And why was there no pay off?Rock gives Cody a watch & Rock makes a vague threat.Honestly Rock’s whole comeback run felt jarring since he had zero chemistry with his own cousin & every piece of information that came out of that run was contradictory from what was shown on Unreal.
Just enjoy the show bubba
>>20779349Rock wanted to work with Cody, and wanted him to turn heel. Triple H is a petty bitch and didn't want Rock playing with his action figures, decides to made Cena heel to foil Rock's plans. Rock says "kthen," and gives Paul his way. Paul thinks he outsmarted Rock (who leaves Petty Paul to it), but Triple H forgets he has to actually make it all make sense and fucks up Cena's entire final run
>>20779349Fuck the Rock. He got his pussy all bent out of shape because fans rejected him in favor of Cody when he tried to force his way into the Roman title picture. He had to acquiesce or risk losing wrestling fans for real after Hollywood already shit him out. But he made sure he got his by randomly injecting himself into all the top creative moments to steal the attention and then disappear leaving the actual people in the angle with nothing to go off of. Did it with Cody there in picrel. Did it at the end of Bad Blood. Did it with Cena's heel turn. Glad he's fucked off and I hope he keeps it that way
>>20779380Cause all the good Cody's done since winning the WWE Championship, right? Sure glad we didn't get Rock vs. Roman for all those amazing moments. Fans totally won in the long run
>>20779380>He got his pussy all bent out of shape because fans rejected him in favor of CodyThe fans got bent out of shape, WWE got record low ratings under Cody, then begged for Rock to come back for the next Mania, you mean.
>>20779399Nah fuck that. If Rock was going to do the match with Roman it needed to happen like 5 years sooner. When Roman was still establishing himself as the Head of the Table and the Tribal Chief of the family. That's where he should have beaten the Rock. WWE bent over backwards for that motherfucker. They even laid out the red carpet that one Survivor Series for him just for Rock to no sell the entire event. The chances to do Rock and Roman were there for years and years and years. Mania 39 at the absolute latest with it being in Hollywood too. But Rock wasn't going to come back to lose to Roman. So when Mania 40 came around and they were getting ready for him to finally drop the belt look who decides he wants to show up now. Fuck that guy. The match would've sucked anyway just like every other one he's had since 2011
>>20779428>So when Mania 40 came around and they were getting ready for him to finally drop the belt look who decides he wants to show up now.Huh. This would actually check out too with Rock getting that custom belt that he had to shoehorn in and really awkwardly introduce at the HOF that had zero meaning to any actual part of the match
>>20779428See, fans like you and your fantasy booking is what ruined wrestling. "It should have happened at THIS time." No, the story was clearly Roman's ego was getting out of control. He was abusing his power, abusing his position, and claiming a title he THINKS he earned. It was going to culminate in Rock fighting Roman at Mania. This was all clearly planned out, and this is an important detail, WHILE CODY WAS IN AEW. There wasn't even supposed to be a "Cody story" because he wasn't even in the fucking company. You saying "nuh-uh. It should have happened here, cause muh-Cody" doesn't mean shit. That's why everything has going to shit since Cody won. He was never in their fucking plans, and they still can't recover. That's why they're now running back to Roman and the Bloodline.This is why WWE needs to stop listening to you fucking losers. You all asked for it, got exactly what you wanted, and it all fucking sucks
>>20779480>See, fans like you and your fantasy booking is what ruined wrestling. "It should have happened at THIS time."I'm not saying it should have happened that way because it's how I would've wanted it. If I had it my way none of this stupid ass Bloodline shit ever would have started. I'm saying it should have happened then for the sake of the story because that's where beating the Rock would have actually mattered and actually helped Roman. Once Roman was already acknowledged as the leader of the whole family and he's already been world champion for 1000 days then who the fuck cares at that point? No one else he beats adds anything to him. No match does anything for him. There is nowhere higher you can take the guy. That's the point I was making
>>20779632>I'm not saying it should have happenedThe very first post was gloating about fans rejecting the Rock for the angle. You gotta stop this schizophrenic shtick.
>>20779480killshot
>>20779349Real recognizing real
>>20779632Wasn't the original plan Rocky going over Roman? Isn't that why Rocky got the pin on Raheem? To set up Rocky winning the belt from Raheem later and circle back to the intended Roman/Rocky match.
>>20779480no lies detected
>>20779399After Cody won the world title he>led WWE into a record-breaking financial quarter as the top merch seller (while roman wasnt around whatsoever)>continued to outsell roman's merch consistently, by a strong margin, to this day>b-b-but muh coconut nigger theaterromanetty is a flop lmfao
>>20779418>WWE got record low ratings under Codydon't look up what raw's doing right now under roman
>>20779646>The very first post was gloating about fans rejecting the Rock for the angle.Because that happened? I didn't make that up. I don't even care for Cody either. But the fans shut down the Rock's attempt at sliding into his feud with Roman for Mania. If citing historical facts is schizo then I must be crazy>>20779678>Wasn't the original plan Rocky going over Roman?Not sure what the original plan would have actually entailed or any extended creative beyond that. I would imagine considering the belt he had made and how late into the game the Rock showed up for the Bloodline stuff that the Rock was lined up to take the belt off Roman at WM40 though had the crowd gone for it
>>20779690>don't look up what raw's doing right now under romanI'd have to look down.
>>20779399Cody is literally the best star this company's had since Cena. Go fuck yourself smark-cum-slurper.
