Honestly, he and Brandi come off as doing an indie version of Hunter and Stephanie's gimmick, except they know they're not supposed to be cool

The fan festival schedule is on the English website now and they're definitely announcing an NJPW video game.

MassRafTer posted:It does help him get bookings but that doesn't really make fans come see you and buy your poo poo. He's actually bringing in fans on top of being liked backstage. I've chalked it up to him having supreme confidence in presenting the whole "misused former WWE talent" thing. Lots of people, like Adam Rose, float that out there but get exposed as simply being nothing special. The difference between those bums and Rhodes is that he makes an effort to present something different than what he was doing in WWE. He also made a point to give the impression he was excited to work the indies with that list he posted on Twitter. I think, in a sense, there isn't a ton of difference between Shane Douglas going to ECW and becoming a big deal to that type of fan, and what Cody is doing now. Cody is a very confident talker who is buoyed by being a member of Bullet Club who is able to appear frequently in the U.S., and as tired as some may be of the Bullet Club, it puts butts in seats. Conversely, Douglas was a very confident talker who had the underground buzz of ECW doing the same thing for him that BC does for Cody. The major difference being that Rhodes is a better wrestler and doesn't get exposed as badly as Douglas when he doesn't have booking covering for his deficiencies. Cody can also cut a strong heel promo without dropping 30 F bombs.

Cody is a very good wrestler, talker and creative. Does absolutely nothing for me, however. He's not even offensively boring like Jay Lethal.

Cody is also extremely handsome which goes far.

Cody's got a great sneering, cocky charisma that he's using to it's fullest extent. he'd be aimless like ryback or jack swagger without it.

Yakuza team is already working on Hokuto ga Gotoku (aka Fist of the Yakuza) which is a crossover with Fist of the North Star coming next year, and since I want this NJPW game to come out soon, I hope that is something that comes along down the line. just please god let it be a Good Wrestling Game (non-Fire Pro division) and I'll be happy. I doubt it's Fire Pro itself licensing in the game, the only license they've done was the Takayama DLC and that was charity.
