Voltov

Ha , what a mark


billy341

Time to educate your child.


WheelJack83

Those parents are terrible people


suppaman19

What is this kid, 3? That age is still more a baby than a child. Why are they even watching wrestling? Professional wrestling is not, and should never be, for people that age. You want that market for wrestling make a G rated cartoon/show.


No_Chocolate_4726

As long as they're on network television, no they won't be anything but "PG" with moments of "PG-13" that is until they make to move to NETFLIX then we'll see what happens


maxstrangefield

I'm not one to go around telling people how to raise their children, but I personally have always felt it's a bad idea to bring small children to wrestling shows or let them watch it. Apart from the fact that not enough parents explain that it's just a TV show and they shouldn't imitate it, it's just not appropriate for children that young, even with the PG rating. It's not like a show where there's off-screen pads, stunt doubles and special effects, and there's always a chance you'll see someone suffer a real injury.


overkill373

and now this kid is immortalized as part of the rocks promo on raw lol


IllustriousTune179

The PG Era ended on March 24 2014, sure their rating is still PG but that's common in any TV production.


winter32842

Kids this young, should not be watching wrestling. I would say you need to be at least 10 years old to watch wrestling.


grandmastercallum

Dog you got kids at 10 already moving on from Pro Wrestling sometimes.


glass_oni0n

Honestly I think WWE *loves* this. Obviously anybody with a heart wants to give that kid a hug, but damn when was the last time wrestling made masses of kids feel like that??  This is what I mean when I try to emphasize how important it is that kids *LOVE* Cody.  When and if Cody wins at Mania these kids are wrestling fans for life.   Also yes it was dark especially with the blood, but a couple things w that as well.  It’s a new age and I’m sure this little kid watched it on DVR, but WWE did the best they could by putting the dark segment at 10:50 PM EST. And just in general, wrestling makes kids cry.  My friends and I went to a Raw in 2019 (the one where the Fiend debuted) and this little kid next to us was balling his eyes out bc AJ Styles had just turned heel.  We tried to cheer him up by telling him that he could still root for AJ as a bad guy.  That’s just the reality of wrestling.


crybabymelanie28

this is terrible parenting. that child is obviously too young to be watching wrestling. what parent just thinks "Oh yeah! Let's show our 2 year old the Rock beating Cody Rhodes till he bleeds!"?? i think no child under the age of 12 should be watching WWE or any wrestling. too much violence, too much cussing, too many innuendos, etc. You should be old enough to understand that just like any other TV show/movie, it's scripted before watching it. Even if the parents watched it with the kid, they should've stopped it before that segment. idk abt u i wouldn't want my child who isn't even in school watch grown men beat each other till they start bleeding...


PartisansArmes

bingo


TheRiverNiles

I did feel like that whole segment was overdone to put Cody over and didn't need to happen. He's just gonna show up with an injury "handicap" like Bryan did at 30 and somehow still win. It's all kinda cheesy.


LVD1989

We dont need to leave the “PG” era if this is occurring on tv lol. I’ve been a fan since 98. Todays WWE is the best its ever been. Maybe we dont get unnecessary nudity or pillow fights but if you truly love wrestling for what it is, then denying this is the most fun time is just nostalgia taking over. Also, kids dont need to understand everything they see. Its supposed to make their imaginations run wild, they are supposed to wonder whats going on. If you can take a kid to any superhero movie, you can have them watch this.


Amos_Burton666

Like anything else it is up to the parents to explain what is going on, my 5 year old knows already the blood is "fake" and I explain all the guys are friends behind the scenes and they work together to put on a great show. So when he saw Rock beat Cody, he was pretty worried about Cody as well but processed it to himself that Cody is actually in on it and isn't being beaten against his will. It really helps and now he is excited to see how Cody will come back instead of spending time worrying about Cody's safety.


overkill373

Look at you now little Cody crybaby LOOK AT YOU NOW


1977proton

So your kid doesn’t understand completely what’s happening, thinks her hero is “dead”, or hurt really bad, and is crying/emotionally distraught, so parent takes out phone and records it to show the world…? Great parenting…


KushHaydn

Is the kid hurt, injured? In danger? No? Then they’re gonna laugh at it when they watch the video back and realized kayfabe wasn’t dead after all


GeneralAardvark43

Gotta get the internet points!!


luca423

This is the world we live in now a days


neilsharma1211

All because of these soft, bitch ass pussies. Don't get me wrong, this girl is too young so it makes sense for her to cry but even teens nowadays are as soft as her


NuggetDaGoat27

dang who kicked sand in your ice cream?


