Cody's new ShopAEW shirt Oh yes, this was trashed quite hard in the live thread as well ... I got nothin', this is shit, but I have to think Cody knows it's shit and just made it to continue the trolling online.

You can tell he's a bad guy because he's going to stand up for his wife against a guy who called his wife a stripper. Which is the real problem here. People are booing him, but the narrative is generating sympathy and bad guys for him to beat while being in the right. It's a dissonance that isn't really going anywhere or saying anything presently, so if this is what it's all led to, then that's a trash story. I think the MOTY feud is gonna be quick, at least for FAN's sanity I hope it is, but I felt there was a point to Cody not coming out at all for that segment, not when Brandi was out there alone, not when Dustin got taken out. But he's sure as hell gonna show up to defend the TNT Title It felt pretty deliberate they didn't put himout there for a reason In an ideal world, "I had to hit tweet on the announcement of my new shirt" would be where this is going and it plays into his glory hog shit more. In practice? Cody almost never comes out to stand up for anybody. That's not his thing, and it's been one of the biggest issues with his whole Nightmare Family team thing. He lets everyone get beaten up without him around. So it's only deliberate if they follow up with it, if not then it's just a thing he's always done and it means nothing different from any other Codyverse story to the viewer.

He lets his own family get beaten up, rarely mentioning their plight unless it directly involves him. In many ways, he comes off like a deadbeat and not at all sympathetic. But I just can't figure out Cody anymore. This is all his idea and I guess we're stupid idiots who can't fathom the brilliance.

Someone on Twitter said that Brandi’s “black bitch” line sounded like something out of the climax of a Tyler Perry movie.

I’m trying really hard to have THAT talk in this thread, but yeah, that’s both hilarious and accurate. Again, Cody and Brandi have an idea of what their personas are. And it doesn’t match what people see in them. But I suspect Cody knows this and is willing to work with it. I don’t know about Brandi. I think another problem I’m having is beyond Tony Khan, I don’t think anyone in that locker room is willing to tell the Rhodes “hey, this isn’t working”. There’s a certain amount of honesty that isn’t happening.

I was hoping for Gallows and Anderson with the Old Day to interrupt, that’s how cringe that segment made me feel.

I... didn't hear the crowd on Brandi's side. I heard more groans than anything honestly. This isn't even an Anti Brandi thing I just dont think getting her involved with Lambert is a good decision unless it somehow leads to PVZ being used in a match I guess I heard the crowd more going "OOOOOH" by the end of the disses, she got booes near the start but the more she tore into Lambert the more it was getting a better reaction. When Brandi goes nuts in promos, she can get the crowd into it. Listen they’re chanting “let’s go Sheamus”

If I was backstage, I think I would have had my face stuck in my palms for the remainder of the show after she said that.

After her first line it seemed that Brandi was improvising a lot in order to get cheered, I mentioned that it could lead to PVZ returning but also it could lead to a Scorpio face turn imo and have Men of the Year break up, they gotta give up on Scorpio and just make him a goof(it worked with Spears)

So what you're saying is that he is blatantly being roman 2016 and this is good because this time we're all in on it What I'm saying is there's actually a plan to be had here, unlike Roman, where there was a severe lack of direction, for what felt like years. And Roman 2016 would have never dropped two matches in a row to Malakai Black I mean, there probably is a plan to be had and I even understand long term storytelling but man, this is taking fooooooreeeeeeeeevvvvvverrrrrrr to get to whatever the next step is.

That Lambert/Brandi segment with its cringy dialogue and shooty comments was Russo-level shit, IMHO. I half expected Luchasaurus to randomly come out and say he is being forced to "dress up like a Jurassic Park reject" or Jericho to say afterward with a smile "this is all a big work".

You had all the women hating of a Russo segment.

AEW DESPERATELY needs black folk on their management team that’s not married to another staff person because it’s really starting to get ridiculous what makes it through cause nobody has the heart to say “no”

I don't know if Cody can be salvaged at this point.
Certainly not feuding with a bunch of loud mouthed schnooks

It was a missed opportunity that Lambert never said something like Brandi was pretending to be a witch in the past(Nightmare Collective reference).

There's no way someone like Swole or someone not in the Rhodes' circle saw that and went, oh, that's cool. I don't expect an undercarder to be able to just walk over to execs like Brandi and say, "that was wack as hell, please be yourself... Or at least not that." But someone has to, because AEW is definitely getting the wrong attention for this.

Only way I see Cody being saved is if he fully commits and goes into the Too Fast Two Fuego team
