Cody Rhodes is Jon Snow.
The protagonist/hero who was supposed to save everything only for the writers to do something horribly idiotic with them in the final season that ruins it all.

Really glad I decided to play Persona 3 Reload rather than watch Smackdown. Think I'll go ahead and return to just watching NXT again. Tried to give the main shows a chance again and look what happens lol

Legitimate question. Is there any salvaging this storyline?
I thought of Bret Hart/Hulk Hogan but in reverse, but that's not feasible. Either way, this is already a swing-and-a-miss on the level of the Invasion.
You'd think what you'd do when your garnering as much bad publicity as you've gotten due to creepo McMahon, you'd want to stay your course as much as possible, despite the Punk injury, and try to put on as good of a flagship show as possible. But naaaaaaah...

This really is about to be another in a long list of WWE shows I watch just to see how hostile the crowd is. There really is no company quite as talented as WWE at consistently pissing its own fanbase off. |

Know who else had a big, crowning payoff moment whose can kept getting kicked for years? Roman, funny enough. Denied every chance on match after match to get his win over Brock, left going absolutely nowhere and failing to get anything moving. It left him struggling for years, needing 'his coronation' even after he'd already held the world title, and when it finally happened, it didn't push his career to new heights, it just felt like it was finally over. Roman only finally got that accepted top guy push as a heel completely reinvented from everything they wanted him to be, and in the end the ways that Roman built his legacy have piss-all to do with his Brock matches and his failures to ever get one over here. Except, Brock was the guy being built up at the expense of the whole entire company, and instead of playing the role of kingmaker finally handing it over to Roman, all of the years of energy put into him just kinda fizzled out into pointlessness. He didn't launch Roman to new heights so the ways they fed pretty much everyone to him never really felt worth it. It's an interesting contrast, ain't it? Difference being of course Roman was never getting over as a true face with the crowd, and Cody is the most over face they’ve had since, ironically, The Rock and Austin. |

But naaaaaaah... The salvaging was Cody wins at Mania and makes this whole f***ing slog somewhat worth it Now the scenario is Cody either wins the belt at another PPV or not at all period in the foreseeable future So as far as I'm concerned no, there's no salvaging it, they completely whiffed on this and if it's all because of The Rock pushing hard for it? Dude's on my shitlist for life, and Cody's face said it all that he looks completely checked out now, and he should be. |
