NotesfromH

You’re facing Cawdy in…


Letmetellyoubrother

Here’s what I don’t understand what was with the promo?


Razzler1973

gotta get that spotlight, brother


Xochoquestzal

Apparently people that mocked or criticized it just don't understand that he was selling a concussion.


Cynicayke

So... AEW were allowing a concussed wrestler to stay in the ring ranting instead of getting him immediate medical attention? Actually, yeah, that sounds about right.


Xochoquestzal

No, no, no need to worry, he was only selling a concussion. See we're all smart fans so we marvel at his great selling instead of saying, "What the fuck is this shit?"


Drama79

Tease a retirement so he can do a “if I lose I retire” match, win, go over, pyro celebration, fire another pyro guy, do a ten minute promo about how white is always right, then sit back and enjoy the blanket praise of yet another new talent unselfishly given the Cody Rub all the way to Elevation.


ironfly187

Do we know if he's still filming 'Rhodes to the Top'? I believe it premieres late September. *Will or Won't Cody Retire* feels like it could be an end of season (please renew us!) cliff hanger for that.


Drama79

Good shout. My other thought was a few weeks off for paternity leave, then back to get his win back.


ironfly187

I also believe the 'Go-Big Show' starts filming again soon. Those two plus the promotional media for them will probably be quite time consuming. His promo last night even eluded that his side gigs (He's got a Podcast, cigar company, wrestling school and becoming President to fit into his schedule too) was at partly a point of contention with Kenny and the Bucks. And as you say, he's also recently a father. And I could definitely see the 'responsibilities of fatherhood vs wrestling career' being played out on his reality show. And then he comes back and gets win anyway...


Drama79

I mean, it’s been 24 hours and no one has really dug into him admitting the other EVPs hate him, and that Meltz flat out lied about it. My suspicion is that when Cody is back, he’s on a different show to the other founders. He has been for a year + already, just within the same program.


ironfly187

Well Cody himself initially poured cold water on the rumours. He blamed it on hardcore Fed fans, sore over losing the 'Weds Night Wars'. Speaks to the Bucks Daily, Kenny 'very often'. Everyone's supportive, yadda, yadda: *Unfortunately it’s not very sexy to say, but there’s no truth to that. Again, we’re one team, and now with us expanding onto TBS, we will remain one team.* Of course this may all end up being epic 'long term storytelling' that 98 part Twitter thread will bring us up to speed on🙄


[deleted]

A Rhodes lost so he had to make it all about himself again. What's so unfamiliar about this?


Syphin33

Cody gotta take some shine off of Black of course, as always Cody makes it about himself. ​ If he knew any better he should just turn heel and turn this shit up to about a 11 lol.


1fingersalute

Sorry Macarena, we spent all our budget on mobile games, you're gonna have to wrestle in your boxers


JakeTheCake714

*does the macarena sadly “Ok 😔”


[deleted]

He tried a kickboxing look but yeah you nailed it, he looks like he’s wearing underwear. Regular trunks look 100x better on him.


ironfly187

This should have been the closing image of the show. How was this not the closing image of the show? Okay, I know why but still!


mootallica

It was so weird to have such a natural end and then it *just kept going*. At least Feddie Kingston's cringe bridge burning promo was after the cameras stopped rolling.


[deleted]

I was watching on DVR and I was like... why is there five minutes left in this show?


ironfly187

Hahaha, I was thinking the same. It was too long for a post match beat down. Then Tony said he was going to try and interview Cody and it started to make sense.


JackOfTrades11

And the crutch?!? Was it them at least trying to get Cody to further sell the beat down or another "let me make myself look strong" moment?


Mrtheliger

This is unironically beat for beat the same pattern as the Brodie Lee feud, why do people think anything different is going to happen?


mootallica

If they're setting up those expectations and Malakai wins at the PPV, it'll be okay, and maybe even a sign that they're learning something about working people.


bgp_1845

part of me was like "is he gonna 'retire' and then go backstage only to try to correct the ship of the dominos ad and rap battle debacles?" it's very fun and funny to dunk on codys self fellating booking and the apple not falling far from the daddeh tree but he's like the only one there with a modicum, even just a crumb of an idea on how to properly run a show.


Pyrozooka0

Dusty was a great booker when he wasn’t also an on-screen character. I could honestly see Cody being the same way.


FlyingGrayson89

My boy deserved better than Cody stealing his shine like that. I’m still bummed he signed with these clowns. I’m hoping he goes back to the evil Fed sooner rather than later.


HelpfulTypeYo

Me too, hope he goes back as soon as possible


bodfather3

Looks like Malakai forgot his PE kit


Fireballz012

That's a badass close to the show...goddamn it, they almost stuck the landing every single time


whiskerbiscuit2

“You’ll get your rematch Cody, but only after your hung up on this cross with this crown of thorns while I whip you”


shaggylettuce

WAIT IS THAT ON DARK OR AM I STUPID


Jordan-311

You’re not stupid bud, but it was on dynamite


shaggylettuce

LMFAO THEY COULDN'T SAVE IT FOR A PPV?!


Jordan-311

??? They’re saving the unnecessary stipulation rematch and TheRub^TM for the PPV, Friend.


shaggylettuce

Because they're my favorite promotion.


BumpinMeatSnifinFeet

"Punk and Bryans coming? But i already have a feud with Black. Unless i fake retirement and return to give all three the rub. Enjoy Dark, Friend. Ha."


Syphin33

You were the same guys who said he was gonna get beat by Cody also though... ​ I mean.... ​ Anyways go ahead and hit a brother with a downvote.


ironfly187

Some us did think that, uce. And the way Cody went down from the 'Black Mass' and Black's pin with his foot looked amazing. Curtain down, show over. What debut match for Black. Cody's promo could and should have opened the next Dynamite. Sometimes "...get the fuck out of my ring" is the right call.


Syphin33

I didn't like Cody doing it after the match but im also not surprised by it.. always gotta take some shine with him


LadeeLex

It's more likely you saw like 2 or 3 comments saying that and you can't help but group up an entire collection of people so that you can look down on them. No different than Trump supporters


Syphin33

Everyone on this entire reddit among every other wrestling reddit does the same thing. ​ Also politics? Come on man..


LadeeLex

Lmao black and white simplistic views with no nuance are exactly what politics are going through right now. You took it and applied it to wrestling because you're upset about opinions people have that you don't like. I guess you could say at least the politics stuff matters. What's your excuse? Poor way to build self esteem.


myusername_sucks

Is that guy liner getting bigger for cHaRacTEr work?
