All Elite Wrestling |OT9| Where We’re Going We Don’t Need Rhodes

I want to believe this, too, but him dropping stuff like "I don't know if they talk about me behind my back" is incredibly weak, insecure, and condescending. I genuinely hope him and The Bucks are sending LOL emojis to each other in a private chat about this whole thing, but I'm not so sure...and maybe that's the point. I kind of don't want to think about it too deeply because I can't differentiate what's a work and what's a shoot with him, so it's better to just take a breath and step away from it. When everything could be a lie, I stop caring what a person says ala Hulk Hogan.
Good morning amigos.
Who's this Cody guy you are all talking about?
Looking forward to the FTR vs Bucks match, but also looking forward to what else gets added to the show. Who's Danielson going to destroy this week? Will Regal and Yuta have an interaction? Will Hangman and Cole get a good moment to hype a bit their boring feud?

It's not a work if The Bucks, Kenny, and TK aren't in on it. The "history" comment and the "maybe they talk behind my back comment" say a lot to me about what happened behind the scenes and it doesn't reflect well on Cody. I'm not gonna put a long analysis here of Cody but I basically agree that Cody has shown is ass as the narcissist he is.
Fuck me, you're right, I forgot about Joe. Tony must be destroying his nose booking the Dynamite of his life lmao
I watched some of the ROH media scrum earlier and TKs face when Joe starts getting intense is a real picture.
He looks legit scared. 😂
Cody: Says how much he loves and respects Kenny and the Young Bucks in every interview
Kenny and Young Bucks: Give passive aggressive interviews and passive aggressive Twitter bios and like tweets and Instagram posts alluding to Cody being a hypocrite
Cody: I hope they don't talk about me behind my back or anything but I love them
Fans: CODY WTF, HOW COULD YOU BE SUCH A BAD FRIEND

If I knew how to put a gif in here I would put the thank you Michael Scott gif. Dude is just working.
I'm so glad I have Wednesday off this week. I'm really looking forward to seeing Samoa Joe on Dynamite.
Fuck! @ Joe's new music. That beat!
Update on me
Not a lot has happened, I'm waiting to see a speciality nurse who is most likely not gonna make it today. Sucks but it is what it is. Right now is way better than Thu/Fri, less pain, less bleeding, I'm eating, drinking and my body has adjusted to the room conditions so I'm no longer going crazy at night trying to fall asleep for hours and can now practically sleep on command lol.
I managed to watch the first half of Bloodsport yesterday.
Thumbs up to Masha/Kai, Ninja/Yoya, Zeda/Shafir and Coughlin/Slade.

I almost spat out my tea reading this in his voice with a confused intonation. 😂
They're excellent at it. Just...Cody has shown he doesn't always have the best judgment (heel turn refusal and self-imposed championship title restriction). Must be hard to differentiate between what's real and fake for himself at this point, nevermind for a mark like me.
My sleeping schedule has been awful the last few days, so I decided to rewatch Full Gear from last year as I wasn't in a good place in early November (Not all that better now to be honest). Some notes below.
- My internet crapped on me during the Darby vs MJF when it was live, so I missed some of that match and good lord was it fantastic. Easily a 5 star match
- My love of FTR has only grown since their awesome match against the Lucha Bros. I hope they hold AEW gold this year (along with their AAA & ROH titles)
- You could tell Miro wasn't 100% during his match with Danielson. Hope he returns soon.
- That falls count anywhere match was great. Much better the second time watching it. Britt vs Tay too
- There's only two people that can make a crowd boo CM Punk. Hangman & Kingston. That match ruled. Hope they run it back again.
- My respect for Kenny Omega has tripled after watching that match with Hangman. His list of injuries never stopped him from putting out fantastic matches. Can't wait to see a healthy Kenny back in the ring
- Great ovation for Hangman winning too. I've enjoyed his run so far, but the chase was better.
So I'm going to eat something and try to get some shut eye. I'll be back later today for Elevation. So "goodnight" you Codymaniacs.

Unless I missed something, Kenny did one interview where he talked about the situation with Cody and said it all respectfully and matter-of-factly. Zero bad blood, nefarious intent, or passive aggressive comments.
I disagree, but my comment and a couple people quoting me on the last page sum up my thoughts on that interview
Anyway do you not at least find liking a post of Cody saying he can't go back and wants the be an EVP for life on instagram and twitter passive aggressive at all
There's been plenty of passive aggression in Cody's interviews too. Like the TK comment about hoping that history is kind on him.
I do. I just don't give liking an online post the same weight as someone speaking publicly in an interview setting. I can agree with those saying that no one ends up looking good in this situation, but I do feel there are levels to "looking bad," and that Cody has ended up coming off worst of all up to this point. But it's a silly situation all around to argue about, I suppose. We would probably just end up going around in circles. There are clearly some hurt feelings involved in all of this that we may never truly know about, so there's a lot of conjecture and reacting to what is publicly put out there.
I've defended Cody on here for the past two and a half years or so. Some of his recent comments have just rubbed me the wrong way even if the bulk of what he's been saying has been reasonable and has made total sense.
There's just a lot to this stuff, I guess. For example, in the past in this very community, I've been told not to worry about the financial decisions of other people (good advice in general,) but there is something to be said about the weird narrative that Cody would somehow be poor and unable to provide an optimal life for his family if he didn't take Vince's money bag.
Anyway, this is the last I'll talk about this stuff for this week. LOL. This is also a probably valid (if not "I said it for the pops") perspective.
Said that Triple H is his favourite wrestler this past weekend, but over a year ago:
"It's no secret that Sting was my favorite wrestler. I had Sting in WCW and Shawn [Michaels] in WWF. But really I wasn't supposed to watch WWF. So, Sting was everything. I got to see him live so often and I got to see the connection he had. I honestly am scared to answer that. Obviously, as a wrestler, to stand across the ring from your hero is everyone's dream, to share that field. So, yes, I would love and envision that."
Favourite wrestlers can obviously change from your childhood, and that's quite likely what's going on here, but just another moment to make you say HMM.
In the end, Cody going to WWE feels like the best move for everyone involved.

