The Roman documentary showed exactly why he deserved to be champ for so long. Cody fans don't want to hear it, but Cody's story is all hype and no substance. Once he does win you can set the countdown to when the fans turn on him. Also Rock didn't interrupt Cody's story, Cody interrupted Roman's story which was always about beating Rock at Mania.
@apexsmokepackerLol that's on WWE for not giving Lashley another title match. Randy isn't beating Roman and like you said, Edge didn't want the title. All those guys aren't being built up as the face of the company. Cody is 🤷♂️
The fact that the main feud has been so easily and quickly switched basically Cody vs Rock just shows that prior, there was no story to "finish" with cody. All the hype and talk about mania has been about THE ROCK, NOT CODY. Rock is whats been selling this show, NOT Cody. All the media buzz is about the Rock. This nonsense that cody is over and not forced has nothing to stand on now. Even back in 2014 despite how "over" Bryan was being exaggerated, at least he didn't lose the spotlight to Batista or even triple h but cody has been so easily overshadowed by the rock.
It feels like Cody vs Rock because Roman is boring and they had to bring Rock into the picture just to make him interesting. Rock is the promo cutter, Rock is the one people actually want to see. Not Roman.
@@terrancehall9762 I really wish that were the case. Funnily enough, it is said creative didn’t want Cody winning last year in order for Roman to break records. Well, just a few months more and Roman would break Hogans record. Will they do it? 🤷🏻

Cody feels like a scrub compared to The Rock, yet somehow we’re supposed to believe he’s the face of the company? lol. There’s nothing compelling about this “finish the story” crap because there’s nothing compelling about Cody, and the sooner his 20 year old stans understand this, the better off they will be. Roman’s THAT dude, period.
It’s amazing to realize that Roman and the Bloodline was the best think the WWE had going and then The Rock comes along and shows people what greatness really is. He puts Roman and Cody to shame.
Cody is really a mid-carder with probably the only reason why he seems like a main eventer is because of his catchy theme song & the WHOOOOOAAAHHH thingy
The Final Boss...The Rock...The Great One...should walk out of WrestleMania XL as ur new WWE Undisputed Universal Champion. I don't know how it happens, but wwe should find a creative way to book it. The people's champion deserves it. He will finally be the final boss who controls everything atleast in kayfabe. Cody vs Rock at summersalm. Roman screws the Rock , Cody wins. Roman vs The Rock at WM 41
I been saying f**k his story since he came back. He’s been practically begging for the belt since he came back with the documentary talking about how he felt dad was abandoning him by giving all the attention to the nxt guys they called “Dusty Kids” He basically want WWE to give him the WWE champion because he feels entitled to it because his dad help develop most of the current roster! And he disguise the fact he wanted the belt and main spot for his dad it’s not for his dad it’s for him! He’s so fake. He’s using his dad name to get to the top!
Goddamn bro.. this video was excellent, I really needed to hear this with all the changes and drama going on in my personal life. Every wrestling fan needs to hear this
The booking over the last few weeks makes it seem that the WM main event is between Rock and Cody. Also, the last few weeks have shown how overrated Cody Rhodes is. He is nowhere near the Rock’s level. Rock’s promos have been far better than Cody.
0:54 well here goes nothing........Dusty never won the WWE title and his son made a promise to the fans over a year ago now that he WOULD win that title and raise it up above his head the way his father never got too.
Exactly that simple. Also its creative writing the fact of the matter is you can write whatever you want and theres NOTHING saying that you ABSOLUTELY MUST make wrestling stories imitate life. Also, I'm sure some people find Cody's story relatable in some sort of way so i think it does its job perfectly fine.
@@primetimecollectiveIf it was so simple, they should’ve had him win last year if that was the case. They’re milking this “finish the story” shit for no reason. Nobody during Roman’s historic reign have ever got to finish their story lol. What’s so special about Cody?
