https://youtu.be/Iw3on-_D--Q?si=SLlpxMfmU4H_fxobI don’t care what the numbers and metrics say, this shit has been on auto pilot since Vince got ousted and is basically the same money factory it’s always been minus the cringe schizo booking, Cody Rhodes simply does not have the gravitas or aura that Roman Reigns had as champion, and after three years it’s time for WWE to start asking themselves if he’s really “the guy” or just a face they like to put on backpacks.
Roman drove god knows how many million viewers away, at least Cody is flat, he's over with the people that didn't get the fuck out when he was on top and Vince was losing his mindThe fucking coconut community theater turned wrestling into ultra niche shit and nobody outside of that small bubble thinks Roman is anything except discount Aquaman or whatever
>>20021575Roman is the biggest shitter of all time and legitimately my least favorite wrestler ever.
>>20021575Cody is wrestling's last hope because he's one of the few actually over with kids. It's the Vince method. Those kids might stay fans forever or dip in and out, meanwhile Bloodline fans (mostly bulbas) will be in jail or dead from a gang shootout so they're not gonna be returning customers
If this guy went out on the street nobody would recognize him he is a nobody a fake star
>>20021575>Roman drove god knows how many million viewers awayHe brought them back and made wrestling main stream again after saving it from Vince's schizo booking. Cody took a fat dump on that and now we've gone from back to back sold out venues and record profits to Mania lowering their ticket prices because they know Cody doesn't draw.
>>20021533>giving views to some shoot tranny named Wrestling Boy F
Reigns was over, but had no aura.Cody has aura, but has never been over.
>>20021533There aren't enough viewers left to be sacrificed to get Cody to Roman or Cena levels of "overness".
>>20021533i havent watched WWE for a very long timethis is what is considered a pop and being over now? lol
>Actual stars, Rock and Cena are both gone>WWE is shit again after they leftgee I wonder what happened!
>>20021575>Roman drove god knows how many million viewers awayThat was Cena and for some fucking reason people memory holed that when he started being a part timer
>>20021533The crowd was way more pumped for Cody on Smackdown than this, which is a decent pop but lasts like five seconds then they go silent. Crowd was going mad for Cody to win the match as well, and were excited for said match as well.>>20021906>>20021993There was a mass exodus of fans when Cena stepped away and the return of children and families coincided to the date with Cody's return. Ticket sales have rose exponentially yet the average YoY attendance is almost the same. WM was slower this year with Punk Roman than Cody Roman or Cody Cena.

>>20021930>Cody has aura, but has never been over.>was literally the most over person in the company for almost three straight years in a rowhttps://youtu.be/uDxQmS9XInI?si=Frv9o9kkLMwogGB9
>>20021575VINCE drove viewers away, Roman brought them back during the pandemia and made WWE mainstream again; FACTSthe entire AURA meme literally was built off Roman Reigns edits on social media, his entrance is literally played at arenas all over the world at legitimate sporting events and concertsIt’s not even a question who saved WWE is, anyone with a brain will tell you: Roman f’n Reigns!
roman v cody aura
>>20022109lmao at Romans entrance. They're two different people. Cody has always struggled to maintain momemtum, but I don't really know what would need to change for him to gain Cena levels or command respect in a way other wrestlers can.
>>20022088lmao jey was more over than cody let alone roman
>>20021906Kek you absolute delusional pig
>>20022109Maybe unrelated to their "aura", I feel like you can't even tell that this is a PLE just by looking at it during Cody's entrance. I don't even mean it as a slight towards him, it's more about the staging I guess, it looks like one of the weekly shows.
>>20021575it was 3 million, btw. smackdown used to draw 4 milly before roman's reigns of terror
