Strange thing is they have their own weekly show online and their own PPV's too so they don't need to feature on AEW programming. Not sure why Tony Khan keeps putting them on AEW tv.

I agree 💯

@@martinputt6421 I get it if there are some minimal crossovers, but seeing the AEW shows every week featuring a dozen different titles, lol, it's really something.

@@RageyRage82 Absolutely. Crossovers every now and then are fine but when you've got ROH stuff happening on AEW tv it takes time away from other AEW storylines and matches. They should be treated as completely separate entities.

That's how it works these days, what people think people say is more true than what the person actually said

Starting with yours.

I don’t really think it’s toxic for people to just blatantly point out the obvious that the man who took a sledgehammer to the throne to take shots at wwe was only only buying time to go back there. I think it makes sense for people to feel betrayed or annoyed by his actions nothing toxic about that. He literally used them as a stepping stool by his own admission

​@user-on9ie2lm1y Yep, I expect that too...

​@@tcmackgeorges12wasn't he doing that with impact, roh and everywhere else he went between leaving and re joining WWE?

Hopefully Dustin will leave AEW, imagine Dustin in WWE's NXT working alongside HBK and teaching the younger talent with his psychology in the ring. We all know the AEW talent isn't listening to the experts and those who pathed the way before them (look at Hangnail).

But staying in AEW means Tony is booking, so a 90% chance it'll fall flat with his track record

@@bashamd96Sting had a pretty good retirement match soooo

It's better to be booked in Cody's storylines than to not be booked at all

@yayomax2088 Sting getting the 10% doesn't mean anything. He still has a modern era Vince track record so why take the gamble?

@@NOname-bv2jy fair

When he's not being a pretentious narcissist who exploited his father's name and legacy in order to achieve something that he didn't deserve, stood by and said nothing as his Crybabies threatened someone's daughter, admitted to doing the same thing everyone got at The Rock for doing with this year's WrestleMania, and has turned out to be the same part-time performer he complained about others for being. If you really believe what you said about Stardust, then I have bridge I'd like to sell you 🤦‍♂️

@@razorramon7573you sound a little upset

Never will AEW Is Dead.

Aew is a passion project. Us analysing it as a business is really missing the point. Breaking even is their only objective, the rest is personal enjoyment.

Thing is, aew isn't serious business, and Cody was and wanted to ascend as a serious wrestler. That's not a knock on aew, not every wrestling company has to be a serious business, and it decided not to be, so he knew it wasn't the right place for him, as did Punk later. Aew is a passion project, nothing else. Business is not the priority.

​@@TheRealAhoy funny I didn't see it as him wanting more but realizing he could never be respected as a true performer as long he always had that Evp title on him similar to bucks and Kenny they put themself in a corner where if the won it was due to there power and if they lost they are just using there power to push one of their buddy's no matter how they approach it the fanbase would never believe they have earned it.

Of course. He was literally ALL IN on the company, but his new friends all had Indy sensibilities while he was used to being in a big promotion where his goal was to do big business. The Elite don't care about doing big business, they just want a fun place to work, being paid well is a bonus. Who knows if them and various other people in the promotion would have gone to wwe for the money by now if aew wasn't a thing, but they have a situation where they don't have to go somewhere for the money, they have found a place that isn't about the money that pays just as well as the place for the money pays. When aew came in to existence they were happy for years doing the things they did and with how much they were getting for them. Cody went on the indys to get away from the brick wall with the intent to come back one day. Then when aew came in to existence, he thought he wouldn't even have to. But the elite (and Tony) and him parted, they were happy just enjoying themselves, while he wanted to be at the top of a serious wrestling promotion. He got his wish in the end anyway so everyone's all good mostly.

Spoken like a true AEW fan. 🤷🏾‍♂️

I mean he made the right decision. The guy is the biggest star in the business now.

Aew fans are a fickle bunch, believe everything the rumour mongers want them to believe. People had a great time for decades tugging themselves off at how Triple H was "the secret baddy" in the backstage of wrestling politics. They adored it. Within a few months of aew starting up, they decided that Cody was going to be THEIR Triple H figure. So Cody was made Triple H because he was different from the rest and he had a very hot wife too.

@@thenightowl7712 yes, I am an AEW fan that’s why I know what actually happened.

@@nateh254 you’re a fan like most that twist things to fit your own narrative. AEW fans rejected Cody hard, okay there may be exceptions (yourself being one) but over all the majority of AEW fans crapped all over him and have done nothing but make lame attempts to justify why he wasn’t wanted or needed in AEW since. It’s crazy, he loves the place. He built it, it was his gift to fans and yet he’s somehow the bad guy?

That something something, as the Smarkbusters would say, is F*** Cody Rhodes

Cody fan my ass but the aew fans are mad at him cuz they didn’t get what they wanted and wanted to force him to change, u wanna make it seem Cody was whiny when he all he did was react to ya whininess. U aew fans just can’t get out ya own way. Ya were booing him constantly ya deserve to lose him.

@@clerv2528 Sthu u WWE fanfool I support Cody but in AEW he wanted his own bs & wanted to be the 1 The bs that works in bad soap opera WWE doesn't work in AEW ya.ll WWE fans are easily amused by reject reality show crap

I don't know why people bring this up so much lmao. It's like we've never seen wrestling before. "Cody restricted himself". Vince McMahon got ejected from being a tv presence at Fully Loaded 99 and in 2 months was back completely. Macho Man was retired by Ultimate Warrior. Came back 8 months later. Mick Foley was retired by Triple H. Came back 4 years later, then again, and again and again. They could easily wrangle up some bs reason he could get a title shot lmao. He didn't shoot himself in the foot. Why do people act like that was iron clad?

That's a reach IMO.

He’s the biggest star in the business now. Absolutely made the right decision

@@23lacross most probably cried his way to the top

@@adstar1947 He worked harder than everyone else. Sorry you don’t know that life.

​@@adstar1947It's ok, that awful Cody Rhodes can't hurt you, he's completely going in a direction where he isn't even considering hurting you in any way.

@TheRealAhoy did your mummy hold your hand while writing your comment. Don't forget to eat your peas and carrots and prey to Jesus or you won't be able to watch Cody Crybaby play patter cake with 1 Brittle Phil on your kiddies tv program. Mug
