NintendoLogic Posted February 6, 2023 Report Share Posted February 6, 2023 What piles of money are they turning down? If we're looking at non-guaranteed revenue, Sami in the main event of Mania won't result in a single additional ticket sold. And Cody is the one whose merch is flying off the shelves. Speaking of merch movers, it has come to light that Bray worked the Mountain Dew match with a broken finger he had sustained at a house show in December, which is probably why it was as short as it was. Truth be told, that was probably a blessing in disguise since it almost certainly would have been even worse had it gone longer. In completely unrelated news: This guy's best friends with everybody, isn't he? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KawadaSmile Posted February 6, 2023 Author Report Share Posted February 6, 2023 He is everywhere but in a wrestling ring. He is gone. Also, Bray hurting his hand after dragging this fucking awful angle for like FOUR MONTHS kinda makes him a top tier bag getter. He is carnying the shit out of this run more than any other thing in his career. Him and Saraya are the Carny HOF inductees of 2023. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
El-P Posted February 6, 2023 Report Share Posted February 6, 2023 Well... From a mainstream POV, *nothing* equals the Rock being at Mania. But really, the hilarious part is when he mentions "one story is about finishing something that started in 1978". HOLY SHIT how much BULLSHIT can you feed your audience ? That's what is annoying as hell. The totally made-up story of Dusty Rhodes never winning the WWE title and how it's an actual story that somehow happened. For fuck's sake. Story dating back to 2016, when Cody left, sure, that's the one to tell, but trying to make-up a fake-ass storyline dating back to his father is exactly why in the grand scheme of things, the Cody stuff is carny bullshit meets WWE revisionism (since Dusty "never winning" the WWE title means it's what mattered to him, sure, SURE) as opposed to the actual hot storyline, which was Sami finally facing Roman Reigns at Mania. I wonder after all if at one point (not at or before Mania obviously), the audience won't turn against him anyway because he just can't help himself.

sek69 Posted February 6, 2023 Report Share Posted February 6, 2023 Not to mention Cody's already won the title his dad did (the NWA belt), but I guess it makes sense now that Dusty has been retconned into a beloved figure who was grandpa to the OG NXT crew instead of the bad guy who was booking the company that was taking food off the McMahon family table.
