I love how Dave Meltzer is so butt-hurt about Cody leaving AEW that he had to say WWE used his AEW music. He was using the music before AEW was a thing.
Cody used it since he started his indy journey back to WWE. Starting in 2016 with the goofy fuckers in a community centre in California
See how simple things resonate better? Cody's "I wanna win this for my dad." Roman's "You don't have what it takes to carry this burden." Seth's "I wanna be on Wrestlemania." Bryan's "I'm not just a B+ player". Simple, easy to understand and easy to get behind, if only WWE and AEW do this more often lol.
This issue is they ruin the simple stuff like Naomi and Sonya deville the build up for months just for rousey to steal her thunder. Baron Corbin broke he literally captured the wrestling world for a month wwe had to make him rich and end the redemption arc everyone wanted to see
💯
@@pleaseshutup7053 yeah, exactly and Brian described with Seth as well, how hard is it to just have him hijack everyone but instead they had him go to Vince's office in a cringe segment.
AEW is high school shit lol.
He's my friend...
No he's mine....
We'll have a match do decide...
Gay af (in a non homophobic way)
40 writers can't justify their position with simple.
That's the problem. It used to be one (or two) guys setting the direction and the wrestlers themselves would be the ones filling the gaps, so it came across as halfway real.
Modern promos sound like teenagers "acting" in high school plays
Cody’s been presented as a star in WWE, he’s said “wrestler” & “belt” on WWE tv & he’s positioned front & center on the new Raw banner. & he’s made his World title aspirations clear from Day 1.
Hes appeared twice
When did he saw wrestler and belt? 🤔
@@MegaFinalRound his promo on raw he said Belt
Im still trying to figure out why he dress's like a extra for the Sargent pepper album cover
@@tomr3422 😂 now I can’t unsee it
For anyone who doesn't get the 'brown M&M's' reference, it is an old Van Halen reference. Back in the last 70s and early 80s when they toured, they sent a list of requests to the venues to tell them what they needed. Not flashy rockstar demands, it was a list of how the stage and the electrical should be hooked up and where. Back then, not every venue was up to code, and they had to make sure that their gear would work. So to make sure they actually read the list, and not just ignored it, they threw in the 'no brown M&M's' clause. So if they went backstage, and saw a bowl of M&M's with no browns in them, then they were pretty sure the venue actually read their list. If they saw browns in the bowl, they would have to go out and double check everything to make sure they did it right.
Oh wow thats really interesting. Thanks for the background info!
That's an awesome tidbit! I kind of understood of like doing it the 'star way', as in acting as a prima donna, but this makes a lot of sense, very cool! :)
The fact he managed to get some heat on Hogan just out of the blue was hilarious, looking forward to his match with Miz next week if that turns into a feud I wouldn't mind it at all.
I will always pop for shit talking Hogan no matter the event
It’s crazy how hulk hogan is always booed now just by name. I get it but The #1 guy in the business ever is hated by fans
@@pleaseshutup7053 part of it is warranted part because of bandwagon hate and part his colleagues aren't too fond of him.
lol and people think he will be main eventer . a feud with miz means he is a midcarder now
@@davyjones2032 the Tna run didn’t help him either. It’s just weird because most fandoms the #1 person they would usually give a pass to. Not wrestling fans tho. My biggest issue with hogan is not doing the match with Bret hart at summerslam 93
As an AEW fan, you can really tell Cody is a true WWE guy. Happy for him
Yeah, he obviously needs money. The honeymoon won't last long when Vince is grilling him to say "title" instead of "belt", shave 15 minutes off promos, etc.
AEW fans always have to preface that they’re AEW fans before saying something positive or sane because they know the fanbase is batshit.
@Arctic Falcon honeymoon still going on over here (:🥂
Cody said that he chose seth because of seths relationship with dusty, he (dusty) was seths mentor in nxt and when seth won the nxt title and dusty hugged seth, cody said he was jealous at the time but now he's greatful.
Cody came from that promo feeling like a STAR. There is no denying that
Could he be that person that dethrones Roman? Maybe but there is no denying that he is one of the top guys in WWE right now
He handicapped himself in AEW by taking himself out of the title pic and of course the "Booker of the Year" didn't help not listening to him
It’s going to be either him or Breaker who dethrone Reigns at this point, no other options really make any sense to me. Cody makes sense because he’s been billed as a star and the journey for him to finally win the big one and against Reigns would he special and Breaker makes sense because he’s clearly the next guy in the WWE so he’d make sense in beating Reigns too but yeah those guys are the only ones who make sense beating him to me
It seems too darn early for Cody to be near the title. He just got in the Company.
