I'm not sure if I buy this. I never heard of Cody Rhodes before this year & if I wasn't keep up with pro-wrestling on YouTube/Twitter, I probably still wouldn't know who he is. On the other hand, I knew who Cena was when became the top guy during the Ruthless Aggression era even though I had stopped watching & completely checked out by the time he debuted in '02.

The company is much hotter now than it was then. He still has a long ways to go to catch Cena and he's already 38.

 

[King Sun]

I don't know this is kind of like the streaming era because I would if people stay had to pay for ppvs how different would that look?

Thank you Tony Khan

Cody is cool but prime Cena seemed like a much bigger deal.

 

[Busby]

I lowkey believe it. The IWC might think otherwise, but when I turn on SD and his music hits. That crowd rejoices like

He is THE most over face in the company right now.

When Roman comes back it will be on a God level too.

This company might dead ass have TWO Godly over babyfaces. They haven’t had that since Austin and Rock..

 

[Novembruh]

WWE is hotter now than it's been in decades - a rising tide lifts all ships.
Cena's bigger than Cody comparatively, but the product as a whole being bigger means the floor is higher.

Spoiler

The direct correlation between things succeeding as Vince/Dunn had less to do with them should definitely be studied though. Lowkey this groundswell started back in NXT. And it was stated repeatedly that the Bloodline storyline wasn't Vince-steered.

Thank the indy heroes who saved wrasslin.

For carrying this bullshyt

So you wwe marks.
could act like you cared about quality. While still never caring really about quality.


Just let aj.

Also thank aj for carrying cody and bullet club. To this fake whatever.

Hopefully cody does not fukk up wwe. Like he fukked up bullet club, roh and njpw.


I think this is appropriate:

He was but the company was in a weird place post-Benoit and the whole PG era thing and the product was pretty bad too.

 

[Yayo Toure]

I didn't watch wwe for almost 10 years, just came back last year

same.

Good for Cody but I believe any increase in interest is mostly due to The Rock's appearances and that brought alot of fans back, plus Vince leaving and the content getting edgier again(thanks to the Rock).

 

[Love Sosa]

What’s not to buy? The company during Cena’s time couldn’t touch what they’ve been doing since having Cody on top.

The Bloodline built this, thank you Roman
