There needs to be a round table of The Rock, Cody, Roman and Seth yeeeears down the line talking about WM40 and the build up and whatever they do next. Just a behind the scenes chat, would be amazing

[@vickicarver56]

Add Paul Heyman in that round table talk Roman should get a lot of respect because it was his title for ovef1365 days do you honestly think he was happy to lose his title that he had and made it to what it was

[@hotcoldman77]

@@vickicarver56 Roman was definitely happy to drop the strap. Dropping it to Cody was good business which I believe he understands. Maybe only dropping to Jey would have been better for him personally but he's done alot for Jey's rise in the last 4 years. So it's a win win all through

Great interview Busted Open

[@prestonpfeiffer]

I can respect that Cody is a Traditional Babyface versus a “Cool Heel”. Its a throwback to Hulkamania and Sting and that tried & true Babyface that really died with Stone Cold’s rise. Its a reason a lot of guys cant get over as either now and just have to be in the grey

[@JokerG16]

I mean honestly the Austin type of baby face is what ppl tend to like. It's a fan favorite who can also show some intensity. Cody doesn't show any intensity

[@tyyrreekk9005]

@@JokerG16 Yeah the Austin model is the best it's a reason he was the biggest draw and the only time he got booed was when he went full heel in 2001 and even that was 50/50 that Hogan model is what Vince liked but the anti hero connects more with the people the every man figure it comes off more real Cody comes off as a heel to me who's trying to act like a good guy and the way he panders it doesn't seem genuine it's almost like he's working the people.

[@JokerG16]

@@tyyrreekk9005 yeah he was really only booed in 01 when he was aligned with HHH and Vince…which i think the boos were mainly for them more so him since they were heat magnets and genuinely hated. but yeah the Hogan baby face model was good during that time when corny, goodie 2 shoe faces were acceptable, but it’s not really worked since then. they tried it with Rock, that failed. they basically forced Cena on us which didn’t work either, and then they tried it with Roman which failed too. It’s no longer cool to be smiling and kissing babies anymore 🤣 why don’t they get that? i also heard Cody saying he’ll never turn heel again or something?

[@tyyrreekk9005]

@@JokerG16 Idk why because even Hogan had to go heel when he was getting stale and booed and it made him better being a heel gives your character more life and personality so when you do become babyface it's bigger than ever it's what made Austin , Rock even Cena before Vince turned him into Hogan now image what Roman babyface run will look like and he would probably be an anti hero.

[@JokerG16]

The Rock returned Cody's watch that he gave everyone after WrestleMania. Confirmed by what he said ✅

[@mrseaofweeds9946]

So the Rock was being a prick?

[@tqueen7131]

​@mrseaofweeds9946 No why would he want it? The guy literally attempted to sabatoge him. Sometimes, I feel like I'm talking with kids. There is literal plenty of footage dating to September of last year of this being Rock vs Roman. I mean, he knew 100% it wasn't his match but pointed at Roman to make the audience think it was. He then put on a sad face going against the script, this was con fjrmed by a writer even. This made fans believe The Rock was abusing power and sabaotging him despite this match being teased since last September on Pats show. WM Is booked long ahead and Rock took time off for it all even. His daughter recieved death threats because Cody lied to the audience in an attempt to sabatoge and bury The Rock for the match. Why would the Rock want a gift from him? Open your eyes cause that type of behavior is shady for real

[@celestialchill5892]

​@@tqueen7131but why would they have Cody win the Royal Rumble if the plan was to have the Rock versus Roman at Wrestlemania? Does that make any sense to you? Even if they were planning on Rock vs. Roman a year prior, they could've done that at any time, no title on the line (since The Rock was going to vacate it anyway since he would be off doing a movie) and done it at SummerSlam or a later event. Make your logic make some sense because your math isn't mathing.

I agree with Mark Henry - people always say that so and so "just" got "lucky". But in order to be lucky, in most cases, you first need to put yourself in a position to get lucky. And that takes work. For example, you can't get a lucky punch on an MMA champion if you don't make weight first amongst other things like joining a local gym, signing up for an amatuer fight, etc.

30:12 like triple H said "it aint fun and games for these guys" which is why the rock gave back the gift. Brock lesnar once said "dwayne taught me to be selfish if you want to succeed in this business" which is why lesnar respects the rock for that cos brock had to find out for himself how the business works just like how the rock did. The rock had a tough time coming through like mark henry stated in past interviews cos everybody was looking out for number one. Cody and this new era in the locker room didnt experience that. So giving the gift back wasnt a disrespect it was to show cody that you cant be soft in this game.

[@tqueen7131]

Hmm it's actually because who wants a gift from someone who literally tried to sabatoge you and who's fans sent death threats to their daughter of their lies? Let's he real here. Cody knew it wasn't his match it had been teased Rock vs Roman since September last year on Pats show. Cody admits before Rumble he was told even but he pointed at Roman to make the audience believe it was. Then he was written a script to fix it and as confirmed by a writer he put on a sad face when he was not supposed to. This was to again sabatoge and make the audience think The Rock stole the match from him when it was never his. Would you want a gift from someone who did that to you? Highly doubtful and still The Rock pivoted and gave him the story and helped put him over because he's an honorable person and The Peoples Champion. Still Cody was trying to actively sabatoge even in this video.

