and those matches were absolutely excellent
Brock was an absolute dimes machine the whole time and did a lot more work for Cody than people expected him to
>>18475787 >pricing them out of attending events
The type of people you're talking about have nothing to spend their money on but retarded pop culture consumerism. Price hikes mean that tradies and factory workers with families to feed will think twice about spending money on wrestling, while for the :O-facers it just means a funko pop less that week.
>>18475810
Their last match was a masterclass. It was just Cody getting beat up and thrown outside, beating the count each time but the place was going crazy for the Codester narrowly escaping count out.

The gay soi reddit fags that they're eliminating are all jobless neets or 35 year old fast food worker "communists" who think its society's fault their history of african cultures and society's degree doesn't let them make 120k a year.
>>18475845
Brock has continually said he actually likes wrestling and the backstage aspect of it, but despises the travel. He'd never go full time. Heyman even said he called Vince when Brock first got called up from OVW and told him not to do the slow burn kind of push with him because he didn't think he'd last more than 5 years before he retired.
>>18475872
Whaddya bet this fuck pirates the streams, lives with his mom and door dashes are his only interaction with outsiders?
Or is he an underage high school faggot?
>>18475902
Brock is the person that if he is given trainer status at the rec center, he would be a drill sergeant putting the dumb kids into wrestling shape, even at the Olympics.
By the Way it would be too OP because Norman Smiley already trains the NXT kids and the Wrasslin department improved a lot, and Norman's old master was the most feared motherfucker in wrestling and martial arts in the US.
>>18475852
Hell yes. That was when Cody was absolutely on top of the world too. Glad that Brock is back to help out, he literally does not miss since growing the beard. Even his throwaway squash match with Omos was good

I watch PPVs using the $20 per year Peacock deal they run every black friday, but will be purchasing the ESPN DTC sub because I watch more sports than I do wrestling to begin with. I watch Raw using my $24.99 Netflix subscription, which I purchase because it broadcasts at 4K which I watch on my $870 OLED TV which I payed for by working at job.

