He put the work in
He left the company.. hit the indie circuit and rebranded himself and got over in a grassroots fashion
Created a alternate that could be said to have changed the wrestling business regardless of how you feel about AEW
Returned to the WWE and became the biggest Babyface in the company
Wrestled Hell in the Cell with a torn pec
Won the Rumble twice
Selling merch

He definitely deserves it. I hope they don't book him corny
Cody Rhodes was their top moving merch mover for 2 years and just did over a million in sales on WM weekend. People still doubting Cody just aren't paying attention to the numbers, at the end of the day wrestling is about the draw.

His finisher is super ass, like it doesn’t even look like it would hurt nonetheless put someone down for the 3 count


Not true.

I do nOt see the Cody as the industry's main draw thing at all.
As I watched all of Cody except nwg era Cody till mcmahon was ousted at the royal rumble. Where the women's rumble was just flat out arfuabky the best rumble ever male or female. When generally and consistently i never rate battle royals.
So I do not understand the Cody fascination.
While also being the original Cody supporter. When originally cody gets dissed in legacy era was a common general fan thing.
To the eventual Cody and omega ruined and emasculated all of bullet club and ruined roh critic as well.

Yet despite how I rate Cody in neg rating level.

Cody... his finisher is cold.
Like Supa cold.

His theme music is cold and infectious too tho. Too add.
Him and Seth Rollins have themes bigger than them. Yet despite that.

Cody's actual family inspired brother's modified original finish is cold.

Only his brother old finisher is better.
in that variation of spinning neck breaker visually inring as a work.
Incomparison Cody's visual finish.
Can be modified and Cody goes into a modified ddt spinning neckbreaker.

That only because of wrestling in work safety to the worker.

The audience has to suspend belief.
As Cody does a very professional malleability to protect the worker in execution. Plus show added attention to detail.
to the finish.
to highly protect the worker.
even at the behest visually and in rhythm of the call to finish inring.

Additionally Cody goes to his supplemental Indy inring and workrate training.
to a multi finisher finish bag.

Which is legal to do. Even though I follow it with an eye roll like the John Cena springboard meets Cody cutter's execution.

When you put Cody back in the deliberately neutered workrate inring speed of rhe wwe.

Cody looks next level next to anyone on roster. Who has gotten soft from either being only an in house wwe talent. Or a once otherworldly indie talent that was eroded in workrste via the mcmahon regime.

In this whole successful corporate peace treaty coup takeover. to build to oust mcmahon in the sale of the wwe.

Cody looks like the indie promoter on the level of .
A souped up what if Jeff Jarrett style fairy tale cone to life.
after owning a few promotions.
Then came back and won the wwf title.
That what if Jarrett tale I apply in the same eye rolling fashion to Cody.
As this is also the heel thumb in the eye type defection.
away from the indie heroes who saved wrasslin.

That the what if tale of Jarrett wins the wwe title.
In total similarity to Cody.

Has become my own personal.

American night dream mare.

I will admit that since winning another war.
against the villains in the things we love in life and culture.

It was dope to actually see the day you dream of coming true. Where if said talent

happened to get over in that array. Then why are they not the main babyface.
holding aloft the wwe title.

at end of the mainevent of mania.

Is he the most over : check
Arguable top crossover American Harley Davidson style logo : check

Infectious crowd sing along theme : check

Dope finisher : check

All the other stuff is not there.
Which we csn attribute to being a victim of bigger is better. Plus mcmahon buried duhtay. So cody was never allowed to become dream good ever in house or even on the indies. All because cody onky wanted to do what we saw on sunday. So cody only got as good as vkm's model of corporate peace treaty to sale style of success.

as cody never wanted to break away.
from whatever Rhodes family semantics purposefully were created to counter burial from mcmahon. That were derived from and reared in house. From the purposefully neutered mcmahon slash cripple ache developed workrate.
that Cody was reared in.
Till going Indy like most of the roster that are only in house wwe performer should also do. Yet now that wwe talent in theory.
can go Indy and learn to develop real workrate. Without the paat wwe mcmahon regime neutered inring workrate and inring workrate speed.

Fukk his story why they don't let Davey Boy Smith Jnr or Curtis Axel finish their story? Big ups to Cody for politicking and garnering sympathy to get himself the world title, but it was clear Reigns and especially the Rock are much much bigger stars than Cody ever will be.

I don’t care. That Smoke and Mirrors intro was brazy :wow:

Dashing Cody Rhodes was short lived but brought the fukkery

Cody finally finished his story.

I didn't think that the 'E would give a Rhodes the main belt.

How wrong I was.
