I really had to struggle to remember who Cody Hall was and was confused at first as to why Cody (Rhodes) had changed his Twitter name to Cody Hall.

Anyway, Janela rules and I hope it never gets unearthed that he's some horrible pervert or racist or something. He's never necessarily wowed me in the ring, but his impact on indie wrestling can't be denied. Dude has been hugely important.

Asuka is too good for WWE and I wish she would go elsewhere simply because she would be treated significantly better.

He's exclusive to NOAH, which is a shame since there really isn't a talent pool deep enough to support and nurture him into his own.

Who knows, maybe it'll all click a few years down the line.

no one ever brings up Cody being let go by njpw because he shot on elgin about three years ago in their match at one of the road to invasion attack shows. Back then everyone was keeping Elgin extremely precious over the incident

Neither of these things are true. He's not in NOAH and they're very good at developing talent. The talent pool is very deep.

uh cagematch says all the matches he's wrestled since like 2017 have been for NOAH. But he's not a part of the dojo system, which is why he isn't getting the full treatment.

And I'll concede that maybe the likes of Quiet Storm and Sugiura are actually pretty good and Cody's dumb as rocks for not rising to the occasion.

freelancer is a very serious title to be taken seriously, even if the wrestler has been wrestling sorta exclusively for one company for a while

He got cut once the new owners took over. It probably says a lot about him that one of the first things new management did was send him away.

I looked it up and yep, it's the same Quiet Storm that was banging around opening matches for ROH when they first started like fifteen years ago.

I had no idea the wrestler who named himself after an urban radio format had such a long and varied career!

He lives in Japan, speaks fluent Japanese and is always promoting appearances on some TV variety show. He's also in a tag team with Mohammed Yone based on their shared love of disco so he's definitely living his best life.

I thought I remembered his character being “Christian wrestler/“cool” youth group leader” but I think I’d just somehow made that up on my own as a kid watching 2002 ROH dvds. I mean he sounds and looks like someone who would be in a Christian Wrestling org

Butt first, let's
check the feeds.

I just remember him as one of a group of guys who seemed to always be flipping around with each other with Amazing Red, the SAT, Brian XL, and Chris Divine. They seemed to pop up in different combos a lot of places around that time.

Don't get me wrong, I'm happy for him. I just hadn't really thought about him in a decade or so and I always thought the name didn't match the wrestler, kind of like when big slick angry bellowing men Bryan Adams and Brian Clarke (or Brian Adams and Bryan Clarke, I forget) formed a tag team of big leather jacket slick backed hair roid rage yellers named Kronik who shouted and grunted a bunch of weed/getting high references.

I now hope that early ROH has been a reverse ECW, and instead of everyone being dead all of the semi-forgotten wrestlers from their early shows are out there flourishing. Xavier has his own chain of fast casual restaurants in Canada, all of the Special K guys are integral parts of Doctors Without Borders, Senator Julius Smokes, etc.
