Because everyone is sick of him and his feud kinda sucks.
He peaked with KO

He's better as a heel. They have no idea what to do with him as a baby face and it's dragging the booking down for three years.

The "cody bad" cult must be having a meltdown right now

>>20284987
his character is in no way believable, entirely inconsistent with his actions, and his moveset is incredibly fucking gay (almost as gay as he looks and acts, which is pretty fucking gay)

Smarks get bored quickly and want new toys and yummy moments. They don't want long term babyfaces because babyfaces are lame that only kids like.

it's these + they can't cope with the fact that cody is a provably bigger draw

>>20285045
But enough about Leakee Bitchtits and his coconut community theatre group

>>20284987
His feud with Cena doesnt make sense. Cena was jobbing left and right. Everything was fucking lame.

I have nothing against him, I just don't see anything about him that makes me think he should be the main guy. He doesn't have the mass appeal of Hogan or Austin, and he's not even popular with the kids like Cena was. Drew or Randy would be much more entertaining champions.

All the fakeness of Dwayne Johnson
All the forced push of (early) John Cena
All the moves of Shane McMahon
All the physique of Chris Jericho

>>20285084
kek well said. bro really took the worst traits of top stars, meshed them together and thought it made him the goat

>>20285084
>forced push
>literally the biggest merchandise mover of the last few years
>live event ticket sales spiked massively when he returned from injury in 2023
Treating your biggest draw like your biggest draw is not forced.

>>20284987
As much as people make fun of it, a Homelander type of gimmick would be great for him.

>>20285084
Who does he have the promos of?

>>20285100
people wanted to see cena as well but that doesnt stop his push from being obviously manufactured and gay

a stadium full of people booed him, idk why people act like it's just a couple people on twitter that dislike him

>>20285119
If people wanted to see him then it wasn't manufactured at all, it was a response to demand.

>>20285134
Vegas, a bunch of tourists that have no idea what’s going on storywise, see names like Orton and Cena and cheer for them.

The most baffling part of CAWdy is he is directly related to a fat ugly fuck who organically got over with every wrestling fan. It's like living proof that the more a company manicures and tries to direct a wrestler rather than letting him reflect the crowd (and I dont mean paypigs, I mean actual humans) the worse it's gonna go.

I was told WWE fans definitely wouldn't get bored of Cody. What happened?

I dont think its so much of making people seethe. People are just bored of him as champion. "They" really do nothing with him apart from have him say: I respect youu, I love youu, let's compare junk and my daddy likes to watch from up there while I do absolutely fuck all down here other than hold hunters belt hostage..

>>20285150
Every single push is an "astroturf" you midwit, that's what wrestling is, trying to get your characters over with the audience. Wrestling is, definitionally, almost entirely astroturfing outside of a few historical instances, what matters is if the astroturf returns your investment.
Cody instantly became the biggest draw in the company, biggest merch by far and most live event ticket sales when he returned in 2023.
You want a BAD astroturf? Roman, because he has never been a singular draw without massive support and flops when he doesn't have that support.

>>20285188
cooked that pig

>>20285150
I think because his reign as champion is kinda stale. Its just everyone that became is tagteam or ally is slowly becoming his enemies.
It kinda retarded he hasnt pointed it out and make some realization and have a character glowup / change. Theres just a feeling of stagnation with his development that bored people out.

>>20284987
His fueds just suck. I was so tired of the McIntyre feud. He basically Zerg rushed Cody until he finally won the belt indirectly.

>>20284987
I love the Codester but he’s a dud at Wrestlemania. 40 was great. The rest of it? Not really. He’s coming up in the TKO era. It’s unfortunate meddling.

>>20285119
>>20285150
>manufactured sport is manufactured
wow you're really onto something here you utter fucking pseud lmao

Cody's underrated really. He plays a traditional white meat babyface in the modern era, has to compete/compared with nostalgia of multiple eras, constant other things with the internet age, all different types of fans and markets yet he is consistently doing well.

>>20285188
1. If you manufacture a star and spread it all over branding and TV, yes it will work to a very modest extent. This is the astroturfing part. But you need someone who the audience actually likes and wants to see more of to meet them halfway. Even Cena eventually managed to overcome appearing fake and just got over naturally.

2. Leading merch sales doesn't mean anything when the product is doing so badly that the most common discussion anyone has about it is "So when are they selling to Saudi Arabia?"

3. Cody and Reigns have virtually identical pushes and roles in the company at this point, right down to one belonging to the coconut mafia and another belonging to whatever good ol' boy club included Dusty. Just nepo crap where neither are doing any serious lifting.

