Guess Garcia made up his mind! Good to see.
Why is the show on tonight? Genuine question, I checked TNT and it’s just Marvel movies today.
Baseball playoffs I think
That’s correct, I forgot because my team was already eliminated. It’s the Yankee’s game tomorrow.

Can I get Mariah on commentary making snide remarks more often?
Who’s world is it, Jeff? lol
Christian is so empathetic. I imagine losing your pet dinosaur is way more traumatizing than a dad
I mean how many people have a dinosaur?
love having penelope back but we could have had saraya, penelope, harley, and the bunny :(
trading up el idolo for jake roberts seems like a massive w for rush
ok how you know?
but for real this interests me.
It’s Tuesday, and you know what that means!
I remember back in 2021, my friends and I were on our way to go to a dynamite broadcast. Show goes live at 8pm, doors open at 6, we’re at a small resteraunt at 5pm just down the road.
When my friends show up and sit at the table, I say real loud “IT’S WEDNESDAY NIGHT, AAAAAND YOU KNOW WHAT THAT MEEEAAANNSSS!!!” and waited for a cheering reaction, or just SOME reaction. Instead they looked at me with blank faces. Completely unclear why I yelled that, or what Wednesday night means. Finally the one friend says “I think he’s making a reference to something Tony Khan tweeted”.
Do these people not watch the show???
never make a deal with a snake
or jake roberts either, for that matter
Just ask Macho Man!
“daniel garcia joining wwe imminent? it’s more likely than you think” - eric bischoff, probably

If I can’t have a Dark Order push then I want a House of Black push!
It’s October I need spooky something!
anything: happens
moxley: guess i gotta kill ya
The Ohio way of life!
The circle of life!
Wait, no DMD?
Oops just looked it up and she’s sick. What a string of bad luck she’s been having.
Ah boo.
She has an illness and couldnt make it tonight
Had to look it up! Hopefully nothing serious!
Willow went down like an NPC in Perfect Dark on the Nintendo 64
I forgot to watch Raw
I forgot to watch Raw for the last 10+ years.
“i haven’t watched raw for 10+ years”
“well tune in now and you can see all the same people you watched on raw then!”
I dropped WWE ever since they defended the relationship with Saudi Arabia after the Khashoggi murder. Seeing their talking heads on TV news shows trying to defend that relationship just pissed me off enough to stop watching.
And honestly, I quickly figured out I was happier not watching it. It probably helped that their show was the drizzling shits. It probably also helped that it wasn’t too long after that that AEW came into being to scratch my wrestle itch way better than WWE had in decades.
I haven’t missed any WWE since (coincidentally) Cody returned a few Wrestlemanias ago. It’s a bit of an obsession
Do you want to hear the “once you see it, you can’t unsee it” thing about Cody that kind of ruins him as a babyface?
Do you want to hear the “once you see it, you can’t unsee it” thing about Cody that kind of ruins him as a babyface?
it’s the tattoo isn’t it
Everything in me is screaming no, so yes, ruin him for me
The whole basis of being a good babyface is based on relateability. Thats why Hogan in the 80s was so loved. He was just a physical embodyment of patriotism, and being so passionate to defend your country that you rip off your shirt.
Dusty Rhodes was popular because he was an everyman. He wasn’t perfect looking. He was overweight, but he still lived his dream and stood up to guys like Ric Flair, who was the embodyment of the corporate prick bully.
Steve Austin was a great babyface because everybody wanted to get drunk and punch their boss.
John Cena got cheered by kids, because they related to his childlike character development. Men boo’d him because they didn’t relate to his childlike writting, and he stopped doing the adult themed raps that got him popular.
But then there’s Cody Rhodes.
He’s a plastic surgury perfection embodyment with a perfect life, perfect wife, perfect dog, and no hardship to speak of.
He started his career in WWE.
STARTED his career in WWE. How many wrestlers can say that? How many wrestlers have to go through training, and indies with no pay, traveling towns on your own dime, losing money on a dream that statistically speaking isn’t likely to even happen, much less pay off? How many guys are 10+ years into wrestling before they’re even given a chance in developmental in a WWE system?
And here Cody is, starting day 1 in FCW, which is basically just modern day NXT without national exposure.
And why? Because his dad. He was born into this business. Never having the risk of failure. Even The Rock had a RISK of failure. Rock may have been born into wrestling, but his family never was the booker. Rocky Johnson never had the level of stroke that Dusty Rhodes had, even AFTER he was no longer the booker. It’s like walking a very thick tightrope 6 inches off the ground, while everyone else is doing it with a thin tightrope 30 stories above ground with no net.
Even if Cody fails, it’s not much of a failure. He just brushes it off, and steps 6 inches back up.
He wasn’t even fired from WWE. He voluntarily left because of creative differences. If any other wrestler leaves WWE for that, they go to TNA, and their career rots. Cody says “I WANT to go there, and I WANT to try the indies.”
Anyone else on the indies is there because they started on the bottom and are climbing up. Cody is like “I’m going to try this, and if I hate it, my dad can get me back into WWE”.
Then he helps in the creation of AEW, but again is frustrated in his spot, because he’s placed his life in the fans hands…and the fans are booing.
Rather than showing why he belongs, he instead just goes back to WWE. An option he ALWAYS had. He was NEVER in danger. His dad could talk about hard times. He can’t. His entire adult life there has been a net. A net nobody else gets to have, save for maybe Shane McMahon.
So now he’s this plastic perfect ken doll. With a perfect wife. A perfect dog. No chance of failure. And even MORE safety nets. If WWE ever pisses him off, he can go back to AEW and get a high paid contract there because of his relationship with the bucks.
There is no reason to relate to this man. He’s just a ken doll, perfect model with a perfect life.
What babyface is out there calling themself the “American Nightmare” anyway. And the way you talk about him leaving and knowing he can just come back, it’s the epitome of rich white guy America… he’s actually portraying the American Dream that we are supposed to be sold on.
I mean, “The American Nightmare” is the perfect name for a conventionally attractive nepo baby who was handed the world on a silver platter.
And let’s be honest. Cody is an extremely talented, hard-working, and charismatic man, but he is also exactly what I just called him.
Honestly, I don’t really give a shit about all that. His character is fine for what he is trying to portray. I’m not his demographic and that is perfectly ok
