We got the Armed Anderson promo, the black bitch promo, Cody setting himself on fire, AVOID AVOID AVOID, Cody ending racism, Alex Abrahantes becoming a thing solely to mouthpiece Penta suddenly wanting to keep Cody from holding his unborn daughter. It was nonsense at all timews and it was absolutely beautiful. It was f***ing dogshit and a bad idea, but the only real agonizing part was the arguing about if Cody means it or if he's just completely off the mark. Jericho has never given one segment as gloriously stupid as Cody's greatest hits. It's not so bad it's good, it's just bad. He's 'in on the joke' now but it's not better to be doing the exact same shit but now with a wink to the camera. The thuing with parodying your own stuff is you have to do something with it that isn't just literally more of the same. He's still doing more of the same. Yeah, I'd argue being in on the joke is worse... cause like you admit that it's bad... and you're doing it anyway... it's like when WWE would state an obvious problem on television... but then not like... try to fix the problem. (Baron Corbin is causing teh main event ratings to plummet... better stick him in more slots...)

I voted for Cody Island because, as annoying as Jericho's gotten, Cody's stuff was getting physically painful to sit through. However, if it was an option, I prob'ly would've voted for... Third option: Whatever the f*** Collision was with CM Punk for the first month and a half of its existence where he banned half the roster from it The Island of Misfit Toys, featuring long-ass Punk matches and everyone sucking up to him. That was a miserable time. Also a big factor in why I want FTR to go away for a good long while.

Codyverse was better. Like, yes, there were rough spots, obviously, but cool shit happened in it, too, and the matches themselves tended to be good, like Sammy and him in the ladder match on the way out.
Not like Jericho hasn't had some great matches in there, obviously, but Cody never completely shit the bed like one of Jericho's Orange Cassidy matches where he got completely blown up and was legitimately embarrassing to watch, like him being unable to take Orange's "Mouse Trap" move right at all, which, given it was the finish, wasn't great.