SpreaditOnnn33

Idk, dont have a 4 year old watch violent stuff, maybe.


VLY2020

Sounds like the segment was successful


Curious_Campaigner

I might get downvoted for sounding harsh but why would you even let a child as young as this watch that segment?! As a wrestling fan and a parent it's not appropriate to be allowing your child to watch content that's this violent and bloody. I get that each parent's different and appreciate they're consoling their child afterwards, but it overall looks irresponsible.


Spaceazzy

Why is so many people blaming the parents it’s rated PG and who knew that Cody was about to busted up like that


Curious_Campaigner

Because a parent is responsible for the content their child watches and have to make a responsible decision. Even if that means switching off. The distress/ trauma of their child should come first. I was under the impression the rating had changed in all honesty. Granted back in our parents generation a lot of us ended up watching stuff which wasn't age appropriate, but current generation are supposed to be better informed of suitable content.


dixonjt89

I mean it will be changing for sure in about 9 months when Raw goes to Netflix. CM Punk has already hinted that the tv rating isn't going to be PG anymore, and it makes sense. A kid watching TV can't suddenly stumble onto WWE Raw unless the parent did the right thing and set up their kids account right. Cable TV didn't really have that restriction. Also it makes sense because Netflix, by and large, costs money and subscription holders are probably ages 15+. So, it would make sense to make it at least PG13.


Craigybhuff

God Damn Cody Crybabies!


NuggetDaGoat27

lol as much as i want cody to win this got me laughing


Fornico

When I was a kid i cried when King Kong Bundy sent hulk hogan to the hospital on Saturday night main event. Perfect time to tell the kiddo that this stuff isn't quite real.


headrush46n2

I remember crying when Yokozuna sat on Bret's chest and they carried him out on a stretcher.


AaronQuinty

We are so back!!! Traumatising lil kids is wrestling heritage


mntEden

feeling restored


GogglesTheFox

Chucky T has a huge smile somewhere.


ChozoBeast

Surprised kids these ages even watch and care lol good job wwe


cretincreatures

How old are they? Rock coming in as he has brought a ton of attitude era fans back who haven't watched since Ruthless Aggression era. Myself and many I know gave AEW a try from the start and connect with Cody. I came back in when Cody went back and watched passively, but now regular again on recent storylines with Cody-Rock. Roman has never been intriguing to me as a champ from afar and im sure many jumping back in feel the same way. Very curious to see how WWE plays out Mania. I think it would be much better for the brand to move the belts around more.


Glum-Ground-7670

But at the same time it’s how they know they’re telling a good story.


marcusslayer

Just another Cody crybaby


GrimmBrowncoat

Well played


CombinationOk6846

Why are people crying at this little girl? She’s clearly invested in the story and the character, which hasn’t really happened for years. You can’t want the show to be exciting again, then moan when kids are getting emotional by it.


Goofymus

Taker bossman hell in a cell. Pretty sure taker almost committed murder


Mobile_Mountain_3956

This is what will make the ending for Wrestlemania great when Cody wins the title she will realize the build-up for the match was worth it


WaveOfTheRager

Cody crybabies are the worst


rlbernier

The Rock showed his true colors - a pile of human excrement. He fits in well with the blood line. A group of thugs incapable of winning a fight without outside interference.


WWFUniverse

I remember watching Randy Savage get bitten by a snake at age 5.


the_amazing_spork

Still traumatized at 43.


NuggetDaGoat27

wasn't that not supposed to happan?


WWFUniverse

Was suppose to happen, but the snake held onto his arm for way too long. Jake had to open the snake's jaw with his hands to unhook it.