Tony didnt listen to him? Did you see the 3 years of his over the top entrances, long winded boring fake emotional promos that he was doing nearly every week? If anything Tony should have put a stop to that shite years ago. Cody is so fucking boring.
L take
Cody won the NWA world title. He can already make the claim that he won the same title his dad did. now he can get the belt Dusty couldnt
Dusty won it, its just not official reign, same as Kendrick is technically a former WWE champ as he won it as part of a championship scramble. It just got taken off him.
Wrong only the aew njpw and wwe titles are real world titles
@@pleaseshutup7053
Be your name!
You're missing the entire point. The entire point is that he specifically needs to win the WWE Championship to do what his father didn't do. If you wins another world title he has not done with his father didn't.
@@pleaseshutup7053 the nwa title got unified into the wwe title decades ago
I see how Seth Rollins fits into the big picture of Cody Rhodes' journey to the WWE Championship (not the Unified Championship). The key to making a lot of money on Cody Rhodes' journey to the WWE Championship is the long chase. Remember that Cody Rhodes's journey is all about his father, Dusty Rhodes.
Jim Cornette overlooked Seth Rollins' history with Dusty Rhodes. Dusty taught Seth Rollins how to become a WWE superstar when Rollins was in development, and you can bet Rollins views Dusty as a father figure. When Dusty was still alive, he Tweeted a picture of Seth Rollins and declared that Rollins was a future WWE Champion. You can bet that Tweet will be factored into the feud, as well as Seth Rollins winning the WWE Championship in 2014 while Cody Rhodes was languishing as Stardust.
As for the WWE Championship, I can picture Cody Rhodes winning a #1 contender match for the Unified Championship for Summerslam. Meanwhile, Set Rollins wins the the Money in the Bank that only allows him to choose one world championship. While Cody Rhodes and Roman Reigns beat the hell out of each other at Summerslam, Seth Rollins cashes in the Money in the Bank contract to make it a Triple Threat Match (like he did to Roman Reigns and Brock Lesnar at Wrestlemania 31) specifically for the WWE Champsionship. Rollins will pin Cody Rhodes to win the WWE Championship as a screwy way to get the WWE Championship off Roman Reigns without Reigns actually taking the loss, and keeping Reigns' reign of terror as Universal Champion intact.
With Rollins as WWE Champion and a complete maniac, the mind games will truly begin. Rollins can easily make the feud personal by referring to himself as the son Dusty always wanted (especially that world championship prediction Tweet), and remind Cody Rhodes about how much of a failure Cody was to the family name while Rollins was succeeding. Rollins will put up obstacles that prevent Cody Rhodes from winning the WWE Championship for awhile, which eventually forces Cody Rhodes to fight his way back into Championship contention. Either Cody Rhodes will win the Royal Rumble or a #1 contender match in the Elimination Chamber so he can get to Seth Rollins at Wrestlemania 39, where Cody Rhodes journey to the WWE Championship can reach its conclusion. This will be a lot like the redemption arc set up for Bianca Belair when she finally took down Seth Rollins' wife.
I really hope somebody in WWE reads this
Bro u are a genius
WWE need to hire you
I’m for all of this!!!
This is exactly what needs to happen
Cody Rhodes has mentioned on a few interviews. Even official WWE ones. That the decision to stay out of the world title picture in AEW was a huge mistake that he didn't think through because he handicapped his career and he knew he was never going to go anywhere in AEW because of that one decision. And that is why it wasn't that difficult to walk away.
He said that if he decided to change it and get himself back into the title picture would be a disservice to the fans and AEW. So the only way he would ever be a World Champion was to go to the WWE, Japan, or any other promotion. But the offer by Vince was better than good. So he didn't have to think hard to make the decision to jump. And one of the things that also contributed to him going was the Dusty Rhodes documentary that would tell the true story, good an bad, the WWE is producing and he said even the parts that paint the WWE in a negative light was also agreed to.
That’s dumb they could have easily gone around that do a stipulation where he puts his career on the line for a title shot
@@pleaseshutup7053 not really that dumb. As stated in the original comment Cody said he felt like it would be a disservice if he backtracked and won the AEW title and I highly doubt he would want to end his career
Even simpler, Tony Khan has already said a number of times that Cody's stipulation that he would never wrestle for the AEW Title again was CODY'S stipulation and AEW officially did not acknowledge this. Cody turns heel and challenges for the belt, breaking his word. Easy, done. But Cody just didn't want to turn heel I guess.
