Cody watched a pirated stream of the ppv

[Chuck Conry]

Anyone else see this on all the news sites? Apparently Cody Rhodes.. millionaire...former EVP of AEW admitted to bootlegging the show.

I hadn't heard about this but my reaction is pretty much, "Eh, and?"

[Finish Uncle Muffin’s Story]

The actual quote makes me think maybe somebody at the company sent him a link instead of him buying it. “Not going to tell you who sent me that” infers to me that he got a link directly from a trusted source.

“I only saw some highlights from Ricky, I had a pirated feed, which I probably should have just figured out how to get the right feed. Not going to tell you who sent me that. I thought Ricky did great, really proud of him. Chris Jericho is an absolute legend, he's more than a legend, he's Chris Jericho. For Ricky to be able to deal with that and handle that in the way he did, very proud of Ricky.

Yeah, I kind of imagine he's either being facetious or yeah, someone in the company sent him it, but it's funnier to imagine he bootlegs these on the regular, probably before he watches anime on sites that are putting his antivirus through its paces.

Cody better be careful

That damn Tony Khan sending out links to his own shows!

With the older price model (50$-60$) I figure that is how a decent sized section of the fanbase watch the AEW PPVs in the US at least...

which also likely skews AEWs numbers lower.

Also doesn't help the fanbase is younger and more knowledgeable about how to locate them.



This is not me justifying pirating just perception as someone that works in IT and notices the trends of streaming...


AEW seems like a product where it's fanbase would be much more apt to do so just because of the ability to

Wrestling has more than one royal family (and I gotta feed them)

[Doo Doo Dickhead]

Reminds me of the time Michelle Beadle posted a screenshot of the WWE PPV she was watching, and it was on an illegal streaming site.

[Terry McConkey]

Well, if it came out that Cody had PURCHASED it, would that be a bad look with Triple H?

Triple H: All right Cody, how do you explain this recent photo of you wearing an AEW shirt?

Cody: Uhhh, I stole that too.

Triple H: You damn well better have!

Cody: Whew, that was a close one.

Cody took the wrong lesson from Arn's glock speech and figured he needed to become a criminal, but this is all he's been able to manage so far.

[thegatewaydrug]

I betcha he just watched it on QTV.

"Brandi, where are the scissors?"
