The mofo has not cut ONE promo on dynamite since the show started. He tripping
yeah they're just running with the "he's already a god" narrative and to his fans thats true...if you havent dug below the surface and peeped any of his classics you dont know who this dude is other than the fact that his look kind of stands out. they gotta build this dude more for the people who might not have seen him before...

ive see people online say AEW is like backyard wrestling or a bunch of crackheads like TNA...thats how people who arent watching wrestling every week are viewing it...if you dont have your homegrown stars out there doing star shyt its not gonna pop.

when i say his look stands out I really just mean he's a little taller than the avg vanilla midget :pachaha:

but i mean he's basically Jericho's size and by today's standards it stands out if you can actually wrestle. but yeah he's been looking goofy in general.

Philly. Fucc a Eagle. I mean dat.
Just "real quick", since I suppose Cody is probably the only wrestler in the company that somewhat bugs me at the moment (Triple H allusions aside)...

I'd say that his record doesn't really reflect the issue. It's wrestling. It's how he books himself as a character. I actually wouldn't even say it reminds me as much of Triple H as it kind reminds me a tiny bit of Hogan in WCW...

He's lost two singles matches in a year and if we're being technical, he's really only lost one. Let's remember: he lost to Jericho because MJF threw the towel in and then stabbed him in the back. Then, he lost dirty to MJF.

Not a problem. What is? He's a bit blatant in how he makes an effort to push his angles/match to the top of the card as far as importance goes.

First shot ever at AEW title: "If I lose, I will never challenge for the title again." :dwillhuh:

Won't even go into Butcher/Blade...or even the heelish weight belt rule-bending, brother. :manny:

MJF stipulations: Two of those segments main-evented Dynamite in the lead-up to the PPV. Good segments, but this was all while Mox was making his run up to Jericho. Ideally, this won't be a discussion, but if fans start getting the vibe that Mox is getting diminished in favor of The Elite, it'll be Punk's 434-day reign all over again.

Speaking of the MJF match: live band, valet Brandi, coach Arn, Stephen Amell, Downstait live, and an entourage for that entrance, but it's whatever.

TNT title match:
We've got the debut of Jake The Snake and who's he looking for? It's Cody. Arn & Jake sit down to talk about...Cody. Jake attacks Cody's wife. Archer murders his brother. We've got Mike Tyson here to give the new title to...you guessed it. :takedat:

...and him having that belt is fine. I'd never say that he isn't really good in the ring or over. With booking, he just gives off the vibe that he knows he's affiliated with guys that were The Elite before he ever linked up with them and he feels like he has to be over the top with bells & whistles. Even in his match with Darby, he has his wife getting shotgunned into the guardrail only for her to come back to give him water (why, breh?) and then they're both back again for the main event as he debates throwing in the towel for his bro.

Maybe Miley Cyrus is the better comparison. Solid talent with a fanbase that loves her and a family name that works well enough in her industry. "The Climb" or "Wrecking Ball" were his matches with Dustin and Darby...

...then he started twerking. Sure, he still pulled out a "We Can't Stop" at Full Gear and in the build to MJF, but no need for all the extras. :hubie:
I see where you’re going with this and these are all valid points. He could definitely ease up on that “inflation” if you will, of his character, but it’s whatever. It’s sorta working right now. Idk though, I saw MFs crying about Archer losing meaning he was buried or his build up was all for naught when I couldn’t disagree more. I feel you though, he could be treading dangerous waters, I don’t wanna see that.

Kenny Omega and Hangman Page are the only guys I like from The Elite. :manny:

I appreciate what Cody has done in bringing us AEW but as an actual talent, I don't care for him.

While I can appreciate them giving us a loaded tag team division and not treating tag team wrestling as a joke like WWE, fukk The Young Bucks.

Their records are fine

The whole promotion is named after them "Elite". Cody is essentially the head honcho.

How would it look if they were at .500?

They arent being super booked and other wrestlers are getting a chance to shine.
They're still prominently booked tho. It may not be at the detriment of other talent but they're still featured heavily.

Cody's feuds are always prominently featured and his matches are always lenghty. He's challenged for every title so far. New talent typically debuts against Cody for crying out loud.

The Young Bucks are prominently featured and have had title matches against both SCU and Page/Omega.

As for Page and Omega, they usually lose more than the Bucks and Cody but they're prominently featured.

I'm not trying to bash AEW or anything. Just pointing out some things I've noticed during the 1st year of the company.

I recognize but that i think thats how it should be. At least at the start of the promotion. They are the most well known guys. In time they will fade

I honestly believe no matter what they do, some of y’all are going to absolutely shyt on it and hate.

Which is fine, just be honest. No need to pretend if they did some of the some of y’all have fake issues with. It would change your perspectives

Agree on the bolded. Cody has a great mind for the business and is capable of cutting great promos, but he isn't going to light shyt up in the ring compared to the Bucks or Omega.