Not that I blame Cody for jumping ship to WWE, he's probably making a shitload of money and he's finally going to achieve his real dream, plus his style of pageantry and over the top nature is something WWE fans will like.
He booked himself as the territory babyface, but had no foil whatsoever among the sea of talent that hasn't been on major network television. He had no way of interjecting himself into Jericho-Moxley with Omega waiting in the wings. MJF wasn't ready to compete for the title.
Taking a shortcut and cutting himself off at the knees as a replacement for a heel foil seemed noble if it was going somewhere. He had to be heel to break that promise. The fans resented the presentation, being smart enough to know he could play the EVP card and get to the title easily. He refused to do it, which led to him being trapped in a box and ping ponging the TNT title. He made a good business decision in leaving. AEW didn't need him anymore since there was already a show going on with decent storylines and young talent getting over outside of the Cody-verse. By the end of his run, he was under a mask tagging with a jobber on AEW Dark. It was time. He will probably return to get his flowers in his post-WWE run in a few years.
@@RAMENn00dleb0y Tony Khan is also a lying piece of garbage who believes AEW hate is all fake bots and sabotage so who are you actually gonna believe?
Lol. Last Week:
Brian: when he was on AEW and he did the “what do you want to talk about” stuff… I hated it
First words from Cody on RAW: What do you want to talk about 😂😂
I was waiting on the same thing to see what Brian would say about it.
Cody knows how to work the crowd
Literally lol
Kinda really bummed out WWE didn't cash in on Bum Corbin, that was his best character, people in mania crowd would go insane for what promo or segment he would have
Yeah ,bum Corbin was the only good thing at that time
I can almost guarantee Codys head movement is him trying NOT to cry. He feels the cry coming and shakes it off.
Yup. You can tell.
It’s a physical tick that he has when tearing up. Watch any Bret Hart interview where he starts to get emotional and he immediately puts his fist over his mouth like he’s about to cough.
This promo was a perfect example of “wrestling is real, people are fake”
This Promo was scripted!!
Showed how money can turn people into hypocrites
@@robertpratt8023 it's funny because Brandi was saying "ready for something non scripted?" Or something along those lines on Twitter last Monday. Lol. It was nice tho
Yep these replies prove my point
@@robertpratt8023 cody writes his own promos tho
Cody Rhodes is smart. He didn't want to turn heel even though fans turned on him in AEW. So he found a way to get cheered by being the first AEW defector and WWE will push him to the moon for that exact reason.
i dont think so . no one got pushed to the moon unless if u are roman thats it
@@basimmicheal4371 Cody getting paid 3 million from WWE that’s not Jobber money and he’s definitely getting a world title reign
@@joeyskywalker1322 I'll talk to you when he gets to mid card status in 6 months to a year 😏
I think it had a lot more to do with backstage stuff. Idk about fans thinking they had something to do with a guy completely leaving a company
@@sinjinsmythe1571 Lol as long as Cody is featured regularly on television and in a good storyline or angle he’s good but he’s definitely getting that title reign WWE not stupid they know if they book Cody good alotta talent in AEW is gonna be interested in going to WWE
videos starts at 0:00
thanks genius
Thanks bro couldn't figure out when it started
Thank you I don't have any time to waste these nights.
Mucho gracias
You're a hero
There's definitely an air of anti-AEW, or at least anti-AEW fanboy, with the embracing of Cody. He's like the anti-CM Punk, instead of people rallying behind him because he hates the corporate evil empire, he's back home after realizing the grass wasn't greener on the other side.
The irony in this is that Punk is learning that same lesson. He's in AEW and talked up the impact that he and Danielson could have there, even likening it to the nWo in WCW. Well, months later, their ratings barely hit 1m viewers on occasion and they are booking even smaller venues for most of their events now. Punk had a great feud with MJF, but has done nothing before or since.
That ramp looks like something Darby would ride his skateboard down
Vince saw Cody's confidence & ability to get a huge reaction & get the fans to have an emotional response it sold in a big way it's rest for Cody it's great for Vince it's great for the fans I'm glad creative didn't try to fix what would obviously work as Mr Cornett stated he kept it simple relatable & honest so it worked out great Vince recognized the fact Cody's nuts dropped during his time away from WWE & is now ready to fulfill his destiny as a top tier WWE superstar rather than taking a backseat to the ever changing aew next big thing
OK expert insider 🙄 Cody didn't have to prove anything to Vince...surely all of this was factored into his contract before he signed lol
I believe Cody did everything on the indies and helped forming aew just to show Vince he messed up back then
Now Cody is back and he's a main event talent heck he's been treated as the Face of Raw and I'm glad he's back in wwe because for some reason Cody fits more in wwe than aew
Cody in aew was too phony with all the "I won't turn heel" crap now he can't do that in wwe and he has a purpose in wwe he wants to win the wwe championship for the american dream its just great
It’s been a week relax

@@coreyhardwick4660 no I'm glad you have broke this news to the world. Wait here. I'm getting the Associated Press.
