Cody has no business running the show and calling the shots. Tony Kahn must a be a pushover if he (well, his dad) is putting all the money up and taking all of the risk, yet allowing someone with zero business experience to call the shots just because of his last name.
What does this mean? Sign Zack and Heath? Come on now those two aren’t stars .

Heath is actually exactly the kind of "good hand" guy they pretended Tye Dillinger was. A dude with 15 years of experience, 10+ years on TV on every level of the card, worked with all the top guys and all the low card guys, worked in serious stables, worked as comedy guy face and heel, worked as underdog babyface vet, a guy so safe and dependable he's who they put in the ring with Bret Hart in 2010. He's a perfect player-coach for AEW, and he's only 36.

It simply means that Cody shouldn’t be calling the shots. It’s a recipe for disaster in the long run.

as far as signing Heath/Ryder goes, well that opinion is subjective. Some of the same people saying they’re “trash” were the same people saying Moxley was “trash” and the weakest member of The Shield not that long ago and were also marking out when Jack Swagger made his AEW debut.

I also like that he tries to push a narrative that he's disliked in the locker room and people are gunning for him and all this shyt when he's the main driving force in everyone in the locker room getting paid and on TNT instead of slumming in the indies :mjlol:


"Hey kip u got a match vs my flabby 51 year old brother....hes gona beat u n next week hes gona take a L himself..thats how were gona book it bro" :troll:

Didn't Cody say pretty much the exact same thing about Spears before he showed up :skip:

If Ryder doesn't get brought back to WWE he'll be there. WWE is always going to be dudes first choice though because he really is just a giant mark that would rather say he's in WWE than anything else :manny:

Cody books himself to always to a L in a big event about 75% of the time its weird

Beat gold dust on double or nothing
Beat shawn spears on ppv
Lost to jericho(thus he can never be champ)
Rhodes lost to the young bucks at full gear
Lost to MJF
About to Lose to archer or book himself to win the first TNT title :russ:

Ryder is a good babyface midcarder to have on the roster imo

BUT I wouldnt be in a rush to pick him up cause dynamite already has enough guys giving the show too much of a goofy feel.... and I say that as an Orange Cassidy fan even

Def prioritize picking up Rusev and Rush

Ryder is trash

only guys that deserve work are EC3 and Lio



Rusev can get a job too, everyone else is bums


nope all three need to go back to the indies to work.
lio should never played the indies like a big shot. So he gotta go find how to do character work that can make a draw as a singles guy and a relevent mic worker to valet.
Where both draws are separate from one another.

now we got what the overly talented nikkaz did wrong.
to fukk this up from jump out the way.

let's go to Zach ryder.
motherfukker. If you don't make the next express video.
clearly and distinctly about how you unloading all those wwe action figures asap. I dunno what the fukk else to tell you. As real talk,...you not getting over.
till you do away with everything that could be viewed as a neg from any perspective as a man.
you need to sell those toys and make an online show about it.
Plus play up you angry as a character from your wwe time.
where you only get joy from the bread back from those damn toys. You need to also film and find a young valet vixen to go full heel on. Where you get past kane shove'n you off a raw ramp in a wheel chair. Plus a total new move set with more cut aesthetics. To go on an indy tear.
to destroy any green monsters and call out any monster in the indy's.
heel it up and go over clean via cheating in blood bath based brawls to get some convincablility. As ryder is so damaged he has to show his so called internet drawing imagination and draw to comeback from this and be potentially what he could be as a draw wholeheartedly. Till he does all this. Ryder will fail. Especially if he shows up in another promotion and not relaunch his entire everything in direction tone and convincability.
first thing is first. Get rid of the toys to eliminate brand loyalty to a brand that was not loyal to you.
I can not stress that part.
get rid of and show you made a huge profit from the sale of the toys online.
via viral video based runs.
change the whole direction from kid fun to Indy jaded bad guy from the east coast.

eciii need to go work his way back up. especially since his whole gimmick and name is dead. As he jumped to wwe over the people at tna.
who gave him the credible drawing heel heat in tow.
with the look and name to be, eciii to begin With.
plus if he keeps eciii as his name.
he has to learn how to work the carter family name gimmick goes to another company but has an nepotism based ego character in any promotion regardless version of his character anyway.
if not,...he needs a while new character name and relaunch.

