It's been on the roster longer so the younger wrestlers are required to give up their better seats for it.

I just realized I don’t even know why some of ya’ll hate Cody.

Can anyone quantify it? Is it betraying AEW? That he didn’t want to turn heel? (he did turn heel by the way it just wasn’t a pure heel alignment, he leaned into the reactions and put over his opponents.)

Is it the tattoo? Why is it funny when bad things happen to the Codester

He wasted my time during the back half of his AEW run.

He absolutely did not do this. Full Gear 2021, PAC & Cody (PAC was a babyface at this time) vs. Andrade and Malakai (both heels) was one of the most frustrating matches to watch because literally the only thing the crowd was doing was booing Cody. PAC and Andrade and Malakai could all be doing cool poo poo and nobody in the crowd gave a gently caress. Cody would do your typical babyface moveset and the match was structured around him as a babyface and it didn't work at all. Arguably the only time I'd say he actually started to work as a heel was when he put over Sammy.


He even teased using the pedigree multiple times in an attempt to signal a heel turn and then only paid it off in the company I don't watch. That's actually funny but it's also objectively a waste of my time.

They could do the Cena/Rock thing where The Rock is champ for a year and the next Wrestlemania main event is locked in for the year. And look at what a big star Cena is now. If they really wanna make Roman, that’s a good plan imo

I mean that guy sucked and was disrespecting the thing Cody’s entire family has given their life to by treating it like a freak show joke so i feel like he needed to be humbled, Cody offered him actual training though to learn the business the guy was basically mocking

Cody lost like one time in his last three months in the company, btw. He got his win back from Malakai, got his win back from Andrade and then beat Sammy clean for his title. Putting over his opponents, lmao.

I agree, and WWE is a place where the women are just bigger stars in general, more crossover stuff, more charity work. Jade is like the pinnacle of what a wrestler should look like to the uninitiated.

I can see Jade being carried to some great matches by the likes of Iyo, Rhea, Bayley, or Becky.

Unfortunately they’ll probably gently caress her up in a feud with someone like Nia, who really, really loving shouldn’t be working in any wrestling company on earth. I blame the Rock.