[@Jeff_Pryce]

@@tqueen7131 😂 Stop. Just stop. Nobody’s buying the BS you’re selling. Rock tried a power play, and it backfired. He will still have plenty of opportunity to have his little dream match with Roman, and with a better story. If he had done it now, it would not have been very good as opposed to building the story for a year like it’s supposed to. This Wrestlemania was one of the best ever because of Cody’s story. This was his time, and he took his shot with the fans’ blessing and support.

[@tqueen7131]

@johnnysupreme5718 If that old backstabbing mentality that Triple H has been accused of by many is gone then why did Cody know it wasn't his match but attempt to make fans believe so and sabatoge someone? Why did he point at the sign and then Romanknowing it was not his match? Why did he go on Raw and tell the audience next week they will see what happened with his sad pouty face to set it up even more? Why did he go against the script he was given and put a sad face on instead of being a man and saying "hey I know you been booked for this match but I would like to somehow participate?" Cause that's what an honorable man does. They don't walk out and set up a sabatoge to make the audience think someone abused real power and stole something they didn't. That's the exact same thing many people from announcers to ex wrestlers (Henry himself has spoken on I believe) have said Paul L used to do to wrestlers is attempt to sabatage and bury. Looks like the same Vince and Paul L mentality it always was.

[@rashidadams8327]

If Cody knew he was supposed to face Seth at WM, why did he point to Roman at the end of the Royal Rumble? Did he go rogue? 🤔

[@tqueen7131]

Unfortunately this isn't the right channel for real questions. We all know he sabatoged the Rock vs Roman match advertised since last Septmeber on Pats show even but here they will pretend he's great and won't call him out for what hundreds of thousands are right now. The main guy is his biggest Stan and the followers of this channel are mostly blind Cody supporters not aware of the evidence or pretending he didn't attempt to make the audience believe the match was his when it wasn't.

[@simbongilemathenjwa6593]

Exactly my question?

[@sparknazo]

The original plan was Roman vs Cody and Punk vs Rollins but when Rock came back they was going to have Cody get injured and miss wrestlemania but when Punk got injured they turnt into Cody vs Seth again for the title since Seth needed a opponent backlash from fans change this and Cody got his original match while Drew got a title match when Drew was supposed to fight Priest so Drew really change shit around

[@coreyc4978]

The number one best thing Cody does for me is make me believe he's real. This is Cody Rhodes and he's brilliant.

[@MuayThaiGuy1202]

The whole Cody/Roman/Rock thing was a complete mess So according to Punk himself on the MMA Hour, he said that Cody was always gonna win the rumble. Whereas Punk will go after Seth for the WHC, then Drew will probably get involved to make that a triple threat match. Now Cody said it was a possibility, so WWE weren’t sure on what to do. But if they actually went with Rock vs Roman, Cody might’ve not made it to Mania, even after winning the Rumble. I’ve seen things about Cody going off script and when he pointed at Roman. That sounds so stupid because why would the cameras already be looking at Roman, and there was a cameraman next to Roman. The whole thing was a complete mess and thx goodness they pivoted because it worked well for everyone.

[@sparknazo]

Overall this was the intended idea Cody was going to win the Rumble but get injured in angle before Wrestlemania which gives Rock an excuse to fight Roman at Wrestlemania Roman was going to win and then Cody was going to come back and beat Roman using his Rumble privilege he didn't get to use since he was taken out Punk and Rollins was the plan but Punk getting injured made Rollins not have a wrestlemania opponent Drew was orginally going to fight Priest in a normal match so Cody and Rollins 4 was the plan obviously due to overall negative feedback Cody was given his opportunity back and Rollins who was promised a wrestlemania main event was injected into the bloodline feud and Rock as well needed something to do now. Drew wrestlemania match was changed as well to fight Rollins since Drew was tease but wwe was really unsure of it until elimination chamber times

[@LethalLegend201]

It hits different when you have a Champion that is a huge baby face, good mic skills, and can actually Westle. Alot of the big champs all have a few moves and can barely Westle So it refreshing seeing Cody as champ. It feels legit

Cena Drove away so many wrestling fans, I don’t know why people pretend like he didn’t take Wrestling steps back

[@YeTism]

Adults hated him but kids loved him. I think Vince booking had a lot to do with that.

[@Jeff_Pryce]

He really did. Especially when he became “Super Cena”. That whole act was cringe. But he went away, we had to suffer the decade-long Roman push and fans decided he wasn’t so bad after all. 😂

[@dougschadel8094]

If Cody loses the title whenever that happens is he going heel after that ?

[@frankielasvegas5756]

He could turn with the belt still on him. All needs for the title to get in his head and starts getting more and more arrogant. Once he's had a couple of title defenses he can absolutely turn heel while champion.
