He went away as a midcarder, worked his way up again, helped change the landscape of wrestling and came home a Superstar. Truly undesireable to undeniable.
“Change the landscape of wrestling” - keeping some WWE legends busy before their eventual HOF induction and producing maybe 5-6 young stars that’ll debut in NXT by 2024 Cody went away and came back bigger, but a lot of that is the idea of him going away and becoming bigger moreso than AEW actually elevating him. AEW didn’t. Time, distance, and some word of mouth did it.
I wouldn’t say he was only a midcarder before leaving WWE, multiple title reigns, pop culture exposure from working with Stephen Amell, exposure OUTSIDE of pro wrestling! This whole “AEW made him a star, not the WWE” mindset is some tribal BS, even AEW fans know better. Being in the WWE is what made him a “sombody” to begin with. And that’s not tribalism, that’s the factual truth. Who was he before?, other than the little-known son of Dusty Rhodes?
Its amazing to compare this as well when you realise the crowd would be singing his theme but also the whoah is missing, a lot changes in wrestling, even with fans
@@mrpotato2410 I wouldn't say that. Reactions like this are still amazing for what they are, you can tell the energy is there, it's just in a lesser amount
Kinda because Taker has officially retired from wrestling. He was getting way too old and also hes fulfilled his career to the max, theres no need for him to fight anymore
Wow when I saw this i almost cried and WWE have even better announcer i love when this guy do his job and not that poor guy when I hear him how he's stretching the word's,names it's absolutely disgusting for my taste this guy is million times best!!!
I member when Cody Rhodes was facing Seth Rollins before in 10 years ago. Seth Rollins doesn’t know how to beat Cody. I member when they used to wrestle each other before for the Intercontinental Championship in 10 years ago Cody Rhodes has been beaten him more often. Then how Seth even survive he has a long history rivalry but he did say things to personal to guy’s like John Cena, Dean Ambrose, Rey and his son Mysterio, Dolph Ziggler for many times, The Big Show. I love Seth but he does need to learn not to take things to personal. Cody also came back before since 15 years ago!!! 2007/2022 WELCOME BACK CODY!!!!!!
He was totally making more money in aew. Wwe must have made him a great offer if he jumped ship again. How many wrestlers did they have to fire to pay him.