@@ojay4923I’m sure there are people that have similarities but for the majority, people don’t get to live out their dreams to the fullest let alone get handed big opportunities multiple times like Cody Rhodes. Once you screw up, you rarely ever get a second chance to make up for your mistake. That’s just how life is if you make it like that
You all are losing your minds and crying and bitching because Roman is about to lose a belt that he’s held over three fucking years plus he’s hardly ever seen on TV, or better yet even defending the championship without cheating. The shit is getting old! It’s time for someone else to win and that’s Cody Rhodes! Even if we got The Rock vs Roman Reigns, they were going to put Roman over anyways. They can do the Rock vs Roman Reigns without a title!
you could see it coming from a mile away, at least they let cody get color and the rock say fuck on live tv, the fans will be apathetic again in the coming months after he wins the belt
bro Daniel Bryan was so over by WM30 tho. like if he didn’t win the gold there would’ve been a riot outside of that building. but Cody is incredibly boring and it seems like fans are split on whether or not he should win, which means he’s not really that over and the machine is forcing him on us.
The only way you could say it’s forced is if people were rebelling against Cody. And they have been solidly behind him. Yes with Cody pulled back in 2016 with Jeff was wrong. There’s no way around it. He was completely full of it and we all know it. That doesn’t change the fact that today in 2024 he’s the hottest baby face that they have, and they easily could’ve given up on him Like they did so many other baby faces that got jobbed out to Roman but they didn’t. There’s a message there. And sometimes you have to look outside of your own understanding and recognize that it’s time. They should’ve just did it last year and we would be past it.
@@darthdesidus4361You smarks are pathetic. The dude is getting outdrawn in segments by divas. He's not a fucking draw!! When will smarks wake up to this fact? You're forcing his push because it was originally supposed to be Rock vs Roman and you can't accept that reality.
I just want to see the FANTASTIC title reign of Cody’s that will justify him being the guy to beat Roman. I also can’t wait for people to jump through hoops, Meltzer-style, trying to pretend that his world title reign is everything they hoped for.
@@airfrance4365 Exactly, like he can't just win the undisputed championship, even though he has the undisputed tag team championships with finn bálor.
The two sporting events that came close are the '88 and '89 Pistons, where they lost a game 7 in LA in 1988 and came back and swept LA in LA in 1989. The 1997 Red Wings lost to the Colorado Avalanche in the 1996 Western Conference finals and the following year had their classic fight and then knocking the Avalanche out in 6 games in the conference finals.
The ridiculous irony amongst many things about cawdys "story" is dusty was never a wwf guy, he was always a nwa guy And guess what younglings he was a nwa champion So the basic premise of cawdys story makes no sense lol "But he wanted to be the first one to win the belt in his family," in the words of jack perry, "go cry me a river" There have been legends in this business that never came close to sniffing a world title like roddy piper, I'm supposed to believe cawdy is more deserving than roddy piper? Get tf outta here lol
Loss and recovery. Kind of like what happened last year and he has spent the last year recovering. What you want him to lose again? Lmao God Jeff, you really REALLY just can’t let go of the fact that he was completely completely full of shit back in 2016 when he said what he said to you on Twitter. You have to let this go, bro. Roman has no one else to work with. He has blown through the entire roster. It is time.
@@JimBob-cu1qf that’s fine but to sit here and say that he should lose a second year in a row of Roman when Roman doesn’t have anyone else to work with is silly. His match with the rock doesn’t need the title same with punk if anything him having the title hurts those matches because everyone knows the outcome. You’re not going to do him versus Gunther because they are both bad guys. So he has no one else to work with.
Cody wouldn’t have a “story” if it weren’t for the Bloodlines existence. It’s no coincidence he hightailed back to WWE as Reigns was becoming the ultimate heel. He knew he was never going to be the Babyface he saw himself as in AEW. Entitled goofball.
