodes to WWE for the Dusty Classic this year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paid Members BomberPat Posted February 4, 2020 Paid Members Share Posted February 4, 2020 I hope Arn doesn't turn on Cody unless it's to side with Tully and collectively manage/endorse a tag team - ideally The Revival if they ever end up signing, if I'm going to get deep into fantasy booking territory. I think we need a complete moratorium on people turning on Cody for at least a year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Liam O'Rourke Posted February 4, 2020 Share Posted February 4, 2020 Something to watch, but I seem to remember Mysterio has the option to give notice to WWE within the next month, unless they've added contract time for injuries. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe it's part of Cody's plan - he's already emulating Dusty by calling himself "The American Nightmare", he's emulated Flair with his gear and alliance with Arn, and now, by having so many people turn on him and make him look like a mug, he's emulating Sting.

I think we need a complete moratorium on people turning on Cody for at least a year. I agree with you at least as far as it goes for out-of-nowhere turn/betrayals. Arn turning on Cody because Cody values his personal revenge on MJF more than saving Arn from a beating? I'm fine with that - that'd actually feel like logical progression in the story, in a way that's felt missing in wrestling for a while. Cody having his match with Wardlow in a cage feels like a set-up for Arn taking a beating. Since it was suggested, it makes so much sense for the 'can't touch me' gimmick. And it'd be awesome because Arn would have a point. And after taking 10 lashes, so would Cody.  BTE this week was as missable as it's been. The Daniels/Dark Order mask stuff was nice, but they've over-telegraphed where it's going. That said, the overall reminder that the elites are kind of dicks was useful, especially if it keeps Hangman in a grey area. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
