The many sins of Cody Rhodes

[air_raid]

Two blokes going for something and missing still looks better than two blokes doing ten counters and counter-counters smooth as silk in about seven seconds where it’s just obvious co-operation and nobody looks like they’re actually trying to hurt each other.

[Donald J Trump]

There are a couple of factors in terms of position, timing and synchronicity that suggest it was planned that way. We're very much in the dark ages in terms of innovation and creativity. I fear we're now at a stage where there's nothing new under the sun, so we'll either see truly brilliant ideas or second rate ones that would previously have been dismissed as daft. A less charitable reading would be that one of them called the move, and the other one was confused as to who was supposed to be doing what.

Gerwitz really thinks a lot of himself doesn’t he? I like the way he blames Cody but then doesn’t blame Cody. Completely tone deaf. I thought Cody behaved exactly how he should have in that situation. He’d have looked an idiot had he not.

[Supremo]

Imagine how much worse and how much more damage that would have done! Gewirtz Is a moron.

[Donald J Trump]

Yeah, Fuckin A!

Go get em Rock!

You’re going to get your ass kicked, Roman!

Let’s do this!’

If this, or any version of this was "on paper" then it's not a case of poor execution on Rhodes part. He's recognised dogshit when it's served up to him and thought better of it. That's rotten, even in broad brush strokes.

My estimation of Cody went up ten times when I read this whine. As well as being a real Hogan of a nice bloke with kids and potential Make A Wish legend, he played the game like an expert, brother.

I'm not a fan at all of Cody as a wrestler or promo but Cody the man - I love him for exactly those reasons. He's an old school carny as fuck throwback who will jump on any bandwagon, spout any kind of bullshit and play the game to be on top (the type we haven't had in years) but I also genuinely believe that he loves being the hero to the kids and making fans dreams come true.

I like many of Wesley's bands but does he really stand a chance here?

 

[wordsfromlee]

I think he has. He had an agreement with Cody and that’s been broken. 
 

I do like the irony of him kicking off because his band is called American Nightmare when they themselves were sued by a Misfits tribute band for calling themselves that and had to change their name to Give Up The Ghost. 

[Merzbow]

Had to change it twice iirc.

He should have also sued the BBC when they brought out sitcom Some Girls.

REEL HIM IN, IT'S CODY RHODES.

Hes such a likeable guy

Sorry for linking to City media.

Yeah, I remember my mum messaging me after he won the title and was on some UK morning show and she was like 'Oh, he seems like a really nice man' and that he gave a good impression of himself. 

He's clearly the man to be the current face of the company.