That was a really weird thing to say. It's like he's hinting that TK is going to be tried at the Hague.
I think Cody has come across as a total narcissistic sociopath recently so if people had to deal with that behind the scenes for years, I don't blame them for being a bit passive aggressive. It may partially be a work but I don't know that Cody can differentiate between work and shoot
If anyone watches Raw to see what Cody's promo is despite all the comments made here and the general wrasslin thread, you're a mark.
I mean whether this is his real self coming out or not, Cody has done exactly what every wrestler set out to do: he was in a funk, and even re-signing with AEW (without him turning heel) wouldn't have moved the needle, so he got more money, got way more attention (even from AEW fans) than he would have anyway, gets another run with some fresh matchups, and can (if he wants to) come back in a few years as a mega heel. This was absolutely the right move for him. Because the alternative was taking less and still taking crap from the same people he's taking crap from now. ;)
Meanwhile AEW has more time to feature the overflow of talent it has.
Win-win from both sides.

Total narcissistic sociopath? Seriously?
I am completely ambivalent about whatever Cody does, but as someone who occasionally posts, but primarily lurks here to read what's going on in the non-WWE wrestling world, this thread has been unreadable the last four days.

Yeah I have no idea why people are getting worked up over Cody comments that he is making while being an WWE worker. What he has said is so tame that it's kind of funny to get riled over it.
I also wouldn't be surprised that he is 100% in character during those interviews. The E doesn't really let guys to do interviews without being approved by them.
I also did chuckle that in that interview Cody the Wrestler is also upset with Cody the booker. Telling Cody the booker that he wants the big belt and doesn't want to be a Gatekeeper. But Cody the booker said no way Cody the Wrestler you will never hold the big belt.

you know, for a "mediocre mid-card wrestler", Cody has been triggering a lot of fellas here this weekend lol. Not even when Ivelisse talking real shit about aew has been so much post here about it.
Also, i love how the bucks keep taking shots at cody for the "betrayal" but they were cool with the good brothers fuck them real hard when the company was just starting and aew needed the most star power possible (for anyone that dont remember: Gallows and Anderson promised by word to the bucks that day will be going to AEW, and then they just resign with WWE, and when they were fired, bucks wanted to hire gallows and anderson lmao)
Cody left when aew leave and had basically a dream roster. I dont know why the people that wanted cody and brandi out of the company for so long time, now are so mad about cody being in wwe.

Oh shit when he was doing that promo about the belt in AEW he was straight up telling us he was going to leave.
Glad Hangman follows the rules of the road. Safety first.
Personally I'd really rather not have a back to back Cody reference for the next OT. People probably would have gotten all the discussion out of their system at that point anyway so it wouldn't even be topical.
I think people just gave cody a lot of benefits of the doubt and are a bit hurt that they were maybe wrong about him. Which is normal. You like to think the best of people.
I always had this feeling about him, so it's no surprise he left and it makes sense for both parties. He's much better suited to be over there and it's a better situation for him. I can see how the bucks and others may be a bit shoot-pissed about it, but i'm sure they understand it's a business. and again, better for him to be happy over there then miserable over here. the shows have been great without him and the only feud that's not working now is the tay/sammy thing which seemed like it was gonna be brandi's thing.

I wish, but I was making a joke about going from the joke of "we don't need Rhodes" to just keep falling for his work
Why would Omega and the Bucks be pissed about him leaving?
Maybe I'm wrong and I'm just projecting how I'd handle it, but I doubt they'd be posting and liking what they have been and making it public if it was all a shoot. The Bucks work people all the time on Twitter, especially on their bio.

"I wanted to escape my father's legacy, so I traveled the world, and changed the business, and it still wasn't enough. So I decided to embrace his legacy and go back to the place I left to do the one thing he couldn't." That's a super compelling story, if they cared to tell it.
It's WWE, so they won't, and even if they did, I wouldn't watch it, but it would be the most interesting story they've told in years.

That does sound interesting. Maybe telling that story is part of his deal.
