There is no sign of land.
You are coming down with me, hand in unlovable hand.

And I hope you die.

I hope we both die.

And the mercy seat is awaiting,
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.

It's not unexpected, some people will move back and forth between the first four stages of grief as they struggle to process the fact that Cody not only lost, and wound up with a rubber chicken next to him, but is apparently headed into a Vince-booked feud with Brock Lesnar

Some lash out, wail, moan, and despair. Others can't :lol: often enough :v:

You're right, recovery from being a Cody believer isn't a straight line. Its a struggle knowing Cody willingly left the company he started to be booked by a rapist

I like Cody a lot, he seems like a good guy, but wrestling needed to get weird again and Cody was the one fated to make that happen. He did well in helping found AEW and delivering a bunch of weird promos and matches but when he left he refused the call and the universe had to reach out with a single rubber finger to correct course.

It’s fun to cheer on the rapist as he once again attempts to humiliate a third generation of a family he has always attempted to humiliate because of their relationships across racial lines. It’s funny because um…uh…that loving Cody should have turned heel because he’s Homelander! That loving piece of poo poo needed to say “i’m bad now” or else it’s not what I want. My diaper is full go Vince go! Finish the story (Killing the Rhodes legacy).

In all seriousness Cody will be fine. This thread will always suck and be people being angry while “laughing”.

To know me is to love me, and to pwn me. That’s fair fam.

i’m only half serious but yea lol. I’ve been in my feelings since Wrestlemania. I’d rather be into it and invested than not though. Bad guys win has been such a through-line of wrestling Storytelling in America for such a long time that sometimes I feel AEW even leans on it.

I’m more of a Saturday Morning Cartoon villains never really win type guy though.

I'm confused. It sounds like you are accusing people of worked laughter and that we are actually angry, but that we also want to see Cody lose. So shouldn't we be shoot laughing and happy at him losing?

Bray has been away putting on more weight and getting plastic surgery to become Dusty Rhodes so Cody can have the greatest feud of his career against his own father.

The laughter is spiteful and fueled by anger, because we're only amused at Cody's failures because we're angry at him for leaving AEW, is the gist of it, I believe.

Which is complete bullshit by the way, I'm not angry and spiteful at Cody for leaving AEW, I'm angry and spiteful at Cody because Sami lost.

I'm neither angry nor spiteful at Cody, his combination of hubris and self-delusion in leaving AEW and returning to WWE has resulted in some very funny situations thus far :)