>>20779480oh shit. wake that up
>>20779480The Rock fucking sucks and is gay as hell. He needs to be gone and stay the fuck gone.
>>20779480Wow that all sounds terrible and fucking garbage, thank got they put it in codemeister and drew some dimes because that shit sounds TRASH
>>20779480Sounds like a failure on their part creatively>That's why they're now running back to Roman and the Bloodline.And he's still selling less merch than Cody kekJust get over it lil jeet bro, your boy romanetty got out-drawn by Cody
>>20779884Cody is wrestling Jesus. He's Hogan in the 80s, Austin in the late 90s and Cena in the 00s. Roman can agree to be a #2, which is a major jump from his position in 2019.
>>20779349>And why was there no pay off?heart problems
>>20779380This rewriting of history again. The Rock and Roman were literally telling everyone they were gonna do this and it was very well received, cut to the Royal Rumble and Cody wins and then Paul told him to point towards Roman in the crowd to set up this feud and title run despite Dywane and Roman already setting their bout up. The following night Dywane does the infamous skit of Cody relinquishing his shot and instead go for the lesser WWE title and Paul knew this would bomb in his face and let it happen. Triple H sabotaged it.
>>20779368They had no one ready to replace Cody, besides it was only a year later off of his great crowning as FOTC.
>>20779688>>20779835This
>>20780477got any receipts for that claim? Roman is a shitter but it feels like Cody killed WWE.the boom period and record attendance was thanks to The Final Boss (yes, even when he was away, the crowd bought tickets hoping to see Rocky appear.
>>20780559Biggest merch seller from 2023 onward is Cody, Roman has rarely entered top 3 and is just out of it now, Cody was the one driving live event business, setting meet and greet/gate recordsCody didn't kill the business Paul's utter mishandling of it did, you can point to Cody's poor ratings on Smackdown and how Roman kept them stable but that's in absence of the context that when Roman was there he had the brand's only world title before the WHC's introduction, it was presented as the A-Show with the must-watch storylines. Cody gets put on Smackdown and it's pretty much instantly the B-Show as Raw on Netflix takes precedence.The real up tick of business for WWE was early 2023 which is when Cody came back and won the Rumble
>>20780559No one wants to see Rocky appear anywhere. Not in Hollywood, not in wrestling. They've made it abundantly clear with the Black Adam failure.
>>20779349Because Rock was making it up as he went along
Pauletty can't book
>>20781073I don't know how he still gets roles his Oscar Bait fighter thing flopped and it looks moana live act will be less successful then planned
Nobody has chemistry with Romannetty
BE A FAN
>>20781135Wrong
>>20781493Cody do
>no it should be stardust>no it should be leakeeRock knows these two jabronis will never draw an actual dime no matter how he puts them over. He just wanted one last shot at getting himself over in wrestling because of Black Adam's massive failure. When Triple Nose started putting his Triple Nose in Rock's business (cody RR win), Rock was like fuck it I'm out
>>20779349cawdy and dwayne linked up at the moana premier
>>20779349Hollywood Rock was trying to get Cody to sell his soul to the Jews to solidify his place as the ACE of WWE.
>>20779480Based and correct. Cody fucking sucks and dick riding him killed WWE's little boom period they had.
Can people enjoy the show for once? Not everything has to be a super secret storyline. Rock was there so he came out and entertained the crowd.
Cody will never be the guy. He's not got the aura of a genuine superstar like Hogan, Rock, Austin, Cena.. He's just Cody Rhodes. Less talent than his brother, less charisma than Roman, Oba, Knight, etc. He gets found out pretty quickly everywhere he goes.
>>20783088He probably could be if he let loose and accepted that he is supposed to be a dickhead but he wants to be beloved for some reason
>>20782997Look at the Rock's tense face and the spark in Cody's eye. If you know a bit about people, you just know. Rock is pissed to see him. Cody knows it and that's why he's giving his real smile, just a passive aggressive "you won't get rid of me" attitude. So much said in one pic just by their faces and their posture.
>>20779480> record profits while Cody was top dogLmao quit bitching and learn what’s best for business ya pencil neck
>>20783271don't work yourself into a shoot, mark
>>20779380That's why they instantly started cheering the rock when he turned heel and gave a fuck all for Cody What's cody doing for the company now you bitch tits having fat pig? He already has go away heat and record low ratings. Hes a dead in the water as one of your turds after all that doritto and pizza roll filled giant shit gets pushed out of your asshole faggot.
>>20781493Does Solo? I wasnt watching when they were together
>>20779349Rock wanted Cody to go heel so Ronan could squash him and get a massive multi year resi of his reign of terror and beat Bruno's record
>from what was shown on Unreal.
All WWE does is play the "is the rock gonna show up?" game with their world titles. It's so old and boring.
>>20784239lol this is gonna sound crazy if you weren't watching but solo was being treated like a silent badass back then. he stood there trying to look tough. meanwhile in the storyline it was implied he was stronger than roman and was gonna be the next tribal chief. shit is bizarre in hindsight
It's so sad how you can pinpoint this as the moment the wheels went off the rails on the entire product. Looking back it would have made so much more sense for Cody to accept Rock's offer and kick Cena in the balls. Cena's whole last run could have been him chasing Cody's belt to save wrestling. What a shame.
The only time WWE was interesting in the last 5 years is the Bloodline and The Rock's Final Boss gimmick. If you deny this then you are a fucking mark.
