All of them.


Cody's a goof but a likable goof. The only thing I hate Cody for is not liking Metal Gear Solid 2, I should have known he would leave as soon as I heard that

I think Pylons put it best for me. I feel like he wasted a bunch of my time. Sure his individual segments could be entertaining in a vacuum, but there was obviously no overarching plan with any of it. You might say he turned heel, but so what? There was never any payoff. He was on the precipice of a great heel turn in AEW and just left to go to WWE and do what I personally think is a very boring character archetype in any entertainment media.

I don't hate Cody though. I don't hate any wrestlers, and if I was gonna start there's dozens that I'd start hating before Cody. I'm more just disappointed in him.

The problem with Dom is that they keep having him wrestle like a high flying lucha guy and he sucks rear end at it. In lucha he’d be a great base but because it’s wwe and no one works lucha there he should just lean into being bigger and just start hitting dudes hard. He only lands like 30 percent of his acrobatic stuff so why even have him keep doing it.

They won't do this because Vince thinks it's funny to highlight talents' weaknesses

I rewatched this last night to see if it was as bad as I remember and it was a lot worse.


The way he turns his head to reveal his tattoo, as the worst live music performance in wrestling history is happening, and then he’s joined by like 12 people in Nightmare Family jackets. Even though he has tried to reveal it for over a minute, the camera never really gets a closeup until he’s in the ring and it just looks so loving bad lmao. He had to have gotten it touched up since because I do not remember it looking so bad.

It’s genuinely one of the funniest and most cringe moments in wrestling history that wasn’t someone directly botching something like Shockmaster.

It still makes me laugh to think about it, and the reactions in the live thread were loving gold.

In retrospect, its probably one of the first signs that Cody is not always a good decision maker in wrestling. Aside from the neck tattoo debut of course

It's definitely not worse than that. The only thing in that stratosphere is that Motorhead performance of My Time where Lemmy forgets all the words because the expectations were higher.

Cody wrestling another sweaty dude on gross dirty canvas with a reasonably fresh tattoo could have ended a lot worse than it did tbf

Although after seeing him wrestle through his broken titty, there’s every chance we’d have seen him try to wrestle through turbo-staph

I love tattoos. I have 18 of em. I think Brody looks cool, Malakai looks cool, CM Punk looks cool. Cody's problem is he has one giant one on his neck. He needs to get more or it needed to be smaller and like on his finger.

I thought his explanation was more "this is my brand, and I'm going to show that I proudly stand behind myself and my brand, by getting this ugly neck tat that even my wife doesn't like"

Also because he did the press and Starrcast or whatever all weekend with a scarf around his neck hiding his secret shame. We all knew it was there but didn’t know how huge and obnoxious looking it would be.

Frankly it would have been fine if he got in on the back of his neck, it's just so garish and asymmetrical that it throws off his whole look

That imo is the problem, he has the neck, he has dream written on his titty, but not many others

He doesn’t quite need the double sleeves of skulls like orton did, but a sleeve of dusty and goldustin and cody references could be well done

Drowning Pool did a live version of The Game that was pretty bad and they didn't have the excuse of their frontman being Lemmy.
