The Cody Rhodes Situation

[StatUS]

Cody plays a good heel though. I guess he wants to do charity and maintain his tv shows but does it matter nowadays when everyone knows wrestling is scripted? I get some kids might not understand but that’s not really their main audience right now.

Cody has a narcissistic Homelander gimmick ready to go with him and his wife. He’s avoiding the potential nuclear heat for no reason. A good heel can also turn back if it’s done right.

Because the company is clearly conscious of it and has a history of fan responsive booking I’m here for it. They would never go the Cena route and just ignore it, I think the payoff is going to be massively entertaining.

I actually don't have a problem with Cody but his reality show was terrible

I prefer him over bums like Young bucks & Omega

I mean...he does give us those old school NWA caliber matches despite the fact that hes a goofy

This guy gets it

A good heel turn would be best, but I'd prefer what he's doing now over a generic heel turn where he's cutting "IT WAS YOU PEOPLE who made me evil!" promos every week

 

[The Great One]

They are doing a slow burn heel turn. You think the same people who knew Britt Baker's OG character wasn't working and the Dark Order wasn't working don't see people online complaining?

lol slow burn since when? This guy has been getting booed for a while now. It's even being talked about Rhodes to the Top, nothing in that show has said its planned. In fact everything he says is that its not planned and he is a little surprised.

All Cody has to do is lean into the Homelander comparisons for a solid year, maybe 18 months as the Triple H style final boss heel in AEW and they'll start cheering again. It really is that simple a fix. Even The Boys Twitter acknowledged the likeness.






It's money and opportunity wasted if he's clinging to a doomed face run off of ego.

 

[THE 101]

if u really think back when cody did that tone deaf ass patriotic promo as the camera panned to a cac in a black lives matter shirt that the endgame was always for him to turn heel, you're incredibly stupid

if you watched the first episode of his reality show you'd see he really thought he had something special with that promo and that shyt was gonna garner sympathy with the fans that's why he topped it off with bringing back his fathers nickname but everything just resulted in the opposite and now they have to roll with the punches and navigate through that by turning him heel and slowly working towards it... but that was not always in the plan

Please

All AEW and their media cronies did after that Cody MAGA speech was try to push it as some GOAT tier promo.

It was only after the backlash that they started to quiet down about it.

Khan, The Bucks and Cody are all Republicans....of course that bullshyt was supposed to be a babyface promo.

They're probably adjusting now and laying the groundwork for a heel turn but that's only after their original plan for Cody as a white meat babyface has flopped.

 

[Bryan Danielson]

A so called MAGA who shytted on the Confederate Flag

Maybe he one of them good Republicans like….

well I’m not gonna do it but you already know

 

[Jello Biafra]

The end game of this supposed slow burn needs to be Cody, FTR and Andrade as the New Millennium Four Horsemen.
Let Tully stay as their manager.
Send Arn and his Waffle House menu to become the full time coach for his son and Lee Johnson who've been tagging together a lot lately.

The irony of that tweet is where is the pic? Cuz most MAGAs don’t talk about it, they BE about it

Also that tweet don’t look certified with that blue symbol

but whatev’s




and since you brought it up (not me) they HEAVY donors and Cabinet members.

Not just petty random folks that sent $5 once or twice

The slow burn possibly started at Full Gear in the tag match. They didn’t do anything this week to further it tho.

so because he didnt post a picture of him wearing the hat it doesnt validate him tweeting about him wearing it?

that tweet is from his burner account that he deleted, it didnt have a blue symbol because it was a burner account.. he also had xenophobic tweets, brandi and stephen amell both still have tweets up interacting with that account..

you dont have to go against the grain about everything for the sake of being different.. your boy is a maga piece of shyt just like several other people in the wrestling business it's okay you can still enjoy his work without feeling guilty