Those AEW fans slapped reality into him and he hightailed it the night they threw the belt back at him. I almost want him to lose again and have Aleister Black laugh in his face since he was partially the trigger into Cody leaving his wrestling boots in the ring
I would argue that yeah life ain’t fair but in an escape like wrestling, I def wanna see SOMEBODY finish their story Not a big Cody guy but I’ve been entertained 🤷🏽♂️
They need to get the belt off of Roman like yesterday. His reign has been the drizzling shits since last year. Dude gets outshined by his cousin and everyone he's feuded with since his feud with Jey last year and his matches are basically the Jeff Jarrett special (stalling forever, ref bump, interference, etc) and you want it to continue because of some dork beef you have with Cody. Cody should win not to "finish his story" sake....but because they have built no one else up and its time to move from this bullshit lame reign of terror that you aren't even watching bruh
@apexsmokepackerThey need someone NOW. Not 6 monthes from now, not next WrestleMania, but NOW. They should of pushed someone else younger, but they didn't. They got Cody who has been about as over as anyone full time in WWE could get and has been for 3 years to the point their own fanbase rejected whatever shit they were throwing at them with Rock vs Roman so I don't know what to tell you. I can tell you Roman's title reign has been hot garbage for nearly a year and it time to move on from it and if Cody is there to do it so be it....
@apexsmokepackerI’m so tired of ppl always saying put a young guy over to defeat a dominant champion. Man Cody is 38 bruh fans act like these wrestlers don’t be wrestling consistently in their 40s. You have likely over a half decade until Cody reaches just part time status
@@jaylinc2062 HBK was full time and retired at 42, Undertaker only went part time when he was 45, Orton is still full time at 44, Edge is 50 and still full time, Hulk Hogan was late 40s to early 50 in his 2nd run with WWE, Ric Flair had his “retirement” in 2008 when he was 59! Do I need to keep the list going? LA Knight is 41 still full time. AJ Styles 46 still full time. Kane hung it up in his 50s. Stop acting like once these dudes hit mid 30s the end is near lmao yall should know better than this
@apexsmokepacker Never said he was young talent but he ain’t old either. it’s okay to admit if you don’t know how many wrestlers you watched still were full time in their 40s and 50s
Cawdy rhodes and his crybaby marks have ruined what could have been a historic anniversary show, instead wm 40 will go down as the most boring and meaningless wm of all time
Cody is getting the same push Roman did in 2015. But because there's the bs story of finish the story. Wtf even is the story any more?? He's already won the Rumble twice and do.... What?nobody can tell you what the m fucking story is that he needs to finish
Just wait until next year and we all can see the hype of a real main event. What will people say then when that match outdraws and gains more fan interest than this one by leaps and bounds ?
fr lmao. and it’s not even just about the length of his reign. his reign has just become completely ass since summerslam now. I’m not a super Cody fan but Jeff’s dislike for Cody has really put him in denial about why he doesn’t want Cody to win.
@@nothingspecial8114 exactly, and if this was any other baby face going against Roman, Jeff would be making the same case. We have been making every one of these matches has been painted by numbers but because he can’t stand Cody his objectivity has gone out the window.
@apexsmokepacker way to move the goalpost lol and because it's THE ROCK the biggest movie star in the world. He's gonna over shadow everything regardless
I personally don't se Cody winning the title from Roman Reigns. I see someone representing the new generation of wrestlers to dethrone Roman. I pointed to the screen on Bron Breakker and I said "That's going to be the guy to beat Roman for the title somedays.
Your "wrestling mimics life" argument is so anti-slanted here lol If you were being consistent with that, you'd have loved the Austin heel turn! Because that's life... in the end you either change job or your spirit gets crushed, i.e. the boss ALWAYS wins!
That’s what many people are not seeing. That’s the true test. Can Roman be interesting and compelling without the title? You don’t really know because since he became the tribal chief he won the championship just a few days afterwards. So you don’t know what that character is like without the title. And as far as I’m concerned, if he’s not special because he doesn’t have it, he shouldn’t have had it in the first place. It’s the old Spider-Man Iron Man.
Manufactured, fake and phony? Kind of like you’re talking about Roman reigns and his push. Because nothing has been more manufactured than Romans entire push from day one. This was a guy who was coming off, beating the undertaker at wrestlemania yet he was performing on Monday nights against John Cena in front of half empty houses, and they kept pushing him. But Cody is manufactured? Come on Jeff. Stop.
