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.
His heel character is pretty boring too

he’s just not that interesting of a wrestler

This the internet fault for praising that bloodbath with Dustin. He been trying to get than old thang byke ever since. I haven't watched that match since it was live. Liked it then but in hindsight them wrestling in a pool of blood for 30 mins is the first red flag.

:laff:dudes just be typing shyt. As an OG Cawdy hater i dont want to be lumped in w you clowns.
...all three make me want to not watch as much as almost anyone wrestler doing it. My only scale for judging anything in wrestling is 'is it entertaining'. Cody is as unentertaining to me as those 2 :manny:

His entire career i've only liked the original, pre-facemask/bag Dashing Cody Rhodes. That shyt was hillarious. But outside of that he's Jeff Jarrett and i abhor jeff jarrett.

:francis:When the last time you seen fans hyped up to see Cawdy out of such a roster? Jarret at least embrace his inner heel. Last time Cawdy was on the radar was on his Indy/American Nightmare steez:ehh:

Cody is way way more talented, and accomplished, but in 2021 "do I want to watch them when they're on my tv?"...yeah. Cody = Michael Nakazowa.

Cawdy was one of the better parts of AEW at first. Dude had an old school NWA/JCP vibe for his matches that nicely counterbalanced a lot of the goofier indy shyt going on elsewhere on the show. Even then though I knew one day he would totally lose the plot, the first red flag was that AEW title match where he took a totally reckless and unnecessary stage bump on his face that I’m pretty sure he still has the scar from. Then the ugly neck tattoo :francis: as the company evolved he never did, and that’s at the same time that his real life personality was becoming off putting. Now we’re at the point where he’s totally out of touch and tone deaf doing dumb shyt looking for any sort of cheer and it just comes off sad and pathetic
