Scott Hall being so fucking cool that people legit don't mind him portraying a latino character is kinda heartwarming. He was the first BIG latin representation in wrestling for many people (sorry, Tito), so I believe he's helped a ton of people in that regard. One of the most important wrestlers of his and any era, really.

I don't even think it's gonna be WWE fucking up big, given the circumstances. If he were to debut right after that shocking announcement and he had a fluff couple of months, it'd be on them. The stage was set, the iron was hot, people were losing their damn minds. He would receive a hero's welcome, and WWE would be fools to not make use of that momentum (yeah, I know). Now, I'm not so sure. I don't see his case being the same as Keith Lee's on the main roster, for instance. After his Survivor Series showing he should have had the rocket strapped to his ass directly to a main roster program, and even when we factor in his life-threatening health scare, they didn't use that hype, as the crowd loved him so damn much even when he was BEARCAT LEE. Cody was a midcarder in WWE and it does feel like his biggest chance of rising above that level was if he got signed as soon as his departure from AEW was announced. He might get that Cesaro-like push and be occasionally tango'ing with the big boys, but those weeks deflated him and his chances of a main event push, it seems. Would they ever have a Cody-verse in WWE? Doubt it. I cannot imagine him cutting such a jingoist promo in WWE (that role was reserved for Marine John Cena), or basically being absent for weeks after being misted by an occult leader. It's that type of weird, often pretty lame stuff that elevated his stock, much like his excellent match against Dustin. IF they lean on him basically being Homelander - something which I feel he just followed aesthetically - it could be great. A patriotic, pro-USA character being the actual villain? Please! But when he had free-reign, there was an obvious dissonance between his vision and what the crowd wanted, and WWE plays things way too safe for their own good. Pete Dunne being renamed BUTCH is so fucking funny. I mean, it's as good as a name for a badass as PETE, but it's more cartoony , like one of those comic-relief bad guys on a Saturday morning show. Dude has a flat cap on top of his man bun, it just looks fucking GOOFY.

I've seen some reports on how AEW announcing his departure from the company devalued him a bit, at least in terms of getting them dollars. Signing the EVP? Power move. But signing someone who was basically relived from his duties? Yeah, his chances of a million dollar salary drastic go down. Still, it would be a memorable moment regardless and the money would be good but it does feel like things didn't play out the way specially Cody wanted. Look at how hyped or shocked people were just some two, three weeks ago. The iron isn't that hot anymore, it seems.

Yo, we had the same dream! Or at least part of it! (Claiming to have the best hair is a great gimmick, tho!) -
I heard AJ Francis is available

One of the coolest guys to ever set foot in a wrestling ring. It is so tragic how the situation scalated, and how it happened after he started getting his life back on track. We will always have videos like this to remember why he was so likeable Top tier coolness

The one that led to Sanity vs Ten Guy/Chris Hero/Ruby Riott and one more person? I remember that being surprisingly smooth, too