I was with you all the way until he won the royal rumble again. Yes, Cody needs to finish the story at this point. I’m not a big Cody guy. I feel like idk what else he is as a character besides Dusty’s son and the “WHOOOAAA” in his theme. But him winning is the much lesser of two evils for outcomes because WWE has completely castrated Roman of all his credibility and aura since last year’s SummerSlam. He hasn’t been able to win without help for god knows how long but he’s playing third to the Rock and Cody when he’s the champion and “tribal chief.” Your comparison to other sports and life in general does not fit here in a wrestling context. How often in wrestling does a company prolong a storyline for several months or years of a babyface trying to overcome the odds just to lose. and not just lose but lose TWICE. It’s a storyline at the end of the day not reality
I can't wait to see this Cody Rhodes reign to flop if they do decide to crown him at Wrestlemania, it's going to be a repeat of Daniel Bryan & Benoit where the luster wears off very quickly. There's no Rock or Roman to feud with for several months. His phony babyface character will run it's course just like it did in AEW & he'll refuse to change just like Cena. It's why they're holding out hope for a Rock or Randy standalone feud, because they know the rest of the roster isn't over to that level. Except for LA Knight, he's the only one that comes close. We've already seen what Cody has done for the last 2 years without the championship, they want a repeat of that with the championship. It's going to suck.
Seems the original Wrestlemania main event was Rock v Roman and Rock winning. They wanted Cody to finish the story at summerslam. That might still be what happens.
Man, I’m not a Cody fan either, but even I want him to win. I don’t care about his forced story and I never asked for it, but I can’t go through another year of “finish the story!” I say just get it over with, give him a short title reign, and prepare Bron Breakker and Carmelo Hayes for the main event scene.
im a fan of cody….but i don’t like this current version of cody crying smiling all the time mentioning his stupid wife that people do not give a 🤬 about…..i want a full homelander type of version of cody he doesn’t care about his family & does whatever the 🤬 he wants not afraid to curse
Steve Nash is my favorite basketball player of all time. He never won a championship, and the NBA literally had a ref arrested for fixing games. Never got to finish his story, and the Suns still havent won a championship. By Cody Rhodes logic, he shouldve won lmaoo
Nah he does, come on man lol If I was booking for me he'd never have been in this position to begin with, but I've never got it with him personally. But he's proven he can maintain strong enthusiasm for fans to see him win after losing last year (which I doubted), the match vs. Reigns last year was great so there shouldn't be any worries that Reigns' dethroning moment won't be memorable which is a concern - who if not him at this point? The Rock's now involved so they'll be more eyes on this year's Mania the usual, etc... The time is right. Lets his fans have their moment, probably grow bored of him within the next 3-6 months (being a thrill of the chase challenger, this feels inevitable), and everyone moves on.
cody rhodes should lose at wrestlemania for multiple reasons, 1. if you want the new evil boss / corporate rock to be taken as a serious threat, he can't immediately get twarted by cody 2. go ahead and let roman break these records so it can be done and over with and no other superstars will have that expectation. 3. cody is on raw and should stay on raw. 4 roman should be the guy that cody just can't check, whether by hook or crook. 5. cody needs character development , he really hasn't gone through trials and tribulations (besides the torn pec) , and when he lost to roman the 1st time , it never came off like he really felt the gravity of that loss, he just did what prime super cena would do and no sold it.
No one remembers the torn pec. This story wouldn't be the same if he didn't miss the time. I hate how I heard before Cody was in WWE again thst he would beat Roman for the title (2021-2022)
I Think it is more about showing that sometimes dreams can Come true.. About if you work hard enough, there is a chance you might get it.. If all We see is failure, We might get to Think, Well Why try if i fail anyway? Of wrestling imitates life.. I Think you need that finish sometimes.. Like when Guerrero Got the Big title, Benoit Got the Big title, Mysterio hot the Big title, Bryan Got the Big title.. In some case The Miz.. McIntyre as Well..
It doesn't matter that Cody lost the match last year to Roman at wrestlemania. The reason why he lost at wrestlemania 39 is because he got injured through half of 2022, then wins the rumble last year, and now he's going to finish the story again. Jeff, you need to think of this whole campaign stuff on keeping Roman as champion. If cody wins, or roman retains his championship, then I don't care what happens at wrestlemania 40. P.S. Who cares that you don't like cody that was 2018, What he said was dumb thing to say, and now we are in 2024. You just need to ignore him and just think of something different.