Jesus Christ anon, he's just a boy.
>>18475852
Cody beating several near-ten counts had a stadium of people jumping up and down on their feet, and retards out there still nearly kill themselves for mild applause. I get the game is different when you're over, but you'd hope some guys would get a clue seeing that.
>>18475657 (OP)
Codester is in danger of nuking his fanbase. At this point the only ones who defend him from the rabid anti-smark / podcaster types still angry about WM 40 are the people he’s pissed off recently with his Hogan acknowledgment and Brock support. Maybe he’s hoping to gain some of the goodwill of the Rock/Roman/Brock anti-smarks but I doubt it works, they seem to be some bitter fuckers.
>>18475979
I'd make a strong case that Brock is the GOAT. His athleticism, his power, his look, his charisma, his believability, his bumping and selling.
>>18475997
There is a reason that Cody says if any wrestler's favourite match isn't Rock/Hogan then they don't understand the business.
>>18476043
You are in a bubble, retard
My nephews shook Cody's hand like 2 years ago and he's still their favorite wrestler ever
Because he took the time to walk around and greet all his fans and be the babyface that he's supposed to be, unlike anyone else
Fuck every single one of you smark faggots who don't live in the real world. Go back to the AEW shows and stay there forever
>>18476043
What a weird schizophrenic post.
The only people who dislike Cody are the people who already hated him in Nooj, and the sycophants who specifically hate him for leaving AEW.
Most others love him.
I mean, you just gotta.
>>18475902
I think Brock loves wrestling but ever since his early push hes had exceptional privilege. That only got worse when he got into UFC and successfully became the champ
So he loves the business but hates the grind, especially since hes never had to do it
>>18476072
Oh no question about that. Brock Lesnar is at the very peak. His selling is one of a kind. I loved going back and watching his 2002 run a few years back. His bounce in his step and his speed combined with power is unmatched. The hell in a cell with Taker where he throws Taker up onto his shoulders for the F5 from a regular body slam position....un-goddamn-believable.
>>18476133
He did have to do it 20+ years ago though. He was hooked on vodka and pills at the time too. That combined with seeing guys way older than him still in the business, broken down and chugging pills made him get out. He does enjoy wrestling but the full time schedule was too rough for him back in the day.
>>18476124
Yes, I love my family members and bond with them at professional wrestling shows like a normal human being
I wouldn't want any children anywhere near someone like you, that's for sure
>>18476108
He’s literally the only reason I still watch at this point so my post wasn’t anti Cody. Just what I’ve noticed on social media over the past year or so. The people excited to see Brock back usually seethe about Cody any chance they get, and vice versa the people calling Brock a piece of shit (that are WWE fans) tend to like Cody quite a bit. Same thing with Hogan’s passing and Cody’s remarks.
>>18475657 (OP)
Cody is a ride or die nigger. If he considers you a brother then you are always his brother. He still shouts out Kenny and the Bucks despite Gaytch and the TKO kikes seething over him acknowledging the competition. It took him going back to the Fed to finally "get it" and understand how to balance an over the top personality without being being overbearing to the audience.
He went all in, bet on himself, and now it's time for him to come home.
Come home Codemeister
>>18476190 >despite Gaytch and the TKO kikes seething over him acknowledging the competition
Sami name-dropped AEW on RAW.
Punk has taken several shots back at AEW.
Paul himself referenced them once with his "pissant company" line.
Nick Khan also has taken shots.
Different guys feuding with Cody alluded to his time there.
I don't think anyone in upper management actually cares that Cody acknowledges his time there.
>>18475657 (OP)
I'M DONE WITH THIS FUCKING COMPANY!
I ALREADY PIRATE EVERYTHING, BUT NOW I'M GOING TO CONTINUE PIRATING EVERYTHING! THAT WILL SHOW THEM!
>>18476177
Xitter was the source of Cody even winning the title at WM last year, because Dwayne couldn’t handle the hate posts. That website has a bigger direct impact on public opinion than 4chan does, especially where something like pro wrestling is concerned
>>18476212
WWE was just Cody proving to Tony that he does know what he is talking about and can become the biggest star in the industry. Now that Cody is done playing around and making a point it is time to come home and put the house he built with his brothers back in order.
>>18476277
It wasn't just twitter, it was literally every social media site. They got blasted everywhere. And people in the arenas were demanding Cody.
>>18476296
You’re right, they made Cody look like a retarded faggot for giving up his spot because they knew that the audience would reject a Rock vs Roman match, it was all a work brought to you by Dwayne Johnson, who totally isn’t still mad about it today.
>>18476300
Are you fucking retarded? Cody just had an interview where he said he wasn't leaving WWE since he felt completely disrespected in AEW
>In the end, the way I see it is, if I felt disrespected ever at WWE, that’s one thing. That’s a company that… that’s the Yankees. That’s the flagship of it all. If I ever felt there that I was a number on a sheet, maybe. But feeling disrespected at something I built... with my friends. That we built. Feeling disrespected there — I wouldn’t stand for it. don’t believe in the cold-hearted, backstabby type of revenge. The greatest revenge on Earth is success. And, I felt like we were sitting on something wonderful, something great, a huge, potential with what I was doing with the American Nightmare as a bad guy, as a good guy, something in between. We were sitting on something magic. And if I’m not going to do it in the house I literally, with Matt, Kenny, and Nick built? Then, buddy, I’m going elsewhere.
>>18476360 >>18476395 >Dwayne tried to make Cody look like a retarded faggot by stealing his match >Cody is too popular and baby to be treated like a jobber bitch like that >Dwayne loses face >goes on to do his very best work in 20 years feuding with Cody
Shut up black niggers
>>18476443
No, not really.
None of that was important.
Cody was literally selling out arena after arena prior to the Rock's involvement because people waited two years for the finish to this. They didn't need to inject anything else into the story at all. In fact, it kinda made Roman a third-wheel. The only people that got more shine off this than they would have were Rock and that faggot Seff.
>>18476473 >Dwayne comes back as a face >books himself to be a face >completely loses his face status without his consent, forcing a pivot
You're delusional.
>>18476743 >Normal humans watch many fictional programs, anon.
Millions and millions MORE people than watch wrestling >What precludes them from watching wrestling?
When normal people watch WWE they see what you see when you watch AEW.
>they want to get rid of the heckin redditors!1!1
Fucking retards, squaredcircle is one of the most pro-WWE places on the internet now. The fucking front page is all WWE shit. I would go far to say that 4chan is the most pro-AEW ecosystem on the internet
>>18476083
I was at summerslam and he was getting nuclear heat
he got booed more than anyone else on the card
I'm not saying the fans there hated him for this terminally online bs, but saying he's good at being a babyface is not correct
>>18476874
Cool. I was at Summerslam as well and he was also getting a good mix of cheers, even against Cena, and got a massive standing ovation when he he won.
>>18476892 >he was also getting a good mix of cheers
disingenious; it was at best 80/20 boos to cheers. he got heavily cheered during his entrance, I'll give you that. any time after that it was overwhelming boos >and got a massive standing ovation when he he won.
simply untrue. people were booing the shit out of him from when he did the salute to after the pin. they didn't give any positive reaction until Cena got up again.
>>18476933
80/20 is fair, considering no one was getting cheered over Cena this run. But you're delusional, he got a massive ovation on his win. The salute was what sealed it.
>>18476277
it brings me a lot of joy that a lot of people continue to get worked by this, everything went mostly according to plan, cody was supposed to lose the rumble then rock would come in because punk chose seth and then they'd make it look like we're going to get rock vs roman but then cody would win the chamber and then the story would play out exactly how did it. Paul understands that the best way to get your babyface over is to make it seem like he's getting screwed. Social media didn't force wwe, wwe forced social media.
