And I think my head is burning,
And in a way I'm yearning,
To be done with all this measuring of proof.
An eye for an eye
And a tooth for a tooth,
And anyway I told the truth,
And I'm not afraid to die.

Cody talking that this story with Roman has been building for two years and all I'm thinking is "how many times has Roman interacted with Cody before the mania match and after so far

Because he's acting like him and Roman have been in some feud that's been hot every month or something :lol:

Ah. Yeah that is lovely but not without precedence. Hulu’s commercial free tier tells you which shows still have commercials. Lame but not surprising.

I really have nothing against Cody as a person or wrestler but booking yourself in AEW to never be able to win the world championship, getting upset because you couldn't win the world championship, then going to WWE to win the world championship and not winning the world championship again is one of the funniest stories in wrestling.

Nuh uh

It’s one of the funniest stories in wrestling because of all that PLUS the story of cm punk throwing a big fat tantrum because he wasn’t gonna get the mania main event, leaving wwe, going to AEW, flaming out, coming back hat in hand and now also not getting the main event match slot at mania, and likely being Cody’s consolation prize

There's a lot of hearsay with C*dy's terms but the simple objective fact is that he left a company he was an EVP in to have an upper card position in the fed during the years where only Shield members are allowed to be champions. It's funny. I'm sure it's SLOM but I can't imagine on the longrun being better than having a slice of the aew pie.

I would hope that even with Raw still having ads they'd be better at placing them (in after a match is done not in the middle) but I doubt they do that. If anything they probably add more ads to the show

It was actually because Tony thought Brandi was useless at her job. He has since learned from the experience because he locked The Elite down before firing the Buckwife this time.

Now in his new Peacock documentary, American Nightmare: Becoming Cody Rhodes, the former TNT Champion has said he left AEW because of a 'personal issue.'

"I can't tell you why I left AEW, I can't and I won't," Rhodes said. "But I can tell you the reasons that were said – that didn't actually matter. I didn't leave AEW because of money and I didn't leave AEW because of other talents.

A year before he started spinning the line about a personal issue, he said this.

quote:

"Why I thought it didn't need me was... okay, I'm not being totally honest, maybe it did need me, but here's what I needed. I didn't want to be a gatekeeper wrestler, I did not want to be 'oh, this is Cody's thing, AEW,' and some people look at it that way, not everybody does... 'oh first program, they wrestle Cody Rhodes, then they do Chris' [Jericho] podcast' [laughs]. There's a whole meme about it and I just didn't want to be a gatekeeper, at the time we were getting these kind of, split reactions which was very fun and fun to experiment with because I had worked with [John] Cena on live events and to see how he did it and go 'okay, alright'. It takes a lot of discipline, I feel like to know when you can, kind of, give them a little something or when you got to stick to who you are and go, hey, you go do that, I'm going to stick to who I am.

It's spot and money, like every other pro wrestler. Cody really isn't that special.
