Best part of tonight (paraphrasing)
JBL: So you're mad Sandow screwed you over at MITB?
Cody: Yeah.
JBL: But it's every man for himself at MITB. Wouldn't you have done the same?
Cody: Yeah.
JBL: So how are you justified?
Cody:...
With Sheamus gone, Rhodes is clearly deciding to step up as the "least likeable face in WWE."

What was with JBL and the King owning him on commentary? They picked him apart nicely.

Actually I felt that JBL started to go softer on him after he realized how truly clueless he was.

Yeah it was weird, the commentators were treating him as if he was the heel in this feud.

With all the other face turns, they should've just pushed Cody as a top heel.

He wasn't the best this week, but I blame the announcers. Their job should've been to help put him over as a face.
I think Cody's done a decent job so far. I think Damien Sandow is also a great first heel for him to feud with, as he can generate good heat.

Actually here's been doing pretty well. He hasn't completely changed his personality to a shiny happy face. He's still the same Cody that he was, just against a much bigger jerk in Sandow.

My only major issues with it is that they used a distraction finish AGAIN, I can't remember the last RAW that didn't have either a distraction or count-out finish.

He's a fine face, but when JBL was relentless with everything...it's hard to make sense of EVERYTHING a face does. Hell, most face turns in general aren't exactly "good" turns.
I have no idea why they were being so rough on him on commentary. I think Cody could be a decent face if given the right role.

Is Cody the face? I mean, who's this angle for anyway? The casual fans aren't going to be too invested in it, so it's more for the people like us. We're on Damien's side, mostly. And Cody's probably going to get his come-uppance at SummerSlam.
This is a Sandow push.

I thought Cody was fine. He did ultimately say the reason he was so pissed at Sandow was because Damien kept talking about how he was better than him, when they were supposed to be friends, and, supposedly, equals. JBL and King were relentless though.

It was particularly stupid since Sandow had no reason to be distracted by it seeing as he had taken precautions to keep it from being taken. And why does whoever's in charge keep letting Cody come to ringside for Sandow's matches? |

The announcers made valid points of MITB being every man for himself and didn't put over Cody as a face at all. Makes him seem like a whiney douche heel (which in reality he is), but it totally contradicts the storyline.

Last night just had a number of strange incidents. But on topic, yeah, I'm really disappointed so far with Cody as a face... after his reaction at (the admittedly unnaturally hot crowd in-) MITB, I thought he'd get over better. But none of this is really working, except Sandow is still hated.

Cody was trying really hard to paint himself as the good guy, yet for some reason the commentators interrogated him to the point where he came off like a bad guy.
Why did the announce table choose this occasion with Cody (who really needed this opportunity to solidify himself as a babyface) to suddenly become all logical? If you're going to tell a flawed story, you can get away with it as long as you don't pick holes in it!!

They turned him face just for this one storyline and then they forget about him? |
