Cody and the Bucks pull this off then they become millionaires, they fail then Cody will have to beg for his job back in the wwe to make ends meet and the Bucks will accept a wwe deal to support their families. I don't see this as breaking them. Young Bucks (and Cody) seem smart enough to set this up where this won't sink them. They won't have to sell 10K to break even.

People are acting as though they're putting up their house for this. They'll be fine, Bucks with HT, PWT, and Wrestling made about 7 figures this year.
It's also not about just tickets, its about merchandise and autographs they do there as well. Last week at Mexico there was a line that went around a block while they signed autographs. Do 20$ for one plus 10$ extra for a photo and you'll make good money from that alone

Though I'm sure they will.

Do they really need Punk? I actually doubt that they would need him to be there in order to draw a good crowd. Punks UFC debacle showed the man draws eyes. He drew for all the wrong reasons. Both UFC and Wrestling fans wanted to see him get his ass kicked(which happened).

Yea, that was a "freak show" aspect that you expect from Bellator not UFC The interest was can he actually fight and if not how badly will he get his ass whooped

Paying to see a guy get his ass kicked is one of the core ways wrestling draws so that's not necessarily a bad thing.
I actually doubt Cody or the Bucks will pay up the nose for talent because honestly depending on where they're going to run they've already got 2k to 3k in the bag. A bigger name like Rey might get them an extra 1k but that's seriously doubtful. The only big names that could be worth the extra money would be Bryan or Punk but Punk isn't going to wrestle and I seriously doubt Bryan would ask for "break the bank" money.

I want the bucks to succeed but not Cody motherf***er cursed out Daniel Cormier just for disliking a Young Bucks sequence in YouTube, Cody went personal and said that all mma fighters ask Triple H for a job when their career dies. Cody is a sensitive keyboard warrior that wouldn't dare being on the same place as Cormier.
It just pissed me off, Daniel never went into a Jim Cornette type of diatribe, he never insulted anyone and f***ing Cody who can't even own last name turned into a bitch.

Cody "I can't call myself Runnels because that won't draw on the indies" Rhodes.
Co-promote it with a Joey Janela Spring Break card.

The funniest thing is Bullet Club fans getting mad and actually legitimately saying that Cody could beat up Cormier because Cody was an amateur wrestler and DC is just a brawler.

Yeah poor DC who's an Olympic wrestler against Cody's scrub division 5 thanks for participating trophies. Ugh this were the same IWC fans who actually thought Punk was gonna win. If there were a fight between DC and Cody Rhodes, let's just all imagine how the Sub Zero original fatality from MK1 would look like in real life.

Earlier today or yesterday. Cody is not a draw and he's getting press because he's leaching the Young Bucks. Cody is not a star and never will be one. Dusty's ghost should appear like Obi Wan and tell his son that he'll never be a star babbeh.

I guess for me he never felt like a person that fits into the Bullet Club group and his association along with the Bullet Club name was a perfect storm In the end, no matter the circumstances he's getting the money and notoriety so he's riding that wave along with YB. Kenny sort of seems odd man out tho considering for the longest time I expected him and YB to split from BC and market The Elite as their own brand

Kenny sort of seems odd man out tho considering for the longest time I expected him and YB to split from BC and market The Elite as their own brand I think Cody was New Japan's plan B for a new gaijin joining the Bullet Club. If you check back the tweets of the Young Bucks and Kenny Omega during that time, they were teasing Ryback. Unfortunately for Ryback the American guy that books gaijins sabotaged him and Cody apparently was the second option. If Cody is making money then great for him, it just infuriates me when fake rasslers try talking tough to legit fighters. I felt the same way when CM Punk tried talking shit to Mickey Gall. To quote Eazy E, "the bastard is just a studio gangster."

Cody said this was the first year he made "big money" so i'm assuming over a million but yeah I hear you, he's def riding a high and while Cody is tough in his own right, you don't want to come at a professional fighter and former champion YB and Kenny may have dodged a bullet (no pun intended) by not getting Ryback. No telling what type of shit he would have been on and how he would have reacted to merch money and all that

Cody is a big draw actually. The place was on fire for him in Pittsburgh during the Global Wars show. His lines for photos were as long as Omegas. The Bucks moved as fast and Marty's did. Cody has gate numbers that show he is a draw.

You know, I think they might be missing a key detail about Daniel Cormier's fighting style and life in general, but....hmm.
