April 5, 20223 yr comment_5979026 To me, Cody’s the home run hitter that strikes out every third at-bat — for every spectacular promo he had in AEW, he’d have a delusional ramble that was completely counter-productive to the feud he was in. His fallback tendency is always to indulge in meta crap, which is a double-edged sword: he basically drowned his last few months in AEW in cryptic bullshit but, as the plucky underdog leading the plucky underdog promotion during his first few months in AEW, he was the best promo the company had. The best situation for Cody is that the WWE writing team lets him handle his own promos, but not his own storylines. And, ideally, keep him out of the ring as much as possible.
April 5, 20223 yr comment_5979030 I think Cody gets a bad rep in the ring, he's decent in the ring his problem is that he depends on smoke and mirrors in his matches. Hopefully, WWE will tone that down during this current run of his.

Yes, he had a great match with an all-time great worker (his own brother) in an extraordinary circumstance. His match with Rollins last night almost undid all of his momentum coming into WWE (though Rollins certainly bears some of the blame for that as well). Is it unreasonable to say that it’s not his strong suit and that they need to be careful with how they feature him, since his potential heat as an “outsider” from AEW isn’t going to last forever?
April 5, 20223 yr Author comment_5979038 For one, I think Cody benefits from smoke and mirrors. Gimme brawling and plundah, baybeh. A 20 minute match with masturbatory and obligatory "show of respect" spots ain't gonna cut it. Triple H doing that in back to back Manias against Roman and Rollins was enough
April 5, 20223 yr Author comment_5979039 Listen, if MVP's magic works on Omos the way it worked on Lashley... we might get something special.
April 5, 20223 yr comment_5979040 Not sure why MVP would turn on the winner and side with the loser, but I don't mind.

I thought he was channeling the part of Dusty’s Hard Times promo, where Dusty was talking about his own dad and John Wayne, when talking about handing the WWE championship belt to The Dream himself. BTW, trying to think now, obviously Dusty didn’t, but did Goldust ever have a one-on-one match for a heavyweight title?
April 5, 20223 yr comment_5979046 Actually, check that, Dustin did have a post show dark match against Shawn at the IYH Buried Alive POV in October of 1995
April 5, 20223 yr comment_5979047 I think Michaels and Goldust worked a ladder match at Exhibition Stadium in TO in the summer of 96, maybe other places
April 5, 20223 yr comment_5979049 Edge > Black by a mile, and I'm not even a huge Edge fan. (Christian was the better member of that team!)

No disagreement on either point really, but Black pulls off the dark side gimmick way better than Edge. At least 2022 Edge. This looks like something post-Brood Edge should have evolved into.
