AEW is still very story driven as far as slowly building up feuds ,angles and stars I think Claudio would be insanely over in AEW at the jump. I don't know if it would sustain though if he has to go through a bunch of younger guys and put some of them over instead of him just face a bunch of guys he's faced a thousand times in the indies
caley Posted March 1, 2022 Posted March 1, 2022 I think the biggest reason Claudio could do bette in AEWr is he has a number of moves/sequences that the crowd pops for and cheers along with (Counting the rotations on the Cesaro Swing and/or airplane spin; the deadlift suplex into the ring, and the repeated uppercuts running from turnbuckle to turnbuckle thing), and I can see him hitting one of these -any or all of them even- and the (almost always) rabid crowd cheering and/or counting along with them. Whereas in WWE, the wrestlers are encouraged not to interact and play to the fans, AEW is all too happy to interact and cater to them. Whether or not he can promo a storyline won't matter so much if the crowd tears the hosue down every time he wrestles. 3

Casey Posted March 9, 2022 Posted March 9, 2022 (edited) Funny you post that, since Meltzer said Cody actually did something to change his look, hated it, and got rid of whatever it was that he changed. But Meltzer is specific in mentioning that it wasn't the tattoo, obviously. FWIW, he thinks he either debuts in Jacksonsville next week for WWE or takes more time off (and WWE would be upset, but wouldn't pull the offer either). Edited March 9, 2022 by Casey
John from Cincinnati Posted March 9, 2022 Posted March 9, 2022 Wonder how many new hair colours he tried. 1 1
Casey Posted March 9, 2022 Posted March 9, 2022 Alternatively - let's all imagine Cody with a beard or goatee. Yikes. 1

John from Cincinnati Posted March 9, 2022 Posted March 9, 2022 If he went out in public like that, he'd risk getting a random text from a certain former coworker calling him "dye beard." 5
For Great Justice Posted March 9, 2022 Posted March 9, 2022 the answer depends on whether anyone is hip to Cody's latest comics pull list maybe he's going through a big Jim Lee phase and is gassed up to three hundo 2 1

DJ Hero Morganti Posted March 9, 2022 Posted March 9, 2022 Cody going full Rufio from hook would be good too. Xavier Woods could feud with him for gimmick infringement 1

So many pouches. 2 6
Technico Support Posted March 9, 2022 Posted March 9, 2022 (edited) Or maybe Cody was strongly considering being a barefoot wrestler so he wouldn't be tempted to start another ill-conceived, impromptu retirement angle. Edited March 9, 2022 by Technico Support 1

For whatever reason WWE licensed some generic techno instead of having Jim Johnston whip something up. I've heard it as incidental music on HGTV before. Harlem Heat's WCW theme was the same way. You hear it on Chopped as background music from time to time. 2
