It never could have survived. WCW lacked one thing that WWE, AEW and even TNA have, someone at the top in charge of everything. Wrestling seems to only really work when there's a "the buck stops here" person at the top who has their hand in hiring, creative, production, and business dealings. Eric would have become that guy for WCW after the sale if he had bought it the way he planned to, but as part of Turner, he wasn't that guy. WCW had their power structure spread out to multiple people in multiple roles between both WCW and Turner. WWE today is kind of getting that way because it's grown to big for Vince to oversee everything and it's lead to the left hand not knowing what the right hand is doing all the time.

Out of all the EVP’s, Cody feels like the wrestler most likely that’s gonna end up being the one who becomes so insufferable that even Tony won’t be able to deal with him any longer and he’s going to end up leaving.

He may be using wrestling as a way to get into his next career (smart move honestly) but he certainly doesn't make a mockery of actual pro wrestling the way the Young Bucks do.

When Cody cuts the first heel-turning promo, he can use the line, “I wasn’t fed with a silver spoon… I was fed with a F*CKING GOLDEN SHOVEL.” From that point on, Cody uses the shovel as his weapon of choice, much like HHH with the sledgehammer or Jeff Jarrett with the guitar.

The flaming table bump was unnecessary and unsafe.

[@owl509]

I love AEW, probably more than most people from the Cornette comment sections, but holy hell Cody needs to lay off the shots at the WWE - more specifically Triple H. AEW has been an official company for over two years now and they STILL talk about the other promotion on a nearly weekly basis. Not to mention Triple H is legitimately hurt after the surgery and heart condition, yet Cody feels the need to constantly try and stress him out. It is beyond childish what Cody has been doing and its just one reason why a lot of people can't take these guys seriously.

[@johnnation5111]

I'm a huge AEW mark and I can't stand it! When he first destroyed the throne I kinda liked it, it was symbolic of a lot of things. But I remember hoping they would just leave it at that. By the time we got to the Brass Ring match I was like "Oh fuck off!" At this point it's starting to look like TNA in 2007.

[@johnnation5111]

Also if you don't like Triple H that's fine, but the man is going through hell right now. Considering how morale they claim to be, it's really class-less.

[@owl509]

@@johnnation5111 facts, I'm glad another AEW fan has a working braincell. I'm happy for AEW's success, but they don't always act as great as they think they are. A few shots here and there would've been great, but on an almost weekly basis it got stale fast and I just roll my eyes whenever it happens nowadays.

[@TAFKASYFY]

Exactly, people keep saying how badass it looked but that doesn’t excuse that it looked stupid because they didn’t do it right and now you can’t do that shit again.. whatever, it such a ridiculous spot and the match and feud didn’t even call for something so extreme.. something like this should have been done at the end of a blood feud between like Darby and MJF and even then it’s such a “mud show” type of stunt that can look pretty bad if you don’t pull it off in a seamless way, like this.

[@speranza9415]

@@TAFKASYFY It's the quantity that matters man, no need of quality or even a logical reason for those spots. Sloppy executions, no compromise with putting some credibility in it while when Foley, Hardy, Edge were already legends would do high spots with perfect execution. I'd argue about it happening in Darby vs. MJF also because none of them have that hardcore DNA like Foley, it'd only be for the pop too. Also I never realised that the material those tables were made would melt if set of fire and it'd glue on you if you touched. That can leave permanent scars on Cody. 🤦🏻‍

When someone as respected as Arn Anderson has a accident like that you pick him up. I’m sorry we were not supposed to see him help him up but he did the right thing. Arn obviously has some kind of disability and I respect the guy for reacting fast and reaching down to help him up. I was concerned when I seen him fall. Come on Jim you’re better then that. You know he did the right thing.

[@JohnGauntSega32]

Yeah, checking on Arn after an unplanned fall is the first priority. Helping him up does verify that he is OK enough to get back onto the ramp. Jumping down and checking on him while throwing punches or mounting him may have worked (and looked like it was a planned move) but may have confused things further.

[@juliandavidhoffer2022]

Jim is a professional.

[@wesleymorris2699]

Arn suffers from nerve damage from his broken neck injury back in 97 that ended his career. He has paralysis on the left side of his body which causes him to be unsteady on his feet. Remember the time last month when he fell off the corner of the ring?

I got downvoted to all hell on the squaredcircle subreddit for saying the flaming table spot made no sense and someone legitimately tried telling me that the reason Andrade took the pin in kayfabe was that he was “ridiculously exhausted from the thought of potentially being set on fire”.

Andrade isn’t bad, he’s a really great wrestler with convincing offense but he was definitely overhyped before he debuted and ended being kind of lackluster and a big reason I think is because they haven’t found a good way to promo with him, the 3 managers he’s had as spokesperson just didn’t really help and his moments were he cuts a promo in half broken English just haven’t meshed well either, idk I think they should just showcase him more maybe beating a bunch of people lower on the card to try and get him over with great matches or something

Andrade is actually a good wrestler when he gets to have wrestling matches, not an overbooked joke match on a boring throwaway feud like this.
