Cody Rhodes asks for release from his contract

[Tide Run This]

He got screwed over in legacy angle too the night Orton RKO Dusty the crowd was hot for Cody to attack Randy but WWE pipes in Cena chants instead of playing up Legacy chaos he got a raw deal for a long time he's been forgettable in recent years he's a great talent WWE just didn't even try to give him a break instead they let waste of space like Swagger hold MITB and the title. Forgot he was over big time too when he and Sandow were battling for MITB of course WWE buried them both so they can give us they chosen ones.

Damn I hate that but hopefully he'll get a good shot somewhere else like njpw maybe even in the bullet club

Tragic....Beth got pregnant and became a man in the aftermath...Zack Ryder means dog $hit to the company.....Kofi had to dance his way out of hell...Punk quit when he couldn't keep winning..and Bryan's body couldn't keep up with his heart for the business.

holy shyt

 

[DStyles]

Dude had the look, last name, and skill. Should have gotten a big push. I mean guys like JBL and Daniel Bryan got push and they were

 

[Shadow]

he's always been a smark favorite but steady gets crickets from live crowds

0:25, 1:44 and 4:54

Oh well.

Stardust could've worked had he actually been a fukking villain. The super hero craze is at its peak..

THAT WOULD'VE REQUIRED DEPICTIONS OF VIOLENCE AND WE CAN'T HAVE THAT ON A WRESTLING SHOW WHERE ONLY 18% OF THE AUDIENCE IS UNDER THE AGE OF 18, BROTHER!

They could have made much better use of him, wade, & sandow down in NXT instead of letting them go. NXT's main event scene is super stale and it would do wonders for stale wrestlers do go down there and refresh their characters while putting over & helping build the new guys.

i agree, I always felt like when they bring a bunch of people up from NXT they could always send some of the guys the don't do much with on the main roster down

I think this is good for the business. More and more guys arent content with being jobbers and know there are other ways to make money while enjoying their work. The E is gonna have to change up the way it does business as more and more guys dip.

 

[Swiggy]

Go make a name for yourself, young cawdy

Can you show up on UP UP Down Down in disguise, tho ?

Eh, sometimes. Not for guys that have been on the roster as long as someone like Cody. The mid card should be refreshed every 5 years or so. A big part of the staleness of WWE the past few years is directly due to how many guys have been around for years doing nothing, but still being on TV.

Cody - 9 years on WWE TV
Ziggler - 11 years on WWE TV in various forms
Ryder - 9 years on WWE TV
Cesaro - 4 years on WWE TV
Axel - 6 years on WWE TV
Wade - 6 years on WWE TV
Slater - 6 years on WWE TV
Primo - 8 years on WWE TV
Epico - 6 years on WWE TV
Swagger - 8 years on WWE TV
Usos - 6 years on WWE TV
Sandow - 4 years on WWE TV, nearly 10 years in WWE system all together
Miz - 10 years on WWE TV


And this isn't even taking into consideration the higher on the card vets like Mark Henry/Big Show/Cena/Orton/Kane that have been around 15-20 years consistently. Calling up NXT people and bringing in NJ guys and TELLING you how many new stars they have doesn't mean the majority of their mid card is stale as fukk and needs to be shuffled anyway. Sending those guys down to NXT isn't going to help.

If you've been on TV for 5 years or more and haven't been able to break out or completely change yourself like Kofi, you should be booted and replaced with fresher talent.

In for the future tumblr post

Hes the grandchild of a plumber this isnt how its supposed to end

 

[El Poyo Loco]

Remember how the IWC celebrated that night?
for one brief moment..... the neckbeards had won.

Then when the ratings came out the neckbeards had to hold that L. Vince was see I told you so.

 

[Ribbs]

The legacy.
The knee pads that ended up on sitting on his boots.
The mustache.
The Rhodes Scholars.
The white belted IC title.
The muscle buster.
The Undashing.
The Brotherhood.
The Stardust.

I was always a fan of Cody and I'm glad he decided to move on rather than stay stagnant. Where ever he ends up I wish him nothing but success. Maybe in a few years, he can return and win the big one for Dusty.

 

[SAJ!!]

Sad shyt. He deserved better.

True dat.