@@coreyhardwick4660 nothing fake about wrestling you clown.
This is the most lenient Vince has been in a negotiation
Vince: we want stardust pal
Cody: no! I want my own music played, my own gear, I own my own name and you won't change me, I write my own promos, keep Johnny Ace away from my wife involving the women's division, and I also have my own BUS.
Vince: it's a deal 🤝
His Promo was wrote by the writers FYI
I think they’re missing the point like everyone else is. The story he’s trying to tell is that he’s similar to a comic book hero. He’s the hero who’s been cast aside (Stardust) and saw his future was going to be a joke like his brother (Goldust). So he decides to leave finally after his father dies (The superhero going on a journey to discover himself after tragedy occurring). He became a better version of himself and brings his brother in to save him, marries a wife... Has epic match with his brother in honor of their dad. Eventually he’s cast aside in AEW and heads back to where it all began to avenge his father and win the belt. That’s what I see in his character or maybe I’m just a stooge and a Mark!!!
Nah brother. You get it
Wow, okay.. now after hearing it that way it makes me think.. did cody get pissed in AEW because CMpunk was about to run with a "comic book style" storyline with mjf an he wanted that angle 🤔 an thats why he left because TK thought it would be done better by punk an maxwell than it would by Cody 🤔
@@blancosfamilyfarm1798 no, now it has you over thinking, come on now.
@@malikevans2615 trust me bro, im not one to over think lmao but I do wonder what the problem was between Cody an Tony.. money, storyline, personal issues. What.. ya know what I meen..
HEY! i liked golddust. he was just strung out on drugs and alcohol runnin around bein gay and kissing dudes that didnt wanna be kissed😂😂😂it was funny af. cody is just skidmark for himself.
I think the handshake and the look (by Cody) may be a way of officially starting a feud between Seth and Cody.
Seth's grin and laugh during that handshake tells me there's more to the story we've yet to see. Pretty sure they have another Seth vs Cody match scheduled a few weeks down the road on Raw
Im seeing the match-up as a gatekeeper testing the incoming to deem their worthiness. Seth is the top worker for wwe. Cody passed. This could be a feud but maybe down the line if seth gets the belt back.
WWE holds lightning in a bottle with Cody Rhodes. Let's hope they don't mess it up!
What does "messing it up" mean to you? I ask that seriously because I see it often lately. Seems clear he'll be in the top guy slot with lots of promo time and merchandise. Given the amount of money he was given and the amount of promotion time he'll be fine. It'll be a long payoff.
@@davyjones2032 Do you really need someone to spell it out for you? Fiend Hell in a Cell was a mess up. Fiend jobbing to Oldberg was a mess up. REtritubion was a mess up. Breaking up the Iconics was a mess up. The list goes on and on. Take your head out of the sand.
@@chinafuture6484 Did Retribution or the fucking Iconics(lmao) have a huge Mania debut vs one of the most decorated wrestlers in the company? Did they mess up Becky? How about Bianca? How about Kevin Owens? How about Edge? Styles? Bryan? Did they mess up Bobby or Drew's return? Goldberg was as popular as Austin and Rock in his prime but ok I'll give you Fiend. Hell i could have also said Cesaro or Kross. Wtf was special about Retribution? You could have said breaking up Hurt Business but Retribution is Mr Fantastic reach lmao.
@@davyjones2032 Go get your special needs teacher to show you how to use the enter key to for actual paragraphs, corky. But thanks for proving that WWE fans are mentally stunted. 😂
He’s going to mess it up before they do
Here's the thing, Cody's promos felt fake and overly staged in AEW. His promos haven't changed, but every promo in WWE is so fake and staged that Cody feels the most real.
l really liked the promo, but haven't seen his AEW ones except the very last one.
Exactly! I can’t really think of any WWE promo recently that comes across as legit. It all looks so acted it makes me sick. That’s what I like about AEW.
@@TraumaER Brock lesnar promos as the cowboys feels real. Or edge when he was feuding with reigns saying he has to win
💯
Exactly what I was thinking. The WWE writers didn’t write that promo. Cody did. That alone makes Cody feel more legitimate than 90% of the WWE roster.
