He reminds me of someone who's gotten rich doing the corporate seminar circuit - he says a whole lot of nothing very very well.

Cody's promo tonight made no sense from a story perspective. Why isn't Cody mad that he was screwed out of the title in the biggest match of the year ie the main event of Wrestlemania? Why is he all of a sudden pivoting to Brock for Backlash instead of demanding a rematch against Roman? He’s already acknowledged and discussed the Wrestlemania loss and demanded a rematch (on last week’s Raw and mentioned again last night). He’s now moving on to Brock because he’s his next opponent and the PPV is 3 weeks away. Roman’s likely off until then Exactly. He also alluded to having to "earn it" which indicates he'll circle back to Reigns once he's through with Lesnar. I don't get the hate for the promo at all. It made sense and the crowd was completely behind him.

Cody is very capable of great promos, last night was a rambling mess

I like his promos a lot. You can tell he puts a lot of thought into them, too. Like, his return promo was about talking to his younger self, and he listed off a whole bunch of stuff he has accomplished in wrestling. That could've gotten him "What?"-ed to death, but his cadence didn't allow it. That wasn't an accident.
I don't think he's the absolute best promo guy, but he's up there.

Cody knows how to cut a good promo, last night wasn't one of his best. It was long, rambling and lost the crowd.
Dude should have just said that the moment that he walked back into WWE, he knew one day that Beastie Boy would be coming for him and coming for him hard. He knew one day he would be going to Suplex City, and that he is more than ready.
Sometimes. less is more.

He can either be REALLY good or REALLY bad. Sometimes both in the same promo!
His delivery is almost always top-notch, where he can make saying a whole bunch of nothing sound really good.

He talks slowly, like he thinks the audience is stupid.

I like Cody's promos and despite coming up short at Mania I believe he will win the title after he gets through Brock.

Cody's promo style reminds me of Cena. He seems to talk as long as he wants and he can break the fourth wall, His cadence is slower but the tone seems the same.

I had noticed it before but this Raw was the first time I felt like just replace the Cody specific stuff with Cena specific stuff and almost word for word this could be a Cena promo.

I want to lie and say I actually read the thread title as "Cody's Pornos" but I really didn't and that makes me sad.

The time of the lull in the promo came when he started talking about Brock. Cody’s strength is believing in what he’s saying on the mic. Methinks dudes unsure bout what this Lesnar feud’s gonna be, iono.
Anyway, yeah he’s pretty good. Cody can be great. He does tend to spin his yarn a bit too long with *Elevated Language”. He’d serve himself by keeping it short at times but I figure WWE loves him taking up a whole stretch of time on RAW cuz -A) that runtime. B) people will watch.