>>20285213
>Cody's underrated really
Yeah, cos nobody outside the bubble can rate someone they've never fucking heard of. White meat babyfaces are supposed to draw. He failed.

>>20284987
>boo the fuck out of him
>they STILL sing and WOAAAAAAAAAH his song
Not even a codyfag but this shit never fails to piss me off

>But you need someone who the audience actually likes and wants to see more of to meet them halfway.
Like being the top merchandise seller and leading live event sales to spiking massively in 2023?
>Leading merch sales doesn't mean anything when the product is doing so badly
Not Cody's fault, not any talent's fault, really.
This is the writing's fault, Cody's still their most popular guy and the diminished popularity of the brand speaks only to it's mishandling, any poor reflections on him are a natural but somewhat unfair association.
Leading merch sales still DO mean something, obviously, as they're an indicator that fans are still meeting them halfway and affirming he's the guy that most of the fanbase wants to see on top.
>Cody and Reigns have virtually identical pushes and roles in the company at this point,
Yes and Cody having been back for like, four years now, has been the most popular guy by most fan metrics for three of them, while Roman, having been pushed as a top guy for more than 10, has been the most popular guy by most fan metrics for arguably none.

>>20285150
It's not that baffling. Dusty grew up poor and ugly. He had to perfect his natural promo ability to get over in and out of the ring. Cody was born spoiled and a prick. Dusty nobody in the harshest, most ruthless era of entertainment. If you weren't good back then, you were never even sniffing the top.

Serious question, would you use these excuses for Diesel too? Because it's a very similar situation except Nash wasn't over because he was related to somebody.

Cody is a very fake corperate speak person with no soul

>>20285234
WWE Unreal ruined it. Now even the gullible marks know it’s fake so they boo the faces to be contrarian

>>20285234
it's because they're told to on the tron. so they do. when it comes to matches and promos, they boo. they're just havin fun maggle!

>>20285287
Depends, I don't know if he was actually the biggest merch seller during that period or if he was the guy it was logical to bank on.
If he was, then kind of, but he didn't return the investment like Cody did. He got the push and business went down, Cody got the push and business went up. Failed astroturf vs successful astroturf.
The brand going down as everyone shits on the overall shows and storylines and the writing taking a nosedive can't be solely attributed to him when he proved he returned the investment, met them halfway and pushed it further while Nash never did.

>>20285134
The very same stadium also cheered for him.

>>20284987
Cody unironically did the best he could with the garbage that was laid on him. I don't hate him.

>>20285445
>laid on him
It's his garbage. "laid on him". Yeah, like Trips fanboys saying TKO "laid" the bad booking on him. ANYTHING to not admit he's just trash.

He literally wrestles like a heel and constantly cheats. Idk what they expect

>>20284987
People are just jealous of America's hero.

Honestly, Cody has always sucked. He sucked in njpw(probably his best work), he fucking sucked in AEW outside of the match he wrestled on the first show against Dustin and even then he had to do weird ego shit calling back to WWE/HHH before the match, and he fucking sucks in WWE. He should go back to being stardust which also sucked, but at least he was in the proper spot on the card then. Cody is literally just a good theme song and good set-dressing with the American flag/red white and blue aesthetic.

His moveset sucks, his personality is dorky as fuck, he refuses to do anything but be this generic lame baby face even though he’s obviously a narcissistic weirdo and works better as a natural heel. He walks like he has poop in his undies. He’s a fucking dork who got lucky with the right father and right time with AEW existing to make WWE think he’d be a good get. Roman was way better and more believable.

For me?
He embodies the "Tryhard" spirit.
Someone who isn't very good, but believes that they are, and who thinks they can be great by sheer brute force alone.
He's made no efforts to improve over his career.

Rollins

>>20285100
Bloodlines was the draw.
Unlike Steve, Crow's Sting , Batista and even Bryan, you could put any wrestling fornthe fall of Bloodlines and still work, hell Cawdy doesn't made much sense.

>>20285141
You feed the goyim enough goyslop and some of them will eventually start liking it.

Cody is perfect for the TKO era because he's someone who completely manufactured his entire run. It's like an MBA who decided to wrestle. Technically, everything he does is correct, and for the first year or two it'll come off cool. You saw this in AEW as well (but you'll quickly realize that Cody straight up copied a lot of WCW angles).
Over time though, people realize how disingenuous and soulless it all is. He's legit Patrick Bateman tier psychopath. Everything always feels carefully planned with him.