I am a Cody fan since he first joined wwe. Dashing Cody Rhodes was a great heel, him as us iwgp champion was great, and he was a decent roh champion (though brief). Cody Rhodes and aj styles are my two favorite wrestlers and I’m interested in wwe again now that he has returned.
The fact that the Miz hasn’t been future endeavored, (and is in fact a top guy) proves that hard work beats talent every time. I’ve never seen anything special about the guy, but I have to give him his credit.
No credit. Jus one of the ones Vince likes
Yeah, but no matter how hard Miz works, he hasn't done anything that good in some time.
Miz special in the mic you fool. Vince saw it from day one that’s why when Miz had the early character in 2005 he was horrible but Vince kept him on tv.
@@billh344 I would love to get paid the money miz is making for stuff that’s “not good”
If Smarks hate you in real life you're probably good if not great at what you do. Miz can make anyone look good in ring. Bad Bunny and Logan Paul looking as natural as they did has a lot to do with Miz' help. He knows how to talk, be hateable, and be a company spokesperson. He's the douchebag that quite literally gets the hot chick and the jocks as well as dorks are dumbfounded. Miz is awesome.
I had never seen Dusty not fat. I just kinda assumed he was always fat.
Seth's playing off the Joker's mannerisms. Can't wait for the Cody n Randy's matchups!
Joker v Homelander
His promo felt like Jon Lovitz, "master thespian," as interpreted by Cody Rhodes
Acting!
Guys... I'll tell you excatly what's been going on with Cody Rhodes these last few years. Cody doesn't want to do wrestling anymore. He'll wrestle, sure. But what he really wants now, at this point of his life, is to be a celebrity. He wants to be famous outside of wrestling. It makes perfect sense.
1. He boxed himself with that AEW world title stipulation cause being world champion wasn't his end game.
2. That weekly open challenge for the TV tile was for him to get exposure. To be watched every week getting win after win after win and just building momentum for himself.
3. The reason he kept disappearing was to do "mainstream" projects. Appearances on Arrow, being a judge on Go-Big Show, starring in his own reality tv series. This is exactly what Dwayne Johnson, John Cena, the Bellas did to get them mainstream outside of wrestling.
4. He went back to the WWE because everyone I just mentioned became celebrities with the WWE's backing. That's most likely what he wanted from the Khans and they said "no". Tony's main focus was wrestling and everything else was minimal and I believe that's why Cody left. Cause they weren't going to help him become a celebrity outside of wrestling.
5. That's why Cody didn't want to turn heel. Cause he would be less marketable in show-business if people "hated his character". Everyone I previously mentioned we're getting pushed in their outside projects when they were baby faces.
6. His bad booking with Anthony Ogogo, Aleister Black, Andrade El Idolo, were the results of Cody being shoehorned in to a story line. Because he didn't have much to do outside of wrestling, he would go back to AEW to continue getting exposure. But because he would come and go so often, Tony wasn't able to make consistant story lines that made sense for him so he would let Cody do what Cody wanted.
It all makes so much sense. Cody Rhodes wants to be a celebrity. He wants to be famous outside of wrestling. Pure and simple.
*How long* before *Brandi demands screen time* and kills Cody's career *like she did in AEW?*
She can keep her screen time to a certain other website
Brandi will be the raw gm and the Rhodes will run wwe.
The tiny box and the fake voice cracking was killin me lol ....the voice crack for his brother went A LOT smoother I have to admit.
It ruined the promo. He didn’t have to do that at all.
Same “emotional” promo he’s been doing for like 3 years now lmaooo
@@AK47Gang100 that head twist is fucking ridiculous. Of course it’s over with WWE lol
@@MilkmanC hahah I just re-watched it and it’s so bad lmao
@@AK47Gang100 Exactly.. My Dad... the american drem.. Dusty Rhodes. Cheap Dusty pop, cheap Hogan heat. Cringe af. Heard this all 3 years ago.
Cody did that jerk neck thing when he started to cry as Mark Henry did when Mark started to cry in his promo during the fake retitement angle. It's legit. You try to cry on the spot and stop. Relax Brian.
Lmfao you’re the only one that needs to relax. You sound so butt hurt.
Cody will always be Cody, but I want to see where things go. He appears to be a babyface and for now, the fans are happy to see him. We shall see how this last. I'm happy for Cody, as long as Brandi stays off screens which could sadly be short-lived.
