I can buy his onscreen character hating what was done with his brother, it makes perfect sense both for his current and past heel personas. That was a darn great pipebomb by Cody. Weird that we've gotten two in a row. Now I'm going to wonder if someone else drops one next week. And since Edge returns next week....... I really don't hope "pipebomb" becomes a regular term around here. OMG remember big Dusty's pipebomb about hard times?!

I've got a hundred terrible Facebook wrestling pages on my newsfeed and that stupid term gets used a LOT. I liked the fact Cody said "he's never been the same" about Dustin, which I took as meaning it affected his mind which turned him into Goldust. I'm glad they didn't ruin his own story, though, saying something like "they made ME wear a stupid mask like I was some kind of comic book character" or something. As it was, great promo and finally gives face Cody some purpose and edge. Can't wait to see where it goes from here.

What is so shoot about this?
It is possible to easily explain it away that in Kayfabe that WWE told Dusty to wear polka dots and that they told Dustin to dress in gold (which as Cody pointed out Dustin was never the same again and he startedlosing his mind and transformed in to Goldust). It's not a stretch to imagine WWE trying to strictly control their talent in kayfabe as thats what the current storyline is kind of about and has been done in storyline many times before.
nothing worked shoot about it at all.
Same as how Trips calling Big Show "Paul" isn't really "Shoot". Big Show competed as Paul Wite in WWF for a bit and I always assumed that even in kayfabe alot of wrestlers use stage names instead of their real names as some of the names couldn't possibly be real.

I loved the way he sold Goldust, saying Dustin was never the same again. Goldust was seriously warped. Overall, personally it was an amazing promo.

It's fine as long as you don't try to assume that every emotional promo is a shoot. They want us to think it's a shoot though. That's why they're blurring the lines so much in the angle. Hard to blame fans for thinking there's some truth in the promo, with the content and the way it was delivered.

He didn't call himself Cody Runnels, brought up that WWE fired his fiancee, threaten to take his talent elsewhere, and didn't use the words "That's a shoot". Therefore it is not a shoot.
