There’s an assembly video on that guy’s channel and… yeah, that thing looks pretty haphazardly thrown together:

It looks like the kind of ramp you see in videos where a bunch of idiots are trying unsuccessfully to load an ATV on the back of a pick-up truck.

Dave's reporting that Cody's contract allows him to do outside projects, so if TBS wants him back for The Go Big Show, he can do it.


Which probably explains that meeting this weekend with WWE talent where HHH told them they can do limited third party stuff now.

I like Cody and I hope he's happy and fulfilled with whatever he gets to do in WWE but lmfao at all of this

Thank you to the people who post clips and make memes so I can enjoy Cody's head poking out of a box

I found a crowd vid, and that's pretty much what happens lol. I'm guessing he's crouching down and stands up with the little puff of smoke, ffs



omg its so much worse than it looks in the live feed.

wwe has millions to spend on production, their video team is the best there is, they had weeks to plan, and all they could come up with is this?

Still giggling over the fact that they built a box specifically for the Codyvator, which just makes his entrance look that much more ridiculous

E: like his options were "walk out onto the stage like everyone else" or "we'll build you a tiny little box and a ramp so you can do your fancy Codyvator poo poo" and he probably didn't even hesitate to pick the latter :laugh:

It really is kind of weird that they made Cody come out of a box when, at Mania, they had the Mysterio "jump out of the stage" entrance. I'm guessing they must not do that entrance for Rey every week and he just walks out like a normal guy now? It'd make things even more absurd if they had the Mysterio rocket launcher in the stage, or the ability to put it in the stage, and still did A Box.

WWF knew Cody was coming for a while. It's baffling they couldn't take a few days and figure out a better codyvator?


Should have called Otis Elevator or Mummy Napkin to figure it out

So.. really, truly thinking about it, did Cody just go and place another ceiling on himself as far as character work goes? "I'm doing this to win the title that Dusty never did" only works as a character until you actually win the title. What then?

As far as I know, the problem is that the current WWE entrance just... doesn't have enough of a stage to fit that kind of system. So if they want to have any infrastructure for an entrance besides a giant video wall that makes everyone look tiny, they need to just put it on the floor where everyone can see it.

The best part is they used to have the Rey Mysterio knee destroyer entrance. So they just did low rent on purpose lol

The WWE is filled with titles that Dusty never won, Cody will be busy for a while.

Then you just come up with a new story? The AEW title stip created a bunch of storytelling hurdles (why would you ever put Cody over a guy in the title scene if you can’t pay it off? How do you keep people invested in Cody when he can’t be anything more than everyone’s favorite midcarder?); the WWE angle thus far is just normal character motivation

Rey hasn't jumped out the stage for ages. I think it would be bad for his knees if he had to do it every single entrance.

"What do you mean, pal, Dusty never held the 24/7 title, that's such good poo poo," Vince's decaying husk rasps as Cody jumps down off the little box to complain
