WWE: WWE TV - Raw & Smackdown Part 3

[Sheppy]

A big 5 v 5 match, the baby face crew has your world champion in the mix…yet he’s not the focal point.

I hate that Cody is the guy in all of this. Just like he hijacked the huge bloodline story with Zayn.

He’s nauseating.

 

[Scandale du Jour]

Guys, I get that Cody can be annoying, but he is not the one making the booking decisions

 

[Emperoreddy]

How dare Cody be the most popular face in the company. Doesn't he realize HF wrestling doesn't like him?

 

[TD Charlie]

Obviously. I can still find his work to be over the top and shitty, and still think the writing sucks too. They aren't mutually exclusive. He's annoying. The writing for him has been annoying. He has ruined almost everything he's touched for a while now.

All well and good. Maybe shoe horning him into one of the best long term feuds in the last 20 years was a bit overkill? Maybe positioning him as the man to beat while the literal champion is on his team is a bit overkill? They just can't let anybody else get that top spot shine can they? It's been their crutch forever

Why wouldn't they give their top babyface the top babyface spot?

 

[Jussi]

Why wouldn't they give their top babyface the top babyface spot?

Because HFBoards posters don't recognize the concept of logic.

 

[Sheppy]

Oh, I agree that the booking of him is brutal, but lets not act like this guy isn't a corn ball.

It's the melodramatic promos and the over-the-top delivery.

I enjoy his ring work. I think he's a very good in ring performer, but 90% of everything else is cringe to me.

Because HFBoards posters don't recognize the concept of logic.

This is rich.

 

[sansabri]

his character sucks. can't be the every-man your dad was while wearing bespoke suits. crowd absolutely loves him tho. not like when we thought Riddle was over and got mixed with Sami, the fans wanted none of Riddle

 

[Sheppy]

I have absolutely no issue with the crowd loving him. I get it, he's over. The giant "WOAH!" thing kind of helps his case as fans like to latch onto those things.

I don't have to like him, though. That's the beauty of it. The way they're booking him as like a Dr Phil to everyone he touches is brutal.

- He's the reason for Sami/KO to re-unite
- He's the reason for Jey Uso to have a big spot on RAW
- He's the reason Randy is coming back

Is other people liking him so you not liking him is dumb supposed to be some kind of gotcha? Like if you thought AEW Cody was lame I am not sure why you would think WWE Cody is somehow cool now? He got himself over with a new crowd, it was a good move for him obviously. He is still the same Cody that was clowned on in AEW lol and just because other people like something doesn't mean other people have to like or are wrong for not liking something. Supposedly some people like Charlotte? I will never f***ing understand it but they are around and good for them.

I’ll take Cody 900/900 times over that overrated shitbag, Charlotte Flair.

You can find him corny, but demanding the booking be changed because you find him corny is silly.

He is massively over with the crowd, he moves a f*** ton of merch, of course he is in the spot he is.

And the great thing about modern wrestling is you have an Cody-less alternative with all the blood and gore you could want.

"I don't like Cody"

"He is the most popular wrestler in the company!!"

Those things have nothing to do with each other. I don't actively watch WWE, I don't particularly care what they do with Cody just seeing someone counter someone saying they don't like a wrestler with a well he is popular is silly to me. I didn't see anyone say he shouldn't have his spot on the card and honestly....who cares if someone thinks he shouldn't?

How dare you dislike who they tell you to love!

I actually enjoyed a lot of his aew work. Clearly a lot of people did, as it’s a huge reason why he’s in the spot he is today. It just became fake and fraudulent, and it got super stale in a hurry. It’s only gotten worse.

Great wrestler. Very good speaker. The Cena gimmick isn’t a good fit imo.

 

[Emperoreddy]

Right because Cody didn't get over himself.

So you wandered into a WWE thread when you admit you don't watch to take shots at Cody...why?

Was it because you wanted to see women actually booked on a wrestling TV show?

Am I not allowed to or something? There some rule about me not being allowed to read about whats going on in WWE you want to let me know about or something there boss. I also wasn't actually taking shots at Cody my post originally wasn't even about him really lol

Says the guy who comes to the Young Bucks defense every time they are criticized

Kidding aside. I do not think anybody is saying that others should like Cody. Heck, he has been very stale since the Brock feud. Before that, his story was somewhat compelling despite him being a cornball.

He is a good enough wrestler who can carry a program and draw money. That being said, he is absolutely getting the whitemeat babyface push that got Reigns and Cena booed out of buildings. Fans have not turn on him yet, but they will as soon as he gets a superman run with the title.

Well it's basically the the equivalent of going to a prospect's thread and bad mouthing him without ever seeing him play, video or even stats.

I think that would require someone more popular among the fans to rise to a status that would rival him. Those guys existed during Cena's reign But is there anyone as popular right now during Reign's era that could make fans turn on Cody and start supporting that guy, as the one who's take down Roman?

I know this is hard to believe but I have actually watched Cody Rhodes before.

Which is funny because the guy you’re quoting doesn’t watch anything outside of WWE, yet will frequently post in AEW threads.

Could have very well happened with Sami last year, but they directed the heat towards Roman and the Bloodline and it worked.

Could happened this year if they move away from LA Knight to reignite the Cody/Roman program.

If happened to Reigns because they put him in front of Danielson. It happened to Cena after a few title wins. It will happen to Cody once he completed the story. In that sense, Dusty was right, the money is in the chase. Cody got a 2-3 years story out of the chase. It will go downhill after he won the title.

 

[GKJ]

Cody left AEW to get over in WWE.
