the funny thing is the last guy who really wound up in that position was Cody

Dude got over a bit with Legacy only to get sort of shoved down and ultimately fed to Orton, he got saddled with the whole Dashing/Dr. Doom thing and kind of started to get the Dr. Doom thing over so they put him right back in Legacy, started getting over again with the IC title only to get fed to Orton for a second time, got over again with Sandow only for them to decide to run with Sandow instead, got absolutely red hot teaming with Goldust against The Authority only to repeatedly lose to the loving New Age Outlaws, got saddled with Stardust and managed to get a really compelling brother vs brother feud over with the crowd only to get denied their chance at a blowoff. Even people around here got absolutely loving sick of seeing Cody because they'd so wildly successfully defused his hype over and over again.

So look for Bray to leave the company in three years and start the ECW revival everyone's waiting for so we can have the big three back together again, basically

I was at a house show in Columbia, SC five years ago that ended up being Cody's final appearance in WWE and it was the platonic ideal representation of his last few years in the company. I don't remember which of these two things happened first but he lost a match to Apollo Crews and had a segment where he said that no one from SC could beat him that ended with Big Show sneaking up on him and knocking him out with one punch

Aleister Black was going to kidnap Dominick. Also his look was meant to be Joseph Seed from Far Cry and not Garth Merenghi or David Koresh... I don't believe him.

hosed up that we don't live in a timeline where he based his entire gimmick on Garth Marenghi. You can't tell me that wouldn't have been an instant draw

Here is how the Drew can’t challenge Lashley for the title stipulation will prove worthless after a couple weeks:

Lesnar comes back and beats Lashley for the title on a random Raw, Drew challenges Lesnar for the title by beating Lashley one on one on the next Raw for the number one contender spot against Lesnar, Lashley beats some jobbers in a gauntlet to earn a spot in MITB. Lashley wins the MITB, Lesnar beats Drew (some shenanigans involved in the ending), so we have the next six months of some variation of Lesnar - Drew - Lashley and this “Drew can’t challenge Lashley for the title” stipulation means nothing after a week or two and was ultimately pointless. I typed with lots of commas so reading this would feel like watching Raw.

Drew gets pinned by both Lesnar and Lashley at Wrestlemania and has to change his name to Drewdrop

is chad gable still with the wwe?

Here's how his last eight months have gone according to Wikipedia

quote:

On the October 23 episode of SmackDown, after losing to Lars Sullivan, he announced that he had quit being "Shorty G" and reverted to the ring name Chad Gable.[55][56] On November 13 edition of SmackDown, Gable opened The Alpha Academy and attempted to recruit Otis as his first client, seemingly turning face in the process.

On the February 19, 2021 episode of SmackDown, Chad Gable ordered Otis to attack Rey Mysterio after their tag team match, thus reverting back to heel in the process.[57][58]

I remember in the past when goons would advise other goons "don't go to Raw/Smackdown tapings, they're miserable slogs, go to house shows, the workers are more relaxed and they're much more fun", so it wouldn't surprise me one bit if they did stop doing them

Can confirm, every house show I went to had a memorable moment in hindsight. Cody getting squashed by Apollo Crews and Big Show in two separate segments that ended up being his last in the company, Daniel Bryan and CM Punk tag teaming against the Wyatts during what ended up being Punk's last tour with the company (and he didn't do much in the match because of MRSA), and Cena vs. Rollins where they were trying out a spot that ended up loving up Cena's elbow at a PPV weeks later.

What I'm getting at is AEW should never run a show in Columbia, SC, we're a harbinger of bad times.

On the plus side though the Cena vs. Rollins match had a part where a little girl near the barricades started crying because Cena was losing and Seth grabbed a mic and announced that he's made one of Cena's fans cry and that the only way to make her stop is to give up and let him win the match.
