All Elite Wrestling

Let's be real, it must be pretty bittersweet for him. I don't think after all this he visualized himself leaving the company he helped build to go back to Vince, 6 years after he left.

Cody left WWE, wrestled the top indy talent just to have mid matches, formed his own wrestling company and now is bouncing back to the Fed. Amazing story.

Cody and Brandi were pretty great in Impact, Moose's problematic ass aside.

Let's go Buddy Omega!

 

[sek69]

I'm sure jokes will be made, but he was pretty good in his post WWE indy run and at the very least would be a good opponent for folks in AEW. 

[SirEdger]

I could easily see Buddy challenging Sammy Guevara for the TNT title sooner rather than later

[El-P]

Okada had a great match (I know, shocking) with him just after he left WWE. I dunno, he seems to be really good but at the same time, there are several guys like him already in AEW aka really excellent mechanically but not earth-shattering in term of charisma (Neese, Lethal).

[Timbo Slice]

Yeah, but also, the Spider-Man meme.

 Brandi may not go to WWE after all, but we'll see.

Y'know, now that you mention it, with all the talent that Cody has worked against, it really says a lot about Dustin Rhodes that they had such a good match together. A lot of the other Cody matches, even before AEW when he was on that Indy tour like you mentioned, I remember being really underwhelmed by. 

[MoS]

@Loss can we separate the Cody stuff into its own thread? Coffey was right about it warranting its own discussion.

Apparently TK didn't opt to use Cody's option too

[Loss]

Part of me wants to make you all suffer from the consequences of not starting threads when topics deserve them.

But yes, I can split it off. Let this be a lesson!

[Loss]

Ok,  it's going to take me about 30 minutes, so I can't do it right now. Basically, I have to go through each page of the thread, make the posts about Cody on each page its own thread, creating multiple threads about Cody and then combining them all into the already created all things Cody thread on the back end.

I think for now, everything just needs to be here. In the future, start threads.

Dragon working shop for the name of his stable...Danielson Dojo?

 

[Boss Rock]

That works.

[Timbo Slice]

The Lucha Bros/Young Bucks All Out cage tag winning WON MOTY when it was like the fourth best match on the show is hilarious. 

[El-P]

Off the top of my head, it absolutely would be my 2021 MOTY too. Maybe some Takagi match would take it upon further reviews, but I'm not sure about that. Yeah, seems about right.

Big Swole on Tony Khan's recent criticism:

"Dude, you weren’t saying all that when you was smoking my weed... It’s heartbreaking. Really it is because I thought we were friends. But damn."

https://www.wrestlinginc.com/news/2022/02/big-swole-says-tony-khan-used-to-smoke-her-weed/

Not sure how this helps Swole end up in WWE, back in AEW, or wherever she wants to go next.

 

[sek69]

I suppose this is the downside of a friendlier working environment, the boss may be a nice guy and your pal but at the end of the day he's still the boss and has to do boss shit. 

Like yeah, Tony should have handled his response on Twitter better,  but it seems like the people who were blowing her up saying her matches were good did her no favors either. 

[NintendoLogic]

I've seen it suggested that Tony would benefit from a Johnny Ace/Motoko Baba type who could play bad cop when need be.

[SteveJRogers]

BTW, what’s the best site for past AEW result, including Dynamites, and Ramages,  aggregations?

Looks like the official website stopped keeping them up past 6 months.

Absolutely, if you never hear bad news directly from the boss then you're far less likely to go on rants that said boss is a racist pothead.

She's a Cancer too. Well, apparently she is.

Cagematch.net would be my best recommendation for all results.

Listening to Kenny's interview that just dropped and he mentioned how it's going to take longer to return than he hoped because of Covid-related delays in his appointments/surgeries. It seems like the hernia and knee operations got delayed.
