Matt D Posted June 6, 2022 Share Posted June 6, 2022 Friends, Can we just pause for a moment and note that while a lot of the internet is going on about how Cody martyred himself and made things harder for everyone who ever has to decide whether to work hurt in the future and was foolish, etc, our @DEAN's big criticism was that the match needed color.

Rhodes going the extra mile and severing his peck to give Rollins the semblance of a chance was pretty hardcore. I guess Rhodes is now the new Hulk Hogan because he is ALWAYS going over no matter what's going on. The matched DEEPLY needed blood, especially if you are going to pull out a fucking bullrope. That was good. To be fair both actually did nick their arms at some point. It just ended up being minor. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's already at the absolute worst it can be. So it's not like he could damage it any further. He already requires surgery to reattach the muscle to the bone. At that point it becomes a pain tolerance issue. If he can get through the physical pain of it to work, then there's not a lot of harm in clearing him to work. The problem can't get any worse than it already is. It's true that he couldn't make his pec injury worse, but I would think in a physically demanding activity like pro wrestling, you drastically increase the chances of jacking up your shoulder on top of everything else if you have to compensate for a nonfunctional pec. There's also the issue of putting your opponent in more danger for similar reasons. Luckily neither of those two things seemed to happen. Sometimes good things can come from bad decisions, though. Life's weird like that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My roommate's ex wound up in that position from bad medical advice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
(BP) Posted June 6, 2022 Share Posted June 6, 2022 I think the real risk would be overcompensating for the loss of strength using another body part and injuring that as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My roommate's ex wound up in that position from bad medical advice. Yeah if left unattended it could be super serious and never heal right. But I know there was an LA Ram that tore his pec off the bone during the playoffs but he still played during The Super Bowl this year (Eric Weddle). So it's not just a wrestling thing. The NFL allowed it too. In Cody & Seth's cases they are more than capable of working around it too. They did some gruesome stuff, but they didn't reach past what Cody could handle. No Gorilla Presses or anything. So while extremely painful, still relatively safe. Much less dangerous than working with a concussion at the very least.

Matt D Posted June 10, 2022 Share Posted June 10, 2022 Cody’s diversity of 5* matches, even in an era of Meltzerflation is pretty interesting. He has a Sammy TNT match and the Dustin bloodbath too. They’re all very different. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Natural Posted June 10, 2022 Share Posted June 10, 2022 Meltzer main roster WWE ***** matches: Razor Ramon vs. Shawn Michaels. WrestleMania X. Bret Hart vs. Owen Hart. SummerSlam 1994. Bret Hart vs. Steve Austin. WrestleMania 13. Shawn Michaels vs. The Undertaker. In Your House 18: Badd Blood. CM Punk vs. John Cena. Money in the Bank 2011. Cody Rhodes vs. Seth Rollins. Hell in a Cell 2022. --- The biggest omissions to me are: Owen Hart vs. Bret Hart. WrestleMania X. The Undertaker vs. Shawn Michaels. WrestleMania 25. The Undertaker vs. Shawn Michaels. WrestleMania XXVI. John Cena vs. Brock Lesnar. Extreme Rules 2012. Daniel Bryan vs. John Cena. SummerSlam 2013. The Wyatt Family vs. The Shield. Elimination Chamber 2014. Daniel Bryan vs. AJ Styles.

He thought it could have been make-up and just part of the storyline, I assume at some point in his long ass life he has seen what a torn pec can look like since I know I have. He just assumes everything wrestling related that makes it to TV is fake, which in his defense 99.7% of the time that is true. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NoFistsJustFlips Posted June 11, 2022 Share Posted June 11, 2022 I'll take the under. Cena is super human so we shouldn't use him as the measuring stick. But he tore his pec off the bone in October of 2007 and was back in time for The Rumble 4 months later. This is WWE purposely extending the time frame some when he comes back in 6 months it's a surprise. He'll be back by The Rumble. And odds on favorite to win it. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