Brandi doesn't have a contract and she's busy trying to do other shit
Wwe puts smiles on faces, including Cody and his elevating platform
On which he should be on
Wwe does not. They used to
@@lilgenx8361 guess the kids and family at attendance are just miserable then lol
The camera shot of him coming up was funny. The promo itself was perfect for WWE's style of presentation: The workshop, beating around the bush style. Hopefully, WWE doesn't screw with him on this run and he goes Stardust 2.0 again.
He probably drew more money as stardust
He's not going to be Stardust anymore, Cody made that clear
@@chadk890 Never know what Halloween could bring over the next few years
Passive aggressive
@@anthonysoto2923 Of course it was. I was saying that they better not screw this run up, given WWE's track record and he can easily adapt to the way they do things.
"I want to win the world title for my father." carries a lot more gravitas when you don't have a stake in the company and its not the actual title that Dusty got a sniff of.
It carries a lot more weight when it is the same title and when it's the same guy that bestows the honour on you.
It also becomes meaningless when the guy saying it has been burying the company for the past. 5 years
It's ok because the WWE marks are so happy he's back, They'll cheer for anything coming from a guy who just 3 months ago was burying their company.
@@MaskedAvenger13 isn't HHH his best friend now? it's monday you know what that means? crying promo time.
The WWE team fixed Cody's RAW entrance this week, eschewing the box and ramp and replacing it with smoke and an explosion. It's some good shit.
:27 nice Van Halen concert rider reference. I have always liked this guy. Always will. :)
Its rare we get a great debut by a quality talent like Cody that leads to top notch story telling, matches, promos. Rare to actually give a shit about what’s going to happen with any superstar or storyline. Sit back enjoy it. Seeing too much negativity in the comments.
I love jim, but cody returns was perfect, I don't think he was over acting, like, a problem with a head twice? Really? Cody the best thing to happen to wwe in a long time, i think aew is a better product and wwe is lucky to have cody
THE CROWD SUCKED.... never felt like raw after wrestlemania.... dammit jim cornette was right about that but not specifically only about cody whole show the crowd was dead
I hope he gets all the praise when he vs Miz
That crowd attended smackdown,nxt ppv,2 wrestlemanias and raw for straight 4 days so I won't blame them also raw was pretty meh for a raw after mania show so that also didn't help
Raw after mania used to be so special just for the crowd and all the surprises but now it just feels like another raw of the year which sucks
Can you blame them? That Raw sucked aside from Cody's promo. Even the long hyped up Veer Mahaan debut was a lame run-in at the end of a match.
@@sarjeshkhadgi2841 agreed straight up facts
It was better the Brit’s that ruin the show weren’t there
It’ll be interesting to see if Cody has the same reaction from the non-mark, post Mania, everyday WWE audience the same way he did with this one. A good wrestling story can always get over if given time, but that’s always been Vince’s biggest problem, refusing to stick with the initial plan.
Bryan Last, what the hell did Cody do to you?? Why the hate?? He's been back 2 shows but it's been great! Cody is awesome in WWE at this moment and he has always been a sports entertainer and that might be why AEW fans slowly turned on him. He was made to do this. And him vs Reigns is a story that tells itself. How could you not be think this is cool? He left and basically started A WHILE COMPANY!! And don't say Tony Khan Cody was def the catalyst. Dusty would be proud.
Cody will be treated as a top star and rightly so given his achievements since leaving vince,given the amount of top working talent bad matches should be few and far between and he obviously had creative control(also vindicated),I think it’s money all day long
Bloodline vs. Bloodline. It's a long time historical story. Roman is all about the history of his family. Cody is all about the history of his family. This is the clash of history of the business. It's bloodline vs. bloodline.
The elevator Cody uses wasn’t made specifically for him. Edge has used it multiple times for his Brood entrances.
also Rey would would be popped out of it too.
Vince will have him hatching from an egg dressed as a Cajun nunn who is being controlled by a electic Meat Thermometer being operated by brother love in 4 months, tops.
Jeez that transition to the ad. Really makes you wanna buy whatever it is
Michael Cole would make sure you know that the box is actually...a box-like structure
I think Cody is a great combo of new and old wrestling.(matches, promos, etc)
at least his entrance gimmick is solid material. MVP had an inflatable bounce house arch
I dont know what they're gonna do with Cody. Do they hot shot him by summerslam and put him in a title match then? Or do they drag it out for an entire year and have cody challenge for the world title next wrestlemania and win it there for the huge moment? I don't know. It's too soon to tell. We shall see. WWE can shit the bed here.
