Long-Time Lurker posted:So, forgetting the Codybox and Codyhead, was the actual Cody promo any good? If you heard any Cody promo in AEW, , you've heard this one. "I'm doing this for Dusty, for my daughter", fake crying, lip bite, etc. It was an AEW Cody promo.

Short videos talking about how proud he was of his brother that could be posted after a match. They needed to do this Tiktok but with his beard https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0SN8oYGMIGw

So I just watched the segment and it appears they are having their cake and eat it too by Rollins being a Jokerfied Pro-Corporate?

Glad to know I wasn't tricked into watching any minute of WWE again. My Fed-brained buddy kept tweeting it was the best promo Cody had ever done. This same friend doesn't even watch anything other than WWE and used to make fun of Cody just as much as AEW fans did.

Jiro posted:Holy poo poo they had to put the Codyvator ON TOP of the stage in a box that he had to get into????? So many incredible parts. The awkward camera angle because the cameraman's still at floor level, Cody having to look down to check it's stopped moving. The embarrassed little smirk he gives when he's clearly thinking 'this looks a little dumb'. So great. And it's hard to tell from the TV shot, but it looks like Cody was too tall to be fully concealed by the box, so was just standing there head exposed until the camera was ready to roll? LMAO Also, congratulations to Box-Like Structure for having the only angle to successfully run from one Wrestlemania to another in years.

Short videos talking about how proud he was of his brother that could be posted after a match. 100%, probably 20 minutes before show start. He got out there and they clearly had nothing at all written for the segment, so it was just walking out to a confused crowd, getting told to gently caress off by KO, then KO leaving when he stood around instead of leaving. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RQ6yRZdKz0c Just bafflingly hilarious levels of burial.

Holy poo poo that is the “black curtain in a corner of the high school gym” of elevators. If your local indie wanted someone to pop up out of something that is what it would look like.

RealityWarCriminal posted:happy for Cody but jesus christ the state of this company The Downstait of this company. I can't decide which is dumber, the tiny little box-like structure or Elias' new gimmick. I guess maybe the box, the gimmick could be fun if they did it well, like someone suggested having him make videos as Elias before shaving his beard. It could go in interesting places. But sadly this is the WWE and the only interesting place their wrestlers go is through catering to AEW. E: they're also making the pumped in crowd noises super obvious. People are just standing around looking at Cody's little box like structure and the audio track sounds like a Brazilian football final.

Liquid Communism posted:Remember they did this for a one-off for Edge in January. It looks like that gets stuck halfway through as well and Edge just kinda stands there for a bit with his chest sticking out of the stage. E: it might just be his exaggerated breathing that's making it look like he's stationary for a bit. Answers Me posted:There’s an assembly video on that guy’s channel and… yeah, that thing looks pretty haphazardly thrown together: I could understand it if this Cody thing was put together literally two days before RAW, but they've had WEEKS.

every now and again WWE has a funny idea. Baron Corbin becoming destitute because he lost his crown was one. Ezekiel, Elias’ younger brother is also funny. I do not care where it goes but for now I’ll laugh at it