If it wasn't for Gunther, then I'd rather have cody taking his Intercontinental championship away from him than him taking Roman's undisputed championship. That's my opinion.
I'm still of the belief that Cody should've won last year and how it would be risky to stick to the plan for him to get his win back at WM40 because a lot could happen in a year that could derail those plans. I was okay with the idea of Cody winning at 40. Just okay with it. But when Rock appeared on the Raw Day 1 show and teased a match between himself and Roman, all of the Cody stuff went right out the window with me and I no longer support the idea that Cody should win, and that's when I started to understand why Shlegdaddy doesn't think that Cody is the guy to be the first one to get the belt off of Roman. Cody is not that guy, and I would have Roman retain. Let the Solomonster's and the Dave LaGreca's of the world go on their epic meltdowns. Nothing would make my day better than to see them cry.
This whole bs he’s got to finish the story he’s got to win it, so what’s on the line for Cody? What does he have to give up if he doesn’t win? This whole he’s got to win has to have real steaks, if he loses he’s still got a job, he could still win a title in the future For Cody to lose put his career on the line, or he will never be allowed a title shot again, he’s got nothing on the line, so this whole he’s got to win and finish the story has no steaks, but he loses nothing if he loses. Wrestlers have put masks and careers on the line if they fail, but Cody has put nothing on the line himself which makes this whole storyline pointless with no steaks
If he doesn't win at WrestleMania 40 then it's pointless. He's the best choice to dethrone Roman. Give him the title and let him run with it for a while.
Come on man, who cares if its like real life wrestling should just put out the most exciting and entertaining show as possible and roman needs to drop the belt to someone he's just a belt hogger at this point he's never there and its stale as fuck, at least cody winning will turn a new corner for a while. I am not a cody fan and I definitely think the right time to do it was last year and since then the whole cody thing has been a case of diminishing returns but i'll happily take wwe starting something new with him over more of the same tired stuff with roman.
going along with the sports analogy the chiefs are roman reigns cody can be likened to brock purdy and the 49ers, but of course wwe won’t do that, wrestling fans are too fickle
He hasn’t even thought that far ahead, which is contrary to how Jeff usually is. I’ve been listening to his channel since 2013 and what I always loved about him was that he was levelheaded and he was objective. But when it comes to this Roman reign stuff, he has not been objective, since he became the tribal chief. He has clearly put his fan hat on, and he’s been doing all sorts of mental gymnastics to act like this guy is so star-spangled awesome. Meanwhile he was given years of opportunities as the top baby face, and he failed miserably.
Why should Cody do except for this forced bullshit about him finishing the so called story? I have been asking this for a year now. Wtf does finish the story mean?!!!
@apexsmokepacker"Why not give it to someone younger than Cody" in your earlier response.....then lists off 4 dudes where 3 of them are older than Cody. You can't make this shit up 😂😂😂
I'm bigger in bron breaker than anyone in a long time like since ruse. And bray Wyatt in mid 2010's and he has more potential in my opinion than them even if he can't promo or be as good of a character.

Just like Roman's push. Yet people love it now 🤷🏿♂️
The only way you could say it’s forced is if people were rebelling against Cody. And they have been solidly behind him. Yes with Cody pulled back in 2016 with Jeff was wrong. There’s no way around it. He was completely full of it and we all know it. That doesn’t change the fact that today in 2024 he’s the hottest baby face that they have, and they easily could’ve given up on him Like they did so many other baby faces that got jobbed out to Roman but they didn’t. There’s a message there. And sometimes you have to look outside of your own understanding and recognize that it’s time. They should’ve just did it last year and we would be past it.
@@darthdesidus4361You smarks are pathetic. The dude is getting outdrawn in segments by divas. He's not a fucking draw!! When will smarks wake up to this fact? You're forcing his push because it was originally supposed to be Rock vs Roman and you can't accept that reality.
This storyline is nowhere near forced.
