Raw Spoiler Alert

[Ed MOTHERFUCKING G]

I'm not complaining I'm just pointing out the facts, and points I've noticed over the years. Cody Rhodes gets the exact same Push I explained for Kofi. He's pretty much the same guy except Cody is white and seemingly a Midcard career heel. Like Kofi is a midcard career face.

My main point is that he's not getting "Buried" he staying in the same position he's held for about six years now. Its whatever tho. He's a reliable role player which should be enough to keep him employed so who cares tbh.

Agreed.

Maybe....just maybe...thats all he's built for.

Everyone is not supposed to carry the torch. Kofi kingston is having a great career and is very successful. He's more decorated than like 90% of wwe wrestlers ever...people complain about the midcard being weak but what do you call kofi, barrett, cody, etc?

There's two separate issues here. First is that when people complain about the midcard, its not about the roster. There's a ton of talent but, like most things in the WWE, the problem is with the booking. They dont know what they're doing so fueds often go nowhere, nothing matters and almost no one gets over like they should.

The other issue is that it seems like especially in this era, IWC fans latch onto their favorites and pretend like they should be top guys, even when they're clearly midcard for life. You got posters on this board that are pining for a Santino main event run and want Heath Slater headlining. Too Cool were over huge in the Attitude Era but was anyone really itching to see Scotty 2 Hotty holding main titles? I guess when an insufferable clown like Cena has been the top guy for 10 years, you can't really blame em though.

Time to reunite Kofi and Truth.

I'm drawing a line in the sand right here, do you think Cody has what it takes to be a main eventer?


On one hand I feel that he definitely does, but it sucks because you can add the caveat that well Miz headlined a WM so anything is possible

Cody could be an on and off main eventer as long as the booking committee didn't set him up to fail.

He can work, his promo game is decent, he has that 2nd generation thing they love it's just a matter of them giving him the real push. I think Cody is better overall than Miz but Miz just had that corporate backing and him brown nosing his way to the top being Cena Jr outside the ring gave him the shot.

They too scared to give cats like Cody a real shot. They can't get away from giving played out in 2000 Big Slow title runs and Del Rio title shot number 204958438348353934.

Cody,Cesaro and Barrett should be main eventers by August 2013.

This me from when I saw the thread title to me reading the first post:



Finally, Barrett gets that push. Finally, Kofi Boomston gets his ashy ass off that IC belt. Finally that belt has meaning again.

Feels good brehs

I've always been a Cody fan, he has a unique charisma. Im with the TSC consensus that the MF Rhodes gimmick had a ton of potential and ended way prematurely. With the bags and everything it would've been the perfect gimmick for one of those "heels the crowd begins to cheer just because he's awesome so he eventually, organically turns face" runs.

They fukked up but he's good so he'll stay in the mix. His mustache is already over huge He's still one of the younger guys on the roster so I believe his time will come.

Holding the IC title, in this day and age, is hardly a push.


Wade Barrett holding it, doesn't do a damn thing for the belt's meaning or honestly for Wade Barrett.

True, I remember when he debuted the knee pads at SS or RR and got over huge. I think he's good to go since he worked out the kinks in his match pacing.

I'm one of those guys who looks for reasons to put a mask back on the guy because he was phenomenal in his gimmick behind one.

Cody, while not doing monumental things to bring the business back to where it once was, could be a damn good ME heel.

Miz had it before his current push.

kofi dropping the IC title now so that he can win the MITB match @ WM ..book it....

AJ and Ziggler kiss but Cena comes out and interrupts. Cena admits he had a bad year but points out AJ's many relationships. Cena shows a pic of AJ's many illegitimate children on the big screen and it's a bunch of babies with various Superstars and Legends heads photoshopped onto them. Cena goes on a long rant about Dolph and then announces he will be in the 30-man Royal Rumble match. Cena promises to win the WWE Title in 2013. Cena toasts AJ and Dolph and then a bunch of fake human waste falls from the rafters and splashes all over the ring, AJ and Ziggler. They throw a fit in the ring as Cena's music hits and RAW ends.

Seriously... if that motherfukker doesn't get the ass beating of a lifetime after pulling that...

How dare he do that our baby?!

I'm sure someone out there has a fetish for that

I'm happy for boss Barrett winning but seriously this win probably means they want him to be a relevant name in midcard purgatory once again. Kofi and Wade should be a legit WHC main event by now, not an IC title throwaway match on Raw.
