God, I miss when promos were only about who is the toughest or oh, you attacked my valet/manager because you're less than a man and I will avenge them or I want to be the champ. Wrestling needs to dead this meta shit forever. It hasn't been cute or clever for well over a decade now. I hate you, Vince Russo. Cutting that kind of promo (and the “I’m the guy who built this bank!” one) knowing he may be leaving is such a narcissistic piece of shit move. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SirSmUgly Posted February 16, 2022 Share Posted February 16, 2022 I do accept that modern pro wrestling has passed me by entirely. I still reserve the right to shoo these wrestlers with their newfangled promos off my damn lawn, though. 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brandon Bones Posted February 16, 2022 Share Posted February 16, 2022 I like the idea of Cody going to the NWA for a run against Cardona. Cardona is really good for the NWAs profile (as slim as it is). A Cody run as challenger for the belt would have plenty of spark to fire up a big show for the struggling promotion. Cody was good for the Indy scene before. He can be that again. WWE is so fucking lame these days. I just don’t see the upside (beyond the paycheck, I guess). 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
(BP) Posted February 16, 2022 Share Posted February 16, 2022 Anyone who’s seen Danhausen’s wife would know that an RTTT type of show where he’s in character the entire time would essentially be a very watchable Roger and Jessica Rabbit live action series. 8 3 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jenalysis Posted February 16, 2022 Share Posted February 16, 2022 Cody doing indies and maybe non-wrestling projects, then coming back to AEW later could work. There's a lot of options, and seeing all the support for Cody and Brandi, I believe they are good folks, so I wish the best for both of them. I think it's possible Cody doesn't know what his next move is. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure TBS would go for it but it could be really fun; vampy, campy in all the right ways. In a side note, on Youtube TV, the info for Dynamite says featuring Cody and Brandi Rhodes (which I had never noticed until now). I guess being Brand Officer means you get some say on how the product gets described. Edited February 16, 2022 by chriskbrown50 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RIPPA Posted February 16, 2022 Author Share Posted February 16, 2022 Okay - that WON report that talked about the vignettes was from an SI.com report And the most interesting thing from that was Quote The report pointed to a specific area of friction regarding Rhodes losing booking power over time: "While Rhodes was never intended to overstay his welcome in the world title picture, one key factor that led to this exit was losing all responsibilities involving booking. That is a role where (Tony) Khan, who is the head of creative, has taken full rein. Originally, Rhodes was part of that process. As great as Dusty Rhodes was as a performer, his contributions as a booker are an integral part of his legacy. For Rhodes, AEW represented another chance to pay homage to his father as a booker while also further cementing his own legacy. Losing that opportunity in AEW hurt Rhodes more than any loss he suffered in the ring," he wrote. There was nothing in the story about Rhodes having a booking/creative role within WWE upon his return. Also Brandi will not be signing with WWE (at least not right away) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rev Ray Posted February 16, 2022 Share Posted February 16, 2022 I'd be surprised if Cody moves to wwe. If he wants to do his own non wwe projects, doesn't wwe try to own everything about you? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
(BP) Posted February 17, 2022 Share Posted February 17, 2022 A lot of this seems to be motivated by hurt feelings, but Cody is probably also thinking about being the first Rhodes to headline a Mania and win a WWE world title. That may be irresistible to him and he’ll make some concessions so that it can happen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