They really can. They've dropped the ball so many times that I have no faith in them but putting the belt on Cody would be fitting IF the people are still behind him and the storyline is right
Problem is they don't have any good talent left for him to even defend the belt, sorry, TITLE against.
FINALLY. I knew they had to get the Mania stuff out of the way. But I was waiting on this review.
Cody got the love he deserves for the past 2-3 years. aew fans just wanted him to heel, and boo'd him, while he would put over low card wrestlers and help build the roster. Literally made malachi black and Sammy's career idgaf what peeps say.
I was very glad he got the hero cheer, after all the blood sweat and tears he's put outside the wwe ring, he flourished at the big show, and deserved that "top guy money"
@5:38 yes, Cody saved this story because the impact of it is huge in WWE. In AEW it would not have nearly as big an impact.
It’s the same ramp used at day one for edges brood entrance
I know it's still very early but it's already starting to feel like Cody has less pressure on himself in the WWE environment. it's like he has been liberated. Maybe he doesn't feel like he needs to worry about everything and do too much since he's not an EVP anymore. He's in a company with experience so he can focus on making his own stuff as good as possible. I am so glad Vince McMahon is going all in into this and I want to see Cody wrestle Roman Reigns and company! Let's hope they don't drop the ball on this...
Cody made his entrance, I told my brother that this is the biggest win a e w could have ever imagined, by bringing Cody Rhodes back and elevating him as a top guy, but keeping his gimmick from aew. He is the aew, Ring of Honor, New Japan pro wrestling Cody Rhodes. He is not stardust or the guy who was in the tag team with what's his face B
Holy crap, here it is, I just watched the last video and said I was waiting on this, holy crap
The dam ramp was literally one of the ramps from the back of a Uhaul truck.. 🤣
The transition from the topic to the sponsor is always so seamless. 😂
Seth had a controversial loss to Roman at Rumble where Seth looked great, Lossed to KO straight up setting KO up for Austin, then went to a draw vs Lashley so he hadn't really been on a losing streak.
Seth didn't even lose to Roman. He won. Titles just don't change hand on DQ.
Cody vs seth is 100% batman vs the joker lol.
Awesome Shoot Today Jim!!😎🐐🐐
“He danced and he swam and he sashayed his way to the ring…” 🤣
Knowing WWE... they’ll do a story line where he holds the belt too with a gimmick finish but doesn’t end up taking it home like his dad to do a longer story line or something
I'm ngl as a videographer I see what they did with that video package. They dead cut out all the execution of each move so it wouldn't look funny when they do with the the Vince stunner .
The line before the intro was “Wrestling has more than one royal family.”
WWE and AEW have two total different fanbases.
Cody's little ramp is what you put on your bed so your small or old dog can travel up & down without having to jump.
He's basically come back at the right time with the right gimmick and storyline and they always say timing is everything and this shows that point perfectly,the fans are fully invested in this title quest deal but once it's done then what? That is the real test in keeping it going but they can certainly make the quest last until next wrestlemania
On the WM press conference Cody said something about him constantly thinking about what facial expression he should do. I can't unsee that know.
Yall trippin and I luv Brian and Corny. That promo be is scripted or not was the best promo next to Takers HOF speech and William Regals promo on AEW that I have seen in about 10 years. All of those promos had me shedding a tear and I do not cry for shit. Very felt. Cody speaks for ppl that have been Screwed by people in power. Be it at a job or wherever. They screwed him when he was first in wwe. Then they took the neame. He won it back and he won me over in AEW. Still a fan of AEW. The talent of wwe is wearing thin but the very few like Cody keep me checking it out. Now that Cody is back he is getting the flowers that he deserved. I love it. And yall just going to act like Rey Misterio hasnt jumped from the bottom of the ramp for 10 years?!?! Cody brings that old school feel with today's time and it works! Trust me other then Brock and like 3 other guys, after Taker retired I had no interrst in WWE at all in the past few years and I have watched wrestling for close to 30 years. Thank u Cody !
Cudos to Jim for taking a subtle shot at himself with the “anyone who comes out of a box is automatically over” line
Wish Cornette got told about how Cody quoted Kung Fu Panda during his promo
I'm pretty sure it was the same box/ramp that Edge used for his Wrestlemania thrown entrance. I'm sure it was a last minute decision for Cody to use it on Raw.
I agree with Corny can't figure out where Rollins character is going or what he is. I wish he'd go back to his, gosh I can't recall the name but whatever it was 3 or 4 years ago before he went nuts.
The guys who have the most creative control are the most over and the biggest stars in WWE. Brock, Roman, and Cody have more creative control than anyone else and they’re the most over. Why can’t WWE see they don’t need to micromanage everyone’s every word.
