Yeah. Tony Kahn was flaunting Cody Rhodes around to get interest from potential business partners for AEW. Having the "Rhodes" name gave Tony's venture some credibility. Maybe Tony has not kept up his end of whatever deal they had. Cody might not have gotten to be the creative/business partner he expected. That's my thought on the potential falling out

The sad thing is that no matter what is done, heel, babyface or even a 'loose cannon', Cody will always be stuck in his own tired and silly trope. And yes, the boos will continue to come. He over- exposed his ambitions and people are clamoring to knock that shit down since he comes across so f'n arrogant IN REAL LIFE. He will find out that he cannot work people with any version of himself or some character dreamt up by WWE creative.

I mean you respect is meaningful but okay

She's his kind of woman wrestler.

I mean they let Eva Marie and Lana wrestle, it’s worth a shot to ask

Brandi is an attractive woman who knows somewhat about the bare bones basics of in-ring work. Vince isn't laughing in her face considering they're already in the "bring back 'legends' to bulk out the roster" part of the women's roster.

@@hamzabajwa1960 I get what your saying but your going back to the place that made you stardust

@@TreySarver Cody don’t got enough Money to buy ROH he’s already went to Impact WWE best move for him

He essentially handicapped himself. His opponents at that point where either talent they wanted to build or new talent that haven't established themselves so they can work a program before going on to bigger things. Turning heel was the obvious answer and trope to put himself at the top of the card. By not doing so, he removed himself from $ feuds like Punk, Danielson, Mox and others. From a business stand point its stupid to not put your biggest draws in feuds vs each other. Too much time spent on building up guys nobody would ever care about. (Ogogo, QT, Nightmare Factory)

That was such a dumb thing to do... Wrestling isn't that important to never book yourself to win a title...We like people that take the business seriously but that is taking it wayyy too seriously

Bingo, the Codyverse was born out of a need to find relevancy. Removing himself from the tittle picture also removes him from the feuds surrounding the title picture. Cody cemented himself in the mid card. Since the mid card title is necessary to boost rising stars, Cody can really only be involved there if he’s a transitional champ being used to enhance younger talent. That’s why we saw the “open challenge and the Ogogo feud. That’s Cody embracing it. After Ogogo Cody is kinda left in limbo, but birth of his child and a smattering of other things are taking place so it’s not noticeable. When Cody was ready to come back and they paired him with Malakai Black for his debut was when things finally came completely off the rails. The fake retirement, the random Brandi appearances, the Glock promo, the suit burning, the table spot with Andrade and finally the Lambert segments. The Codyverse was absolutely a nonsensical, convoluted mess, an amalgamation formed by the pieces/angles in which Cody used every trick he’d ever learned, and a few new ones too, to hold onto his “Thronebreaker”/wrestling revolutionary gimmick. This is the result.

If he would’ve turned heel he could’ve pulled back the world title commitment to expand his character as it would be the bad guy thing to in reneging on the promise you made. I always looked at him with respect for making that commitment but I was always disappointed that he couldn’t be involved in those feuds because I was always a Cody fan for better or worse.

@@jthom0027 Jay Lethal's in the KZfaq camp, unfortunately....

@@bradpaton3927 I know. He needs to be brought to tv. I don't even mind if he's used as a "jobber to the stars", its just such a waste of talent to have him on youtube.

They were nothing but a bunch of outcast mudshow fucks, with no real star power or real talent..... Glad the little runt Marko Stunt has gone and Big Swole. too.. The Dork order just awful...Abadon and almost the entire female roster has got to go... ! The acquisition of the WWE guys was a good move... more who become free agents would be great!

@@bradpaton3927 WTF! Was that all about, proves Tony Khan knows fuck all..... You bring Leathel in to job for Sammy and Starks bad move.... He should have beaten Sammy for TNT belt .. Yet Cody returns to easy beat Sammy... Tony Khan.. the best booker give me a break! He has no idea what's so ever, doesn't know how to build wrestlers or tell stories and angles... MLW NWA is miles better than AEW ...

Match and promo agent.

Shooot his finger guns at the audience.

I REALLY REALLY Hope thats what ends up happening.. That'd be the best possible outcome at this point, atleast in my humble opinion