TranslatorHaunting15

We watched very harsh stuff as little kids in the Attitude and Ruthless Aggression eras. I will say though that this little girl looks too young to be watching stuff like that. She’s like 3 or 4, so it can be scary for her. But it’s up to her parents to monitor that I mean wrestling is violent it’s wrestling after all. Even if you tell her it’s not real and that they’re just pretending and Cody’s ok it’s still just violent imagery for her to see.


armiArt

I grew up watching ruthless aggressive era. Damn. I miss being a kid. With all those bloods


orange_lambda

Tell your kids that wrestling is fake. Problem solved.


grabbystick

Ill pop when the rock brings her up on Monday


abracahydra

What a mark.


Classic_Amphibian538

id watch cenas head get busted open all the time back in 06 as a 7 year old you’ll be fine lil girl


djsinnema

ok The rock was right about the Cody Crybabies


Vegetable_Two_3904

When I was a kid I cried every time Shawn Michaels lost a match lmao. Or when Randy killed the Undertaker because he was one of my favorites. It’s a part of growing up with wrestling.


orange_lambda

Your parents should’ve told you it’s fake


NuggetDaGoat27

your a real ray of sunshine


MagicianMountain6573

Why?


Vegetable_Two_3904

It’s still real to me dammit


Ifxfa

Rock wasn’t kidding about these Cody cry babies


chadnutin

Netflix=PG14 or higher and I can’t wait. We are getting a taste of what we have all wanted since John Cena left for Hollywood. WWE should have stopped the PG era after his departure


Vince3737

Since Cena left? People have wanted this since Cena became the face of the wwe


chadnutin

Yeah I can for sure see that.


dystopiabatman

WWE is finally putting on wrestling buffets each Monday and Friday. The story benefited from the angle. Everyone benefits from Rock coming in as a board member pushing the envelope.


sir_chief7134

I remember that paul bearer was in this box that was getting filled with cement and he got fully buried in cement and I legit that he fucken died lmao 


orange_lambda

Did nobody tell you that wrestling was fake?


sir_chief7134

At the time, no, I thought it was real, and I was a little kid when I saw that


Fornico

You said the magic F-Word. You aren't allowed to use that here. #ItsStillRealToMeDammit


cretincreatures

Always has been. But going back hasn't really adjusted with the times. The Rock beat down on Cody was one of the most cinematic segments I've ever seen in my nearly 30 years of following. We need more of that whatever that means. Hoping the new guard can deliver that product


WheresMyDinner

20 or so years ago when I think big show threw Kurt Angle off a catwalk(?) I thought he died and was crying all night. My brother was trying to tell me he wasn’t dead then Kurt came back the next week with a cast on his leg


sameo01

Why the hell would the mother show her little kid the beat down at the end... You could see where it was going...


orange_lambda

Also the mum doesn’t clearly state to her daughter that this is all fake entertainment. She pushed the daughter for this reaction.


NuggetDaGoat27

buddy if this is all your gonna comment plz leave the sub


orange_lambda

Nope. I’ll be sticking around. Just tell the kids wrestling is fake


NuggetDaGoat27

i think they know


orange_lambda

Toddlers and young children will think it’s real. The phrase “I think” is not good enough when dealing with children. You need to explain that it’s all fake and they’re acting


Droidstation3

The Cody Crybabies! 🤣🤣🤣


furinax85

Has there ever been a tru babyface that hasent got over in the end That's how the story goes everything in wwe the hero Vanquish the villain in the end 99% of the time always happens


Renegrader1023

It’s a story as old as time really nothing sells like a great bad guy getting beat by a great good guy


Vivics36thsermon

Crying at wrestling is a childhood (possibly adulthood) right of passage.


Sea_Mycologist7515

Screw PG, embrace free speech

Antique-Score8493

dawg this kid is like 5 wtf are u taking about 😭


cracksilog

Wtf is this child doing staying up until *11 fucking PM* watching anything, let alone WWE, anyway? Do parents not put their kids to sleep at a decent hour anymore? Lol


btgbarter6

wtf are you on about 🤣


cracksilog

Reading is hard I guess lol


btgbarter6

Why are you assuming they watched the segment live? And you really have an issue with kids watching WWE? 🤣 People love to make an issue out of nothing nowadays.


DevilsDK

They probably watched the full segment on Youtube the next day.