So y'all think Vince's Closeted self Golddust comes back? I think Dustin would pop now for the 1st time. You got that legenary rant. Maybe make him Dustin w/like a Gold Star over his eye. Gold pants. But it's Dustin. That shit would pop.
Cody is the one thing that will bring me back to Raw. It's been years since I watched an episode. I've been a fan of Cody since day one though. I was always annoyed that they made the Legacy angle more about Orton and DiBiase; probably just because DiBiase was physically bigger. It was plain to see who was more talented. It became more evident when Cody went Dashing.
Idk go look at matches with the legacy you can hear Ted had more heat and fans were ready to se him square off with orton watch the pops in 2010.
Dibiase was bigger and Orton is Orton. That no kneepads Cody was as generic as it gets. I'd almost bet since he was the underdog of the three you rooted for him. Dashing Cody and Broken Cody was awesome tho.
@@pleaseshutup7053 Fans went with what the program was doing. Had they had segments with Cody over Ted it would have been the same thing if not better. Cody was already a better talker.
@@poindexterflex3528 that’s not how fans work
because Cody is boring and generic af
It certainly comes across that Cody was playing the long game all along. I really hope it comes to fruition and he gets a decent run with the belt. It would be looked back as a very good long term plan
I noticed that too they actually made it look like it was a good stunner on Vince, how freak they did that? i'll never know
If they play it right, Cody & Monologue Messiah could be the top 2 Raw talents battling over the Title when it's separated again...
i'm sorry, that to me was 100% real on Cody's choking up. I have lost my father, and when you talk about him like that, on national tv no less, he's trying NOT to get all teary and keep it together. that's what I heard as I listened, at least
Would never happen but if he wins the title, bring back big gold to sweeten the moment
I know this is not the right video to comment on but not sure where else to put it, I can't WAIT to hear what Cornette will say about the Wheeler Yuta match. To me I thought it was fantastic, but Corny is hardly ever complementary unless it's to CM Punk
Hell of a promo. Good and simple story to work with. It helps people love Dusty.
That promo was 100% scripted. Cody is just a puppet dancing on Vince's strings now.
Didn't they use a similar box for Mysterio, back in the day? I remember when the arenas wouldn't allow for the stage, they had a gimmick for him to spring out of.
Imagine naming yourself after Adam Cole lol
@@freedomisslavery6840 sorry to burst your bubble, bud. That is my name. I just also happen to have spent time in the business, first match being in 1998, a good decade before Austin began using my name. And just so happen to have in ring footage from before his debut. I've gotten out of the business several years ago, so there's no issues. But, who am I to let facts get in the way of a narrative. That's the American way, right?
@@QCS_AdamCole Bodied him bro.
@@QCS_AdamCole completely destroyed guy
11:50 Mr. Cornete (who's never gonna read this), I think this was more or less his plan/wish all along. And we can all agree on that. It was always the man's dream.
Cornette missed Rollins saying "Welcome home." off mic to Cody when they were in the ring on RAW.
He missed a whole bunch, also he hates Seth Rollins.
@@ItachiUchiha-ut6xj He doesn’t hate Seth though. He’s said over a hundred times on this podcast he likes Rollins and has since the RoH days. Why do you feel you have to lie on the internet? It’s so easily disproven
@@juliotorres3147 i only started listening to Jim recently. I did not know he said that. I thought he hated him because in every clip I listened to, when Seth is mentioned Jim always starts bashing him.
I like to think Cody preserved the box Rey Mysterio used to jump out of in his earlier years
I was waiting for this one
me too
Isn’t this the same story Cody told at All In? Win it for my Dad? Is Randy Orton still talking about Bob? Did Bray cut promos on the belt IRS never won? One time through the Nostalgia is fine, but how many times do we go down this well?
AEW explainning something - I dont know what happen to the real corny, Brian Last Free the real Corny!!
Cody Rohes - I still havent figured out why he is dressed up like a reject from the Sargent Pepper Album cover
This is gonna be another WCW situation. Promise the moon, and start them off well enough. Then one day you come into work and your losing a scooter race against RKBro. Then your Stardust.
Wwe doesn’t have a bunch of main event stars that are in the way
They did the same with Edge when he did the brood entrance.
This is going to be a interesting story. I can see a lot of climbing before Cody wins the title. This is the perfect time to break him again and have him make his way back up to ultimately lose at the garden. Then have him redeem himself at Mania.
Perfect time to break him? He's been back all of two weeks on TV as of my typing this. Too early for that
