Cody got over big during that angle when it looked like he was gonna turn on Blandy in Legacy. They did some different $hit and actually had Blandy turn face in 2010. 6 years ago..he could of been a fukking star..that COUNTED. #TrustInCrippleH

The Great One
Swag Surfin

Sounds like a field slave:laugh
Codys good on the mic. His first few years? Nah. But the dude is believable.
Stardust & Undashing promos were always good. Wasn't a fan of the stache era tho
Bob Loblaw
Superstar

Art Barr
INVADING SOHH CHAMPION
Real talk,....
Prince devitt,....
You better pay attention cause you favor Cody and to be honest.
Devitt looks like Rhodes replacement.
So, get ready to watch devitt flounder if called up..if Cody's push is indicative of the ability to survey talent moving forward in the WWE.
I told y'all this company is scared to make new stars
All because investing in new stars eliminates the son-in-law.
from being able to hold the title hostage and shackles the company predetermining the direction and drawing ability of the company always being base around a clique based lead hhh program.
Built around plugging hhh in, any clique based me program.
Where hhh supplants hbk place in the work.
Or, the company only books main event former clique based angles.
Which creates no drawing or programming block for higher drawing principal angles.
Or deviates away from clique based booking that by x's and o's are higher quality and longer term draws.
We are doing nothing but watching pre-attitude clique era re-runs.
Meets the few clique attitude hhh drawing moments.
Which are only reserved to be recreated by hhh or the person used as the gateway mainstream company directed draw.
Right now, we just witnessed and are prisoner to the reigns run the big Scott hall in awa meets diesel title run.
Mania was diesel versus hbk'a five star encounter recreated and featuring two clique legacy character styled principals.
both of which are not capable of recreating the five star clique buddy template of hbk vs diesel.
Welcome to 93-95 and hhh's wanna be flair but scared to face Brock run from the early to mid 2ooo's.
We gon be watching wack low quality lame clique re-runs in the wwf till they die.
You won't get shyt outside that..unless the WWE endorses a past program from two workers.
That will be buried quality wise.
so it never supplants cripple ache as the lead legacy wanna be mainstream gateway draw in the WWE.

They most likely had the Stardust gimmick pegged as a named jobber who can run out get a cheap pop and do nothing of consequence for years down the line.
Cody could have been huge for the E especially after that firing angle they did a couple of years back. Kind of shocking that they didn't make him a priority like they did others considering he was the son of a legend and has plenty of talent in the ring and on the microphone.

The didn't see him as a main eventer, it was high time to leave. 
When they started doing this is when i stopped watching so forced and wack i wish everyone would stop watching every week i basically only watch mania and the rumble these days.the WWE today in many ways seems hell bent on distancing themselves from what made them a success in the first place .... professional wrestling.
they are slowly, but steadily weeding out all of the guys who consider themselves pro wrestlers. all of their stupid, cult-like lingo (Superstars instead of wrestlers, calling the fans a Universe, etc.) is cringe worthy. hell, in this day and age you don't even have to be a good wrestler or have knowledge of the business in order to be successful there. if you have the right look and are willing to sign over your life to WWE, they can transform you into a NXT robot within a couple of years.
good for Cody
This ain't really true, breh...
You tellin' me in those Hogan/Savage/Warrior days, you thought Haku, Barbarian, Warlord, Santana, Virgil, Dino Bravo, etc... or even guys like Duggan (who was crazy over), Bossman, Rick Martel, etc... were really going any further than midcard? Some of them were in the same predicament that the "poor troubled midcarders" of today are. They were never gonna headline Mania or SummerSlam and they knew that, and we as viewers knew it. We saw when they were pushed, and we saw when they were clearly not being pushed, and we saw when they began disappearing off TV in favor of the people Vince WAS pushing. When Bret, Michaels, Taker, Bulldog, Razor, Tatanka, whoever was getting pushed, not once did it cross our minds that Bravo or Santana still stood a chance in hell to be contenders. Same for the Attitude Era- yeah, it wasn't just ALL about Austin or Rock, but you still knew Crash Holly and Al Snow wasn't about to headline shyt. That's nostalgia talkin', lol...
It happens. And I do feel Cody deserved more than he got- honestly, the worst thing that ever happened to him was when the mask gimmick was dropped. That was the first time I saw him as a potential upper-card heel, and really the only time. That coulda been a career-making gimmick that had a backstory and everything they coulda played off of for years. His other runs? Not so much. But props to him for rollin' out. He seems like a creative dude who took proactive moves for his career, and to have them ignored right in his face, it's totally understandable that he felt it's time to wrap it up and make other moves. But the writing's on the wall right now for some of these dudes who've been there for a while and it's no different than any other era. Most of the mid-late-2000s people who either had a run already or never got too far off the ground, these newer ones are moving in their spots.
