The collapsible time keeper area was part of the series between the Shield and Bryan/Kane/+1 in 2013 lol. Reigns kept spearing Kane into it until the last match where Kane dodged it and took out Reigns instead. The last decade of WWE has been built entirely around him and they've lost more viewers in that time then people who still watch but yeah Roman is a giant draw.

Holy poo poo that was 10 years ago

The birds that flew out of Riddle's butt this week were eagles. Somehow, this didn't seem as patriotic as they were hoping it would be.

The only reason I believe this has any chance of happening is because next year is WM 40.
And every 10 WMs they make the correct booking choice.

They put the belt on some injury prone indie geek instead of ”The Animal” Batista, sounds like a bad booking decision to me.

He deserved better than that place and that belt, and without it he was free to be cast for Blade Runner 2049 a year or so later. It worked out for us

Cody can win at mania next year because he won’t be facing the big dog for the big belt it’ll be on the pre-show against fuckin, I dunno, Butch, except he’s partway through the 12 point plan to give him his name back so he’s Pete Butcher now doing a Pam St Clement gimmick with big comedy earrings.

What exactly was WWE's intended plan after 30? Batista wins, defends the belt against Orton until he has to do the press junket for GOTG as champ (press and Dave don't care) then drop it to Brock at Summerslam?

They barely mentioned that Dave was in a movie because they thought it was going to bomb. And then he came back between Infinity War and Endgame and they still didn’t say anything.

I hope it's because Dave laughed in Vince's face when he demanded a cut.

when you only have like four guys you push as main eventers they're gonna keep fighting each other until one of the four retires, then you get to fight a new one of the four when they decide who that will be - but there can only be that many in total then, now, forever

In fairness to WWE, at the time Benoit was the right choice and it was a pretty great moment.

the young fan who cried tears of joy getting Cody’s belt last night, that’s why no matter the hate and the seething Cody will be the best, the man is the babyface wrestling has needed for years and the best good guy in wrestling since Daniel Bryan.

Also this idea that Brock is burying Cody is absurd when Cody pinned the guy and then got the too tough to tap submission loss, no one has been booked this strong against Brock since HHH

it's typically psp vs cody's booking (and the comedy it provides), not psp vs cody

I mean he went from being the hottest momentum prospective main event level guy in wwe that had just jumped companies to losing all his big matches then having a fued with dominik mysterio lol

So he started feuding with the next hottest prospect, Prison Dom. Makes sense to me.

it's weird to look at that downgrade in booking while losing every big match opportunity and come up with 'man people here really don't like cody'

I think had they handled it right people would be stoked about main event champion cody

I love Cody for no longer wrestling in a company I watch, it's very good and I am grateful

Still mad that time we were getting Kenny vs Kota and Gedo decided to make it a 3 way with Cody.

Cody could have and should have won at Mania but the thing about modern WWE is that as soon as you show any chance of being special in any way they feel the need to squash you into a little box lest you dare outshine The Brand. It's just depressing to see him go through the same bullshit WWE always does where they only allow people to be special in their own universe. And it's just boring to see him fight Brock over and over again. It isn't ADR vs. Sheamus yet but man, WWE loves just running the same match constantly.

The dude was primed to succeed in a way and in a company that felt right for him. He could have been The Face. Now he's another WWE Wrestler. Just like Sami is. It's more of a bummer to me than anything.

I’d be genuinely happy for Cody if he had won the big one but I’m also genuinely happy that his WWE run has been funny as gently caress instead.

You say depressing, I say hilarious.

We ALL saw this coming. Either Cody thought he'd be treated specially (lol) or is making huge bank, in which case his booking doesn't matter
