I could've put this in the social media thread I know but Cody posted this and I just I'm thinking back on the Codyverse and all its shenanigans like this rn

If he was gonna go full Bo Dallas in NXT as delusional face (like I thought he was doing) then yes.
But otherwise, no. No you weren't.

The "It ain't ever on the fans" makes it sound like he's admitting that he failed and ended up a heel, but it's easy to read in multiple ways - probably intentionally for the purpose of saving face.

It's ambiguous, but my first impression reading it was that he's saying that the fans wanting to boo someone is what makes someone a heel, so the fans by definition can't be "wrong" about who they want to boo. In any case, definitely a smooth, good answer he can only give now after so much distance from the situation. The opposite of insight into what he was thinking at the time.

Cody is great, but he's straight-up lying here. We were all there, Cody!

Didnāt he say heels and faces was an āoutdated tropeā?

Yeah, this feels like spin, especially with how they kept going so aggressively hard on continuing to try to position him as a conquering hero.

It ain't ever on the fans which is why I cut a lengthy rambling promo on the fans which I believe I referred to at the time as 'the most creatively inspired complete waste of time promo I have ever seen'

Well, the point is that he didn't want to be a heel, but he was heel to a portion of those fans.
Which leads me to the most important question: if he didn't want to play a bad guy, then why should he have stuck around in AEW where he wasn't happy?
If he wants to be a face, then it was wise of him to sign with another company where he could play the character he wants to be. Cody's likely going to put on better performances if he's more emotionally invested in what he's doing.

I think his point is that to the fans he was a heel and that its not the fans fault. But Cody says a lot of shit anyway,hard to know when he is being sincere

See, I never just did things just to do them. Come on, what am I gonna do? Just all of a sudden book myself as a super face that the fans hate like it's something to do? Come on. I got a little more sense then that.
Yeah, I remember booking myself as a super face that the fans hate.

Were you Cody? WERE YOU?
Because I seem to remember it a little bit differently. I remember that we were all starting to boo you because of the same predictable formula over and over, and instead of just going with the flow, you decided to lean into it and try to be AEW's John Cena. Well, my good sir. I know* John Cena. I was very good friends* with John Cena. And you, Cody Rhodes, are no John Cena.
* No I don't/was not

If true, maybe they were trying to go meta with it?