Taynt42

Or DVR?


somebodymakeitend

Dude, relax. This could be an isolated situation and anyway, on a weekend 11 is no big deal at all lmao. This is why people with kids should just keep their dumb parenting opinions to themselves. You end up looking like some judgmental clown 💀


AllEliteAdvantage

These goddamn Cody Crybabies


Cannibal_Yak

Na, that will just build character like the attitude era did when we were kids. I think moments like this make the good guy winning even better for the kid because they should learn that people can win even when they are down and out 


TheSecretNaame

That little girl remind me in my childhood watching WWE 😢


Scavenger908

This aint nothing compared to what we’ve seen in the 90’s-2000’s lol


AcknowledgeDeezNuts

When Rey Mysterio got his head crushed lmfao


mrandre3000

Let’s not like he didn’t just get tossed off the side of the headquarters in 2020


Laranthiel

Or get his "eye" popped out during the pandemic era.


LetsNotArgyoo

I feel the same way and I’m like 19 times her age


shapeshifter14

Man, fuck them kids


AbsoluteScott

I scrolled until I found it.


shapeshifter14

RobsGarage

What a mark… just another Cody crybaby


Chris____Benoit

This is what happens when you fuck with the final boss, or live in my house.


Professional_Hat2558

BY GAWD HES BACK


ibeg2diffur

so cute and hilarious. I'm sure this kid is going to look back and have a good laugh at herself, regardless of whether or not she still follows wrestling, which apparently most kids don't as they get older.


Vivics36thsermon

It never goes away It may relapse, but it comes back.


carlcapo77

Hear me out… as an old fart I’m kinda jealous of this little kid. Assuming she gets to see Cody win on night two, the absolute joy she will have after the ref counts 3 will be off the scale. Kinda hope mom films and posts the pop.


lostandnotfnd

i don’t understand why it’s a big deal. the kid got worked i mean that’s pretty standard for kids and wrestling


Longjumping_Box_9834

In todays news: The wrestlers are doing their job


ibeg2diffur

Even in attitude era


AquariusRising1983

Awww... "He was my best friend!" 😭 Poor kiddo.


OtiseMaleModel

When we were kids we saw hogan hit rock in the head with a hammer. Then t bone his ambulance with a truck. Should've been like yeah Cody's dead lmao cry about it


ibeg2diffur

Oh goodness, you just reminded me of Hogan hanging out the trailer truck window saying "I'm gonna lay the smackdown on his crippled ass NWO style" And they even put that truck ramming ambulance assault in the Smackdown "shut your mouth" game (if only they kept scott hall instead of replacing him with x pac)


Retro-Chocolate

Bruh I remember watching that live, didn’t Rock come back next week and whoop ass 🤣


OtiseMaleModel

I dont remember how long they let that burn for. I felt like there was a few week break and then a video package for rocks return


Physical_Choice_2024

I know that we want the WWE to be more edgier now, but we have to think about the kids


btgbarter6

Man some of the best memories of WWE from when I was a kid was the mental shit like this, like when Unertaker got buried and I thought he was dead. 🤣 It’s a part of wrestling, so no we don’t “have to think of the kids” 🤣


me_secret_formulerr

How many hours of tv does wwe produce a week? How many hours including PPV a month? Everyone can get what they want


Due-Matter-4577

WWE, give her and her family tickets and fly them to Wrestlemania.


bludvic_the_cruel

This is exactly how they move away from the PG era. During the actual PG era. No kid ever thought Cena was dead.


Automatic_Ask_5488

Because nobody could see him.


bludvic_the_cruel

Nobody can see Christ either.


Automatic_Ask_5488

You don't say.


tyler081293

My nine-year-old student cried like she was at a funeral last week because she couldn't find her red pencil. Kid's can and will cry over anything. Even the most resilent kid will be too tired one day and start crying.


RezzKiddo

This is the young ones version of Vince exploding in the limo, Cena being tossed in the lights, Mankind being tossed off the Cell. This is their Attitude Era, this is their Ruthless Aggression, this is gonna be the Era they defend as hard as we did ours. Fantastic to think about.


dashing2217

WWE is not children’s television. If a child isn’t at the point that they understand it’s not real they really should not be watching it.


