"People say so and so is underutilized but those guys are lazy, they're phoning in at live events"

Cody Rhodes on E&C's Podcast: "You'll see people on social media say so and so is underutilized but not a lot of those people know that those guys are lazy, they're phoning in at live events, not trying to do anything more."

Is Cody purposely not trying to burn a bridge with cokeboy for his eventual return? He can't be serious saying this shyt. So Rusev is phoning it in? Randy Orton was phoning it in for a minute and he was still being booked as top guy.

I get the sentiment. I really do. Some people are fans of wrestlers that will never hustle enough to reward their fandom. This is a carny business, and there are plenty disappointments.

Still, Cody has to really stop with this growing delusion that "anybody can do anything I've done." Even Brandi is getting a big head

Dude, your dad was fukking Dusty Rhodes. You're getting a lot more opportunities than anybody else, simply because of your last name. Not everyone else had that privilege.

It’s half and half
Cody was never looked at as the big name guy at any point in his Wwe career
He was third fiddle in legacy behind Orton and ted dibiase
He was given every gimmick and made it work but was never given too much momentum despite his ability and his dedication to characters. He was saddled with being a good hand in tag teams even though he was vastly better then his partners. He’d have entertaining feuds with any and everyone but I can count on one hand how many big matches they had him win. He got in on his daddy name and could have stayed off of it but in order to be who he is now he casted a easy road for the path he’s on now.

What makes you think that Cesaro is lazy?

Also I never noticed that b*stard was a censored word here.

If Da bytch said it, it wouldn’t be sarcasm

I think it could be a combo of things like personally I don't believe WWE's Brass Ring nonsense. They have guys they look at and see at a certain level, there is no getting yourself over there's getting to where they need you to be and I don't believe it's just cold hard business there's a component of them being marks themselves. WWE for instance saw Cody's Stardust as a replacement for Goldust who's one of Vince's greatest creations and I believe he would've still been Stardust. I'm sure there are guys on the roster who when they find out their role and that there is no brass ring do phone in it.

It's Usually trolling/stupidity with that dude

Not everyone has that drive that Cody does to moonsault off a cage, miss, get hit with an Angle Slam, and kick out at 2 or have his wife take a thumbtack bump

Pretty easy as Cesaro is easily one of the hardest workers of the last 6 years.

Because it's not a meritocracy

it's a scripted TV show



Tommy could've had all the "acting chops" and hit every line in rehearsals and tapings...but the show was called "Martin"

What kind of husband allows such a delicate and precious flower to do that?

 

[Toe Jay Simpson]

When did he become somebody? Was it the moonsault off the cage?
