Double post but it's important I fully and wholeheartedly endorse Jim Valley going gently caress it and just dedicating an entire Wrestling Observer Live to gushing about how loving great Cody has gotten at being a star.

I'm not a huge joshi guy, but Jim Valley is completely wrong when he says I don't want to hear him talk about Kagetsu for an hour.

It's so weird to think that Jim Valley started in wrestling running a post modern indie in the late 90s with Johnny Fairplay.

My initial reaction was 'Kenny and the Bucks were doing the Elite thing that far back?' before I went back and checked when Cody left WWE and it was mid 2016. He did this poo poo in less than 3 years.

Good to see so many around here were right. I honestly can't remember what I thought at the time, but even as recently as All In I was like, "dude can do a lot with a little, I guess" and now I think he's one of the best of all time.

Five Star Cody winning in the end makes reading the response to his quitting the bad company all the sweeter. edit: also, uh Holy poo poo was that the same week as the New Day time machine gimmick?

I'm one of the few people that HATED his match at All In and I still stand by that. It's not even really Cody that I take issue with, although the overbooking did bug me a bit, but Aldis looks so out of his depth that I think my feed must have been switched with the rehearsal based on how other people reacted. Like, Cody literally has to figure four himself because Aldis forgets how to do the hold mid-way through applying it but somehow this is a match people were claiming to be MOTY

Aldis loving blows.

Cody held up his end of that match quite well but Aldis was a complete loving anchor. I thought Double or Nothing would be similar (but better), a match with a great build and atmosphere that was kinda weak in the ring because my stupid rear end thought Dustin couldn't go anymore.

Coaaab posted:And on that note, let's look back around the timeframe when Cody announced his departure: So, I'm doing my further reading on this post, but man is it weird seeing people discuss Brandi Rhodes in the context of being a ring announcer (a good one apparently). Also some notes: - Rovert has had a parade of haters for Three Years - was Extreme Rules 2016 any good, the thread seemed cautiously optimistic. - The Cursed Image (https://i.imgur.com/EV1c3gw.jpg) - The 2016 version of the "WWE doesn't want you to get over" is just tired and depressing compared to the post-modernism of today's "blame ACH for making a racist shirt" - It's really cool that in three years Cody Rhodes has gone from having a seeming legion of people happy to dunk on him to being the top star of a promotion on TNT.

Extreme Rules had a pretty awesome IC Title 4-way and a main event that was good, depending on your tolerance for Gotta Make Roman Look Strong.

Cody was obviously talented and motivated, just turns out a company that openly hated his family kept him as bland garbage or a joke just like his brother and father. Remember that time they made Dusty comes out and say he was thankful for his polka dots in the opening Survivor Series promo?
