He booked himself out of the world title and immediately went on to literally make up his own vanity belt to replace it. He immediately made up his own vanity belt... 6 months later. It's a secondary belt. Literally every promotion has one.

Calling a Midcard title a vanity belt was certainly not what I expected going into this thread..

It's funny calling it a vanity belt considering the belt exists because fans(including me) were nagging AEW for a midcard title. They even acknowledged this when the TNT title was announced. They said they were finally giving the fans what they wanted.

They said they were finally giving the fans what they wanted. The fans, yeah, though also TNT themselves pushed for the introduction of one, which is why AEW put Turner's mansion on the sideplates, and making te belt a celebration of TNT's relationship with wrestling returning after like near 20 years of being over. Cody actually repeatedly was someone turning down doing a midcard title in the past unless he felt it scratched an itch the other ones didn't.

Are we including pre-quad tear Triple H? Because that dude was on fire and wrestled some bangers before the Jericho/Benoit match (which was amazing as well). When early-2000's Haitch gets mentioned, I automatically put it from when he got handed the World Heavyweight Championship moving forward. Triple H had a world-class run from DX until the quad tear. We should call him Post-Quad Triple H instead of Early 2000's Triple H because as stated, Triple H from winning the belt back from Big Show in December 1999 until the quad injury was an incredible heel. He was like the Triple H that Triple H thinks his whole career has been, he was that good.

I will never stop advocating for an official sarcasm font, Thou looking back at the context I see it now, Apologies. Either way, my statement stands, It's their secondary belt.

Cody is basically an 8/10 worker with 10/10 overness because people used to think he was AEW's top booker.
Having said that, he's definitely supposed to be working heel in his matches vs faces. Like an NJPW character, he's just the champion you have to beat regardless of what your alignment is.
His "extras" are definitely grating, but I don't really notice them anymore. He's far more suited to the #2 guy slot he's in now than he would've been in Moxley's spot. I expect him to get the world title eventually, but by then it'll probably feel earned.

It's pretty funny that he's a better NJPW character in AEW than he ever was in NJPW.

Besides attacking/denigrating fellow posters I wish there were more salty posts like this.
It's fun and good
