If this wasn't a rehash of Mark Henry attacking John Cena in the salmon-colored suit, I don't know what is.

I mean, it obviously is. But we remember EVERYTHING because most of us have been fans upwards of 10, 15, 20 years. I think the soft seven-year rule applies here for redoing a specific angle.

Cody Rhodes is a babyface all right.

Cody Rhodes is a babyface all right. It’s a hard thing to balance, because the alternative to being a bit dumb sometimes and falling for shit, is being suspicious of literally everything to the point of paranoia. Could you imagine how much of an asshole Rhodes would look if he was like “…Bitch, you ain’t retiring, you’re trying to f*** on me” and Styles actually WAS retiring?

I wanna see a fake retirement angle where the face absolutely does not fall for it and ends up just going so far that the retiree just ends up retiring for real.

That Henry segment is a 11 years old at this point. I think it’s ok to rehash it. It also worked again tonight to get major heat on AJ.

I’m surprised we never got Steve Austin doing this.

If this is the end for AJ, then a final match against Cody is a fitting way to end it. For over 20 years, AJ has been consistently among the top 10 wrestlers on the planet and has had a pretty stellar career.

As much as Mark Henry turned out to be a douche nozzle, I am still sad that he didn't win the title after that promo.

I thought this was leading to him either
A. Having a match with Aldis
B. Making an appearance in TNA (after NXT on Tuesday)
But no v Cody again at an overseas PPV. I mean the last match was hot I get it but does anyone really think AJ is winning the title?

Oh, I just now parsed what the thread title actually says. Took me a whole day to process that.