rusev is wwe's phoney version of Nikolai volkoff trash.
where he needs to learn how to be a green but dope version of goldberg before goldberg nwa version of Nikita koloff.
to get over and how to work. As he is the biggest cheapest phoniest wwe eighties throwback heel ever. From look to workrate, moveset etc.
duke is complete trash since he debuted. Now he gotta work for it and not be gifted it because of vkm's fascination with bigger is better. Plus that motherfukker do not have no aesthetics and phoney looking as an image. Which is why lashley was easily booked in his place. plus drew to mainstream levels of nonsense.
as a draw off some bullshyt with his woman.
that it hit mainstream news outlets and i don't even watch wwe at all.
Simple as that. Plus rusev, did not research.
nor an in depth detailed discovery zone.
where it is obvious, rusev does not know who he signed with in vkm.
As, rusev should have known from studying the business.
that you better have your girl in lock if you come to wwe. Did rusev know any of this,...no.

SO how in tha fukk did he ever think he was gonna survive.
When anyone saw this happening to him.
all because rusev is/was green and did not wanna work up for real on the Indies.
vkm will play yo goof big ass.
if you come around with some woman who fiyoine as fukk and you ain't got no strength on yo pimp hand to keep shyt in check.


I know...i am a hof blonde bomb Chris candido fan.

watching rusev obviously play himself cause of ol girl from start to finish.
was like a rerun of lAshley&crystal to Morrison and melina gets played by mike knoxx all over again.

shyt vkm even setup MANDY and that fat guy as a troll opposite of the shyt. Where rusev still never saw it coming. How dumb about your industry can you be.

Especially when your woman fiyoine.


duke a dummie.

rusev = dumb

Bring in Zack Ryder and have him feud with Cody because Cody's Series 36 action figure goes for more than Ryder's Series 43 series action figure on ebay in 2020

Cody is so self absorbed.
his action figure has the best sculpt.
when his own wife's scullt should be the best because it is a female action figure of a black woman first off.
Plus if he was so resewrfhed about the toy business and wrasslin.
he would know to pay higher attention to detail to his own wife's figure and how it was manufactured. Plus the lack of charm to a female action figure will kill your line wholeheartedly. Plus you dumb as fukk because if you studied toys. You would know the next line to hit block bjster sales is he-man. Which featured the best female action figure sculpt of all time in tela.

of which no other line besides gi joe after the genesis of this shyt in star wars, then the action figure blockbuster timeline.
with the genesis from star wars's Leia.
to he-man's tela action figure.
to Scarlett, baroness,cover girl to lady jay for tha joe's, joe.

if aew fails.
it will be because cody is to self serving.
while throwing this headfake like he is so researched and studied about the business. When it is obviously just duh-tay rhodes family nepotism meets the young bucs and bullet club.
it really is not because cody is some savant mastermind booker.

Cody is like a professional sports team.
or even like live nation.
that has a name commercial pop genre artist as an owner.
Except this time said artist.
performs and has bookings made to reflect that hierarchy.
with no real psychology, no high quality workrate or a consistent quality marker lead basis behind the decision.
except it is duh-tay's son.
plus setting himself up to always have the opening duke on any higher quality performer. Who really worked up from the indy's and had a real grassroots character and original local to international drawing footprint.

it is has gotten to the point.
he is starting to look like cody jeffrey rhodes-jarrett.
to be honest.

where all i really look forward to is seeing brandy Rhodes.

if aew drips the ball on action figures in a market begging for product.
plus drops the ball on getting the video game to be right. When all you gotta do is port no mercy and have it simply look like revenge with a robust caw.
that pays attention to getting the face models ACCURRATE and charming enough.
to get all the aew talent over singularly via the video game.

I mean it’s pretty much accepted at this point that Cody is emulating his hero Triple H, right? The long, bloody, “psychological” matches. Fashioning himself as the company authority and spokesman. Putting Darby over without actually putting him over with basically the exact same trick H used on Jeff Hardy back in the day. The wink wink I won’t hire my friends. Overshadowing his wife and letting her run the social action lane etc

What’s incredible is this thread is going against Cody because he doesn’t want bums like Heath and Zack on the roster. These guys been around forever and never caught fire with the exception of Zack. If they were any good they would go to the indies and start over again.
Rusev, Lio and Donna are the only talent they should hire. Maybe Sarah to because they need more women.