@@airfrance4365yes it is . They’re making it super obvious that he is winning. He is the new cena
I just want to see the FANTASTIC title reign of Cody’s that will justify him being the guy to beat Roman. I also can’t wait for people to jump through hoops, Meltzer-style, trying to pretend that his world title reign is everything they hoped for.
His title reign finna be straight boredom, already calling it. I give it 2-3 months. He won’t even make it till Summerslam
If cody wins, Damien preist needs to cash in right after
Hell No priest has no momentum
@@airfrance4365 Exactly, like he can't just win the undisputed championship, even though he has the undisputed tag team championships with finn bálor.
The two sporting events that came close are the '88 and '89 Pistons, where they lost a game 7 in LA in 1988 and came back and swept LA in LA in 1989. The 1997 Red Wings lost to the Colorado Avalanche in the 1996 Western Conference finals and the following year had their classic fight and then knocking the Avalanche out in 6 games in the conference finals.
The ridiculous irony amongst many things about cawdys "story" is dusty was never a wwf guy, he was always a nwa guy
And guess what younglings he was a nwa champion
So the basic premise of cawdys story makes no sense lol
"But he wanted to be the first one to win the belt in his family," in the words of jack perry, "go cry me a river"
There have been legends in this business that never came close to sniffing a world title like roddy piper,
I'm supposed to believe cawdy is more deserving than roddy piper? Get tf outta here lol
Loss and recovery. Kind of like what happened last year and he has spent the last year recovering. What you want him to lose again? Lmao God Jeff, you really REALLY just can’t let go of the fact that he was completely completely full of shit back in 2016 when he said what he said to you on Twitter. You have to let this go, bro. Roman has no one else to work with. He has blown through the entire roster. It is time.
He’s waffling this entire video.
@DanielGarcia-gr2hx Jeff's been waffling the past few years now 😅 But it's especially funny when he tries to sound profound in his biased vids lol
I can't take him seriously when he talks about Cody because I know he's biased after the whole Twitter thing. He just can't get over that.
Arguing with Cody on twitter was the biggest thing to ever happen to him so he needs to keep playing into that 😂
@@JimBob-cu1qf that’s fine but to sit here and say that he should lose a second year in a row of Roman when Roman doesn’t have anyone else to work with is silly.
His match with the rock doesn’t need the title same with punk if anything him having the title hurts those matches because everyone knows the outcome. You’re not going to do him versus Gunther because they are both bad guys. So he has no one else to work with.
The Rock sells out arenas and everybody knows him, cody nobody- well no 1 really cares!
Cody didn’t win two royal rumbles back to back and headline two manias to not finish it at mania like be so fr
Stranger things have happened ....
Cody wouldn’t have a “story” if it weren’t for the Bloodlines existence. It’s no coincidence he hightailed back to WWE as Reigns was becoming the ultimate heel. He knew he was never going to be the Babyface he saw himself as in AEW. Entitled goofball.
Those AEW fans slapped reality into him and he hightailed it the night they threw the belt back at him. I almost want him to lose again and have Aleister Black laugh in his face since he was partially the trigger into Cody leaving his wrestling boots in the ring
I would argue that yeah life ain’t fair but in an escape like wrestling, I def wanna see SOMEBODY finish their story
Not a big Cody guy but I’ve been entertained 🤷🏽♂️
They need to get the belt off of Roman like yesterday. His reign has been the drizzling shits since last year. Dude gets outshined by his cousin and everyone he's feuded with since his feud with Jey last year and his matches are basically the Jeff Jarrett special (stalling forever, ref bump, interference, etc) and you want it to continue because of some dork beef you have with Cody. Cody should win not to "finish his story" sake....but because they have built no one else up and its time to move from this bullshit lame reign of terror that you aren't even watching bruh
@apexsmokepackerThey need someone NOW. Not 6 monthes from now, not next WrestleMania, but NOW. They should of pushed someone else younger, but they didn't. They got Cody who has been about as over as anyone full time in WWE could get and has been for 3 years to the point their own fanbase rejected whatever shit they were throwing at them with Rock vs Roman so I don't know what to tell you. I can tell you Roman's title reign has been hot garbage for nearly a year and it time to move on from it and if Cody is there to do it so be it....
