Absolutely 💯 spot on. Back in the day, I knew each character almost intuitively, and they all seemed to be on the same level, with each having a 50/50 chance of becoming world champion. These days, it's stale, too predictable, and not convincing enough.

Boring routine guys like Cody Rhodes, Sami Zayn, Seth Rollins, Kevin Owens, and Jey Uso should never be pushed in the World Title picture. When I think main eventer, I think of The Rock, Roman Reigns, Bobby Lashley, Brock Lesnar, CM Punk, Drew McIntyre.

[@dbradandthem2727]

That's because you think Larger than Life when it comes to MAIN Event. I agree with you.

[@Samrothstein87]

I think once they listened to the fans & changed the storyline at Wrestlemania to Cody “finishing the story” instead of Rock v. Reigns. They used up the Cody character, which isn’t that interesting to start & now don’t know what to do with him.

[@MarmiteMangoMachine]

The best thing they could do with this is to have it not even be competitive. Have Cody straight up destroy Owens. Then KO has a valid reason to turn on him. His supposed "friend" just humiliated him in front of an international audience after being told repeatedly that he wasn't ready for a title match. From his perspective, Cody just wanted the match because it was an easy win and makes him look better than he actually is. He was chewed up and spat out under the pretense of being done a favor. But what I expect is a 30 min competitive match with a dozen false finishes followed by a handshake and a kick in the balls.

[@moondogrex4627]

Everything Cody does is boring me to death.

[@buddylee5712]

NCAA wrestling is more entertaining than Pro Wrestling 😂

[@LarryB-ms1ci]

Russo likes to ignore certain facts, like a big part of the reason people kept believing that Bruno might lose was because Kayfabe was still going strong. Because Kayfabe is gone, people now think of things in terms of the meta of the story. Imagine going to a movie and about 1 hour in, the hero and villain fight, you don’t expect the hero to win yet because there’s still 40 minutes left. If you spend almost 2 years building to a Cody title win, nobody is going to believe he’s losing the title to his first challenger, doesn’t matter who you’ve built up. Also, when talking about HBK’s heel run, he basically always had backup: Sherri, Diesel, Sid, DX. He seldom won clean as a heel. So Finn Balor beating Priest is entirely possible with the Judgment day helping. And they got the reason for the turn wrong as well. It wasn’t just because of losing his title shot, but rather when Priest won his title, he started acting like he was the leader, and they resented that. KO being reluctant to take the title shot is weird though. A simple line of “I don’t need charity” would’ve done wonders towards making it make sense. Or even something like “I appreciate the chance, but we’re friends, and if the title is on the line, I will hurt you to win. So it’s best you don’t tempt me.” Honestly, it’s why I thought Solo should’ve won at Summerslam, with Bloodline help, even to just lose it back to Cody shortly thereafter due to Roman. The win would’ve boosted Solo’s credibility. And it would’ve added a little bit of that “anything can happen” but still retaining logical storytelling.

[@theboxingboy7422]

Lets be real. Cody rhodes so far as champion just hasn't been great and thats because theres nobody built up as a heel challenger that comes across as a serious threat. CM punk-Drew feuding over at 50¢ bracelet has more heat behind any of the feuds cody has had...

[@decepticonxhunter4850]

The problem isn't really a lack of credible threats to Cody's title run. The real problem is that ppl are being fed to Cody to make his title run look good. No matter how much someone is built up to be a serious threat as a heel, we know Cody is in no real danger to lose it. He's probably not dropping it until next yr, which makes his title matches between now and then pointless.

[@GregOGrady84]

this is all so true i got back into wwe on the lead up to mania after 5/6 years all coz of the rock and the bloodline the very min rock and roman left it was back to the way it was.

Vince Russo isn't lying about how pathetic it is for Cody to hand out title shots. I don't agree with Russo on a lot, but he made an excellent point there. It's a very low point, but a lot of ppl are absolutely convinced that Cody is such a great champion for it. Just 8 months ago, AJ Styles, L.A. Knight, and Orton tore each other apart just to get a title shot at Roman. Man, what a time that was 😔

[@SSquirrel1976]

Wow the comments make even less sense than Russo. AEW uses supposed stats to determine top contender. Until they don’t. They’ve been making a point for months about people lost so back of the line. Or they need a win to get there. This isn’t rocket science people. You’re supposed to be smart here.

[@travelwithpeace1]

I love listening to Russo ranting. This is why I opened this video to begin with. On the other hand, it's beyond my understanding why this guy isn't able to accept that after decades go by that things fricken change. No, Mr Russo. The world isn't staying the same forever. Not even wrestling. Things evolve and change with years, bro. No one cares about how it was during Wrestlemonia 1 or Bruno in 1970. We are in 2024 for God's sake. Well, in the 1970s, there was no youtube for you either, bro. Get over it.
