cody having seen vince feed an uncountable number of wrestlers to brock to satiate his hunger decided that wouldnt happen to him because he's a rhodes not realizing that vince may very well love humiliating the rhodes more than anyone else
the only surprising thing about cody's booking in wwe is that they didnt sign goldust and have him get killed by brock too

I hope he stays in AEW because Dustin is still kicking rear end at 54 and I always hated the Goldust character.

I started watching WWF during the beginning of the New Gen era but was always more of a WCW kid. I originally hated Goldust because I was a fan of The Natural but also the homophobic stuff was awful and while I didn't fully understand it I knew enough to be embarrassed by it. The comedy stuff Goldust did later was fine but it's hard for me to forget the crowd chanting the "F slur" during a lovely match against Razor Ramon back in the day.

Not to mention the time Jerry Lawler also called him the F-slur in a promo. Or, I think more accurately, asked if he was one. A shining time!

cody has to work that much just in june alone except no belt, no greatest storyline in wrestling, and no god mode

lol cody, but also goddamn this is brutal. Start the month with 4 daily shows, then weekly show until the last week of the month where you do one tv show, fly to the UK and do 3 shows in a row.

Lawler asked him if he was queer and Goldust said no which got a big babyface pop from the crowd :negative:

I like the Goldust character in theory where he's would be kind of like Ziggy Stardust. But yeah the homophobic stuff sticks out like a sore thumb now.

Modern Goldust is just Dustin wearing the costume and using the name but other than that barely has any connection to the original gimmick.

Looking professional when committing genocide is essential. This is mostly achieved by using a beret.

Olive drab colour ensures the genocider will remain hidden from his prey until it's too late for them to do anything.

If that's the Ring Boy scandal stuff for Pat than the accusations against Pat have been mostly discredited and it's generally believed he wasn't involved. Pat's probably guilty of a lot of bad stuff but is innocent here

Vince otoh did ignore the ring boy scandal and rehired Mel Philips even though he knew Mel was involved in it

No, his combined vp & wrestling contract wasn't extended unlike Kenny and the Bucks', and he and Tony didn't come to an arrangement on something new.

A new championship belt could be unveiled soon in WWE.

While it hasn't been announced yet, and is subject to change, Fightful Select has learned that at least as of Thursday evening, there were plans on the June 2 WWE Smackdown for Roman Reigns to have a 1,000 Day Celebration for his Universal Title run.

We're told that as of that creative, there were also memos that mentioned "New WWE Universal Championship" on it. There is set to be a podium, where the "New WWE Universal Championship" would be unveiled to the world.

We're told that the presentation was mentioned as resembling when The Rock unveiled the new WWE Championship back in 2013.

Please note that all creative is subject to change, and this is based on internal discussions and memos within the company.

So they reveal the new belt, call it the WWE Universal Championship for a while, then they'll drop Universal and it'll just go back to being the WWE Championship then in about five years they'll unify the WWE Championship with the World Heavyweight Championship....
