The Cody Rhodes Story Thread (IT'S OVER)

[ace]

The funniest thing they can do now is give Cody the match back and have Roman beat him again.

They should do it.

[Stu]

So is this the most angry y’all have been at the Rock.

Like everyone in the business loves Cody. It's why I said Rock isn't the same guy the old Rock wouldn't do this

Black Adam bombing made him a whiny bitch

He never got failure in his whole life so he was this happy smiley humble dude because he never had to face adversity, even in his earlier movie career when shit like Scorpion King bombed he still had WWE and still had legions of fans

Black Adam bombing and being the reason the DCU failed changed him, or more showed everyone what he truly is. He absorbed the XFL just to kill it, he started a vanity Moana live-action movie project when it was never necessary, and now he's an owner in WWE and the first thing he did was put himself over in spite of everyone else

The Rock is a dick, the last year and change has only cemented the tanking of his legacy as this good natured dude who everyone could get behind, he's just another egotistical shmuck when the cards were down.

What boggles my mind is that they are going to do this in Philadelphia, the smarkiest of wrestling crowds. The absolute balls to do this in Philly amazes me. This is gonna be a train wreck of epic porportions.

Who's the dude on crutches? I recognize Mince, Tad Chilly, Rob Lemons, and Double F.

It's meant to a proxy for Shawn Michaels, but because Rock talks shit about him in this (it was bad 90s Michaels, after all), he kept him "anonymous".

Ironic that Rock's latest stunt is perhaps more selfish than anything Shawn did.

If the story is true he wants to beat Reigns as well

Someone made a good point as well be careful if a corporation owns a big wrestling company

Cody's definitely become the new Daniel Bryan over this, difference is The Rock is in charge and is a giant pissy baby, and he won't budge

He wants things his way no matter what it does. He was the death nail in the DCU and didn't even flinch when it happened, he wants to be the center of attention, and doesn't give a f*** what anyone else thinks at this point

Im expecting Rock to give answers similar to this once he is asked about Main Eventing Mania, the online backlash and Cody.

Dwayne Johnson's "Black Adam" is still his pride and joy.

The actor, 50, defended the antihero DC Universe film in an interview at the Oscars Sunday. "All that we could do when we were making ‘Black Adam,’ was to put our best foot forward and surround ourselves with the best people and deliver the best movie we could," he told Variety.

"Our audience score was in the 90s. Critics took a couple shots, but that’s just the business of it," Johnson added.

The former WWE star also spoke to Variety about Henry Cavill's official exit after "Black Adam" teased a Superman return in the postcredits.

"It’s almost like when you have a pro football team and your quarterback wins championships and your head coach wins championships and then a new owner comes in and says, 'Not my coach, not my quarterback. I’m going to go with somebody new,'" Johnson said.

Yeah not really surprised

I'm glad him thinking he was both making Mania better and returning to be the grand hero has been met with an atomic bomb level blowback.

I would love to know what hhh is thinking

[ChitownKnight]

Can’t someone stop the rock if they had to? Like if Ari thought it was necessary that the main event needed to change

Nah, the steel in my foot won't let me. That and the excess body fat. I am laughing quite well though.

Real betting line is how much Philly boos this match tbh

Open air stadium will mask that though

It's the Linc. It doesn't mask Eagles fans who boo either the other team or their own team. It won't mask angry wrestling fans.

Why would he care? They are going to make a ton of money regardless of who is main eventing. That’s all they care about.

The only thing that has me holding out hope that maybe somebody will come to their senses on this one is that The Rock only cares about one thing, and that’s how the public perceives The Rock. And for the last 24 hours, his public perception has taken an absolute beating, his Q rating among wrestling fans has never been lower, and he’s never been more certain to be on the receiving end of a booing crowd since he was in the Nation of Domination.

With the exclusion of the day the tickets went on sale, the biggest spike in ticket sales happened 12 hours after the Rumble when the WWE made it pretty obvious it was going to be Rhodes vs Cody.

While people are focusing their frustrations through Cody not getting a title shot, I can tell you, as someone who bought 10 tickets and tried to coordinate a trip for them to see Cody wrestle Roman, this situation has left a lot of people generally feeling ripped off.

I brought this up a few times that I work with kids for my job and almost none of them have a strong connection to The Rock. He last wrestled when most of them were 5, and his main run happened a few decades before they were born.

A lot of parents who booked this trip had to pick one day (due to costs and hotel) and most picked Sunday, for the sheer reason their kids wanted to see Cody. I can't imagine how many people feel ripped off now

The Wrestling Club literally had tickets personally booked for them by Cody, and now they won't get to see their hero finish the story.

Ya, I would say thousands of tickets were sold on Sunday so people could take their kids to specifically see Cody Rhodes.

The people buying tickets to both nights are disproportionately single bachelors with a lot of disposable income. Parents could really only pick one day and we picked Sunday as that was when Cody was supposed to wrestle
