Cody’s babyface character was always the most WWE-like gimmick to exist outside WWE.The only thing that comes close to it is Tanahashi’s “Ace of the Universe” persona. Both tailor-made for WWE. It’s no surprise Cody was immediately a mega star when he jumped ship. Always wanted a mini Tana heel run He plays such a good condescending asshole

I was definitely in the “this HAS to be going somewhere” camp. When he walked out at the first Grand Slam in the full on Homelander attire with that giant ass cape, it seemed inescapable.
And then, just…not?
There were times people were booing Cody where’d I’d argue “I don’t think people even know *why* they’re booing him”, but the fact was they were, and he refused to go with it to the point that it became utterly baffling.

Remember when everyone thought he was going to have a big feud with Penta then he just no-sold his finisher, beat him, and moved on?

This was dreadful for me. I know I was one of the more vocal Cody haters and still am. Me and Cjb had a lot of verbal clashes at the time due to my intense dislike of Cody haha.

Cody being around gave us Mr. Brodie Lee killing dude and then hitting him the shattered remains of the old TNT title while Anna Jay choked out Brandi. Will forever love his run for that alone.

His 'why are you booing me I'm right' phase where he was empirically wrong was funny trash TV until I got sick of it and then he left and I learned to never trust anything a wrestler says and now that it's over that entire run is just hilarious with hindsight

The perfect epilogue to the entire bizarre situation of the Codyverse is that guy who posted himself giving the middle finger to Cody when he made his WWE return from what looks like a very expensive section of the Wrestlemania crowd.

I can confirm it is expensive as shit cause I was there and the prices from Tampa the year before to Dallas was outrageous

This is one of those things where I'm glad I can just look back and laugh my ass off it now, knowing that AEW and Cody have been doing pretty well without each other.

Remember when everyone thought he was going to have a big feud with Penta then he just no-sold his finisher, beat him, and moved on? "Y'all not letting it play out to see what happens" I hated that. Like Penta was building really good momentum in those few weeks and then the Cody shit was just this weird 2 week feud and that was it

One of the all-time great Codyverse moments. "With everything going on in the world today-" THWACK I remember thinking this was a sign Cody was self-aware. I was...mistaken.

The eternal Cody vs. Malakai Black feud was the funniest thing and of course, it gave us Arn Anderson and his glock. I remember watching that and letting out a loud "WHAT???".
Brandi's "You might be a black belt but I'm a BLACK BITCH" line still makes me want to cry. What was she thinking? lmao