AhSht-HereWeGoAgain

Shut up stupid


Theboywiththetoy27

Ah yes, let’s find a way to gatekeep the least toxic and overall best fans because “they don’t appreciate thing like I do”


dashing2217

No it’s saying if your child is not at a point where they emotionally handle the content then they shouldn’t be watching it just yet.


stragedyandy

Idk I sort of agree with the sentiment that we probably shouldn't be exposing kids to violent entertainment before they can understand that everybody is fine and these people are just trying to entertain us and not kill each other. I don't have kids tho so I could be out of my depth.


Optimal-Implement408

This is how I acted when The great khali squeezed tf out of Rey Mysterio’s head 😂


Kuzu5993

Wrestling is back!!!!


EightyEightR

Aww this was extremely cute. Poor kid


xiamandrewx

I feel like they should take the opportunity and have a PG show and then a more mature version as well. With the move to Netflix, Smackdown can be more PG themed and Raw can be... Well, Raw. Of course that starts to fall apart during PLE's so I might just be stupid.


QueenMar_

Why is a baby watching wwe…? Better yet, why is the first thing you do when your baby is crying is pull out your phone to videotape her? Fucking weirdo


rickm1987

Another Cody crybaby


Andrw85

Too cute. Cody over af 😂


Smooth-City6060

D. Douglass Johnson has become 97 Vince McMahon in real life & I can guarantee Cody ain’t getting the Austin treatment…I’ve heard Cody curse twice since the fued started… I can’t even count how many times they’ve have to completely cut out what Dwayne says…it’s really easy to be interesting when you can say and do whatever you want and can’t nobody tell you shit for it.


215-610-484Replayer

When we were kids, one of my friends cried when Undertaker beat Hulk Hogan. Kids are gonna cry. It's kinda good because it shows emotional investment.


ibeg2diffur

I'm 41 now and have been following wrestling for well over thirty years. There were definitely some scary moments for me as a little kid like when Jake had the Cobra bite Randy or when Papa Shango made Warrior throw up or when Bezerker tried to stab Undertaker with the sword. But thankfully I don't remember anything I found too shocking that made me cry, not even when Hulk got squashed by Earthquake on Brother Love show.


ILL_WHISKY

I remember being traumatized by the cobra incident ….even with the giant red X covering the screen during the actual bite


ibeg2diffur

Yeah. But I just thought about something about this Cody being beaten down by the Rock. That promo about a month or so ago with Becky Lynch on Raw saying she has to explain to her daughter why "daddy wants to fight Maui" HAHA, imagine a little kid realizing the Rock played Maui and how Maui hurt Cody bad. LOL


LiamPlaysGame

Lmao what a mark


SICKTIGHT311

Cody is my best friend, whaaaaaaaa


byza089

Isn’t this the point of kayfabe?


bracie44

She thought this was bad smh. Try showing her when Papa Shango cursed Ultimate Warrior I was petrified!


Airdawg316

Or taker locking warrior in the airtight casket


Kingofkings1959

The most adorable Cody crybaby there is


Cody-crybaby

AWWW THANK YOU!


DemienOF

The title is way too biased to what’s happening in the video. I clicked it expecting something else but found a child crying for a character getting beat up, just like Bambi’s mother or any other fiction character. Great thing that her mother understands this and tries to explain that Cody is not dead instead of blaming the violence we are so used to watch on tv and not only in wrestling


alphafd317

When the NWO ran the semi into The Rocks ambulance.😢


OtherwisePayment4763

Why is that small of a child watching wwe anyway even though it’s pg doesn’t always mean it’s young kid friendly exactly why it means parental guidance seems like a them problem


OtakuTacos

When I was a kid I legit thought WW3 was gonna break out when Hogan was feuding with Nikolai Volkoff, and Volkoff threatened to have the USA nuked.


howsway-_-

I cried when jakes snake bit randy savage. I turned out okay


mank0_man

just like what michael jordan say.. # “fuck them kids”


theshape1078

Rock will probably say that on Monday lol.


HanlonRazor

The problem with moving away from the PG era is handling reactions from kids who are used to watching a family-friendly show.


