HumanChessgame Posted February 16, 2022 Share Posted February 16, 2022 Some people have opined that Cody should try throwing his weight behind another company rather than returning to WWE. Is there a chance he uses his clout and resources to try and help relaunch ROH when they start up again? I enjoyed his work there, though that would require him becoming a heel again. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Infinit Posted February 16, 2022 Share Posted February 16, 2022 Who would've thought that we would be getting Flair vs Rhodes again? It's gonna be Charlotte vs Brandi...but still lol. 2 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Go2Sleep Posted February 16, 2022 Share Posted February 16, 2022 36 minutes ago, JohnnyJ said: I looked at the rejection of Cody as this weird divide that developed between the early stars of the promotion and where the promotion is today. You could argue that Cody, Jericho and the Bucks all hit their ceiling in the promotion. There are up and comers behind them and more exciting acts in front of them. It's a very strange position and what does a promotion do with these types? They are so identified with the promotion, but if they left tomorrow, it is hard to see how it would have an effect on viewer engagement or the bottom line. This is true, but Jericho and the Bucks are doing exactly what they should be doing: Midcard programs that either elevate other acts or with similarly situated vets who won't be hurt by a loss.

A_K Posted February 16, 2022 Share Posted February 16, 2022 It remains so weird for me that they never ran Cody/Brandi in a modern take on that 99/00 HHH/Stephanie role. Maybe top of card was congested but that was the money angle. Sardonically work the EVP element a little (active wrestling talent who are also EVPs? I mean its so delightfully carny you really have to bring it into the product and be playful with it). For Foley's "I think we're in agreement do any of us really need to see The Mean Street Posse in a single evening?" refer to .. any of the extended Rhodes Faction holding court. Stephanie/Brandi so interchangeable with the "well this is my family's company so I need to explain a few things" schtick. They created so much heat without even intending to - it was criminal not to play into it more. Alas, that would have been good TV. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm in full support of that and there's evidence to back it up. Cody has said for the longest time that he's going to retire at a certain age (he recently said it less than six months ago) He did a lot of stuff backstage since All In and really took a liking to it all. I can definitely see him wrestling wherever until that age assuming he keeps his word. But the transition to either running things or having a big hand backstage somewhere seems pretty inevitable to me. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StuntmanCrowley Posted February 16, 2022 Share Posted February 16, 2022 So Cody is wrestling's answer to Mad Max? Every time he leaves somewhere to starts another "civlization" (Wrestling Promotion). That could be a gimmick i could get behind. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I believe Cody Rhodes retiring at 40 about as much as I believe Liam Neeson being "done" with action movies like however many years ago.

He already had to cut a guy loose from his site due to awful AEW-related takes so some people in that fed aren't going to be Keller sources for awhile.

My sense is Jungle Boy being Luke Perry's son has a different view of fame than many. Off topic I know..... 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hagan Posted February 16, 2022 Share Posted February 16, 2022 F4W Quote There was no timeframe given, but the report speculated Rhodes could begin filming vignettes at the Performance Center as soon as this weekend. VIGNETTES? VIGNETTES? They're not gonna just have him come out on Raw with a mic out of the crowd? Or do anything really? We're gonna hype him with "coming soon: Cody Rhodes" like HE'S FUCKING NIKKITA LYONS?!?!?!? This thing is already donzeo as any kind of significant angle, ya'll. 2 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If Turner insists on keeping a wrestling-based reality show, they should just do a different person each season. Mox, Miro, Tay/Anna, Jade, Sammy, Cole/Britt. There's no shortage of interesting material without overexposing or putting too much pressure on one person. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The other day my wife was telling me this wild story about a couple going through a breakup over an affair, and about halfway through I realized I didn’t know these people because they were from Vanderpump Rules. And I realized we all replace high school with something, and this shit is ours. I just think there’s a generational divide between us and the younger people that eat up the shooty stuff that’s primarily based on social media posts. We love being a catty sewing circle, we just also want to watch our stories without all the inside baseball. 5 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(and i generally enjoyed Cody's promos- not the rah rah America one, but basically every other one) 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
