When was the last time an active wrestler had the book in a major promotion? Given Tony Khan is a big wrestling history nerd, I feel like he might be a bit wary if the latest example was still Big Sexy's tenure in WCW.

He only does tag stuff nowadays but Gedo has done 30 matches so far this year in New Japan

Cody is still supposed to be a face, right? Because this is most textbook example of "Delusional heel pretends he didn't get his rear end handed to him" promo I've heard in a long time.

If you alwaya wanted to see what the Austin/McMahon feud would have been like if Austin was beaten down and humiliated every week (sometimes twice!), and Austin never had a chance to physically get his revenge on Vince , you're going to absolutely love the Cody/HHH feud that's coming your way.

A corporate, suit-wearing Chosen One who comes to the ring dressed as Homelander and says he deserves the title because of who his dad was. Complete heel gimmick

Have WWE finally worn down their audience enough to accept whatever they’re given? With Cody it feels like they’ve said “this is the guy, not anyone else you like instead, cheer him” for the millionth time, only now the crowd seems to have said “OK fine”

No, that's what they did to Roman Reigns. People liked and cheered for Cody, WWE is just starting the "grind him into nothing special" thing they always do. It's sort of the reverse.

The WWE wrestler I most associate with coming out and cutting promos about how the bigger stronger wrestler kicked his rear end and that means he's the real winner is Dolph Ziggler and that is not a good thing to have anyone say about you.

Can you blame Cody for going uhhh well I didn't tap, making me the winner!!!!, what the gently caress else does he have to hold on to when they made him lose despite having a FREE LOADED ARM that he could bludgeon Brock with as much as he wanted.

Dolph got to be world heavyweight champion twice, putting him forever above first round washout Cody

I was actually thinking back like "Wait didn't Dolph and Lesnar do a whole thing where Lesnar just kept beating him up over and over again" but actually that was Dolph and Goldberg.

Another key difference between multi time world champion Dolph Ziggler and Cody is Dolph Ziggler has spent his career asking and demanding to be world champion and has therefore been world champion while Cody for no reason made a vow to never be world champion then spent the last 4 years crying about it and wearing homelander costumes.

American wrestling. To my understanding dudes tap out all the time in Lucha and they're not as finicky about it in Japan.