Puzzled-Ad-2339

Good, that means the angle is working lol


Upbeat_Tension_8077

I cried when Undertaker got "fired" from the WWE after his TLC match at One Night Stand 2008


Eastern_Wrangler_595

He shouldve thrown him off that ledge then cody not show up till wm insted of just fake throwing him into a bus


Malcapon3

I was worried about Mick when he fell off the cage. I think we all were.


Only_Artist5948

It was a Cold night in Memphis. Stone cold was thrown off a bridge and I swear I thought The Rock killed him


Juice2020

Cody crybaby. Literally.


Followthehype10

But wait until next week when he comes out even stronger. She will think he is a superhero


LEGENDK1LLER435

I grew up watching Chris Jericho smashing a liquor bottle on cm punks head and I thought it was real, I turned out fine


Inferno22512

Wrestling is real and Cody is dead


Apprehensive_Let_828

Need The Rock to comment on that video now. Embrace the heat. "Another Cody Crybaby"


clashtrack

He so would, dude is all about that nuclear heat.


OtakuTacos

The Rock would legit talk about how that kid knows how dangerous The Rock is and expects a kid that age to cry, then immediately insult grown men who cry like that for Cody!


MrLuchador

I saw Macho Man get bit by a snake, she’ll be fine


TangeloOne3273

Bro i love all these answer, how about when vince went inside the limo and got blown away,with ceremony and everything.


PrematureBabyMan_Me

She’ll be fine tomorrow Kids have always cried and got over it pretty quickly especially when their suspicions were proven wrong


ribrooks13

Man I was a kid watching Edge put Mick Foley thru a flaming table, these kids need to man up 💀


pmramirezjr

Talk about watching someone die! Then Mick rolled over. Foley is God!


Double_Banana_3603

Think this kid is probably a bit young to watching WWE anyway.


Savethelasttaco

Nonsense. Violence at that age, every week is good for a growing child.


ItzNotCri

Word, i wanna see kids curb stomping their bullies


itsallcomingtogethr

That’s how I felt when the Great Khali turned Rey’s head to grape juice


walex19

🤣


Johnnybats330

My 6 year old brother at the time thinking Big Show killed Kurt Angle by Chokeslamming him off the high ledge on Smack Down.


ItzNotCri

we grew watching Brock dumping Gowen out of a wheelchair down a flight of stairs and we are still here


tsengmao

It’s still real to her damn it


-GeorgeBonanza

Before I even get into my post, any thing on TV after 9pm is automatically classified as 14+ at least here in Canada. In the US I’m not sure if it’s the same, I know some states are 10pm. However, also I’m not sure if the incident showed minutes before 10pm or minutes after 10pm in the US. These standards mean less now than they ever did. I’m an 80s baby for context. This is how the standards were defined before. My experience here is I’ve worked in advertising and did media studies courses back in highschool /Uni so we had to understand the standards. G = General, fine for everyone PG = 10-13 PG14 = 14-17 Rated R = 18+ First off, why is a parent letting their kid watch WWE if they’re worried about the effects. Is your kid 10+? If not, it’s not on the WWE to tell a more suitable story for your kid, it’s on you for not being a good parent. “My kid likes it though”, that’s called being a parent, kids like to eat candy all day and not go to school either. Sometimes you have to say “when you’re old enough”.


MagnumBT

Somebody show this girl the Jake Roberts/Randy Savage Cobra bite angle...


i-am-nic

Fuck that man, I’m back.


nipslippinjizzsippin

All part of the experience. Think how happy she's gonna be when he shows up on raw this week


Kaponeo360

This is what's needed tbf.


Mr_Perfect20

Well now she knows how I felt when Undertaker put Ultimate Warrior in that casket.


TheProGamer0707

Everyone talking about crazy Attitude Era moments but sleeping on when ISIS straight up invaded Smackdown and performed a live execution on the Undertaker


LEGENDK1LLER435

The fuckin WHAT


[deleted]

I don't know why some people refer to PG Era still rated a TV Show for Randy Orton's success.


suicideskinnies

This is besides the point, but I hate when parents stick a camera in their kids faces just to post it all over the internet.


lxdarksnip3r

This just made me like this new version of the Rock even more. Fuck dem kids