@apexsmokepackerI’m so tired of ppl always saying put a young guy over to defeat a dominant champion. Man Cody is 38 bruh fans act like these wrestlers don’t be wrestling consistently in their 40s. You have likely over a half decade until Cody reaches just part time status
@@nothingspecial8114 Cody’s the same age Cena was when he started going part time. Stop it.
@@jaylinc2062 HBK was full time and retired at 42, Undertaker only went part time when he was 45, Orton is still full time at 44, Edge is 50 and still full time, Hulk Hogan was late 40s to early 50 in his 2nd run with WWE, Ric Flair had his “retirement” in 2008 when he was 59! Do I need to keep the list going? LA Knight is 41 still full time. AJ Styles 46 still full time. Kane hung it up in his 50s. Stop acting like once these dudes hit mid 30s the end is near lmao yall should know better than this
@apexsmokepacker Never said he was young talent but he ain’t old either. it’s okay to admit if you don’t know how many wrestlers you watched still were full time in their 40s and 50s
He will be a great heel
Cawdy rhodes and his crybaby marks have ruined what could have been a historic anniversary show, instead wm 40 will go down as the most boring and meaningless wm of all time
The entire lineup is disappointing as hell

Y'all really mad you didn't get Rock vs Roman huh lol?
@@weswith360s y'all really creaming your pants over a bland rematch from last year?
Cody is getting the same push Roman did in 2015. But because there's the bs story of finish the story. Wtf even is the story any more?? He's already won the Rumble twice and do.... What?nobody can tell you what the m fucking story is that he needs to finish
He hasn't won the WWE title yet
@@papaadot9369That’s not a story, that’s a goal that many wrestlers have lol
A Goran Ivanisevic reference from the Schlegdaddy is so fucking niche and I'm here for it.
Absolutely I agree
Cody Rhodes is boring version of john cena
And now this is why I'm subbed to u!
Roman really feels like an afterthought throughout all this. I can't tell if its intentional or not on the Rock's end.
Just wait until next year and we all can see the hype of a real main event. What will people say then when that match outdraws and gains more fan interest than this one by leaps and bounds ?
I'd like to see Roman win & I just don't think Cody will be a big draw.
He never was ROH dident draw AEW dident draw
Cody never calls Dusty "Dad". He always refers to him as Dusty.
What kinda of contrarian bullshit is this 💀💀💀
If not liking a bland white meat baby face makes you a contrian, sign me up
Finish the Story!
Meanwhile, this weekend’s NXT Takeover main event has a far better, more coherent story…and it’s not even for the world title.
Oh I knew this was coming lmao Jeff, Roman has been champion for 3 1/2 years…it’s time…it’s BEEN time…
fr lmao. and it’s not even just about the length of his reign. his reign has just become completely ass since summerslam now. I’m not a super Cody fan but Jeff’s dislike for Cody has really put him in denial about why he doesn’t want Cody to win.
@@nothingspecial8114 exactly, and if this was any other baby face going against Roman, Jeff would be making the same case. We have been making every one of these matches has been painted by numbers but because he can’t stand Cody his objectivity has gone out the window.
@apexsmokepacker cody not over with the fans? Hilarious 😂
@apexsmokepacker Cody is over with niche AND the kids and the parents of the kids and that's as casual you can get. Try again
@apexsmokepacker way to move the goalpost lol and because it's THE ROCK the biggest movie star in the world. He's gonna over shadow everything regardless
I personally don't se Cody winning the title from Roman Reigns. I see someone representing the new generation of wrestlers to dethrone Roman. I pointed to the screen on Bron Breakker and I said "That's going to be the guy to beat Roman for the title somedays.
I believe someone from the next Gen is the best idea. But Gable Steveson and Oba Femi are better options than Bron Breakker. No questions asked.
The best quote about life is “life sucks and then you die”
Your "wrestling mimics life" argument is so anti-slanted here lol
If you were being consistent with that, you'd have loved the Austin heel turn! Because that's life... in the end you either change job or your spirit gets crushed, i.e. the boss ALWAYS wins!
I just want them to get his title Reign over with. And I wanna see if Roman can still remain as over without the title
That’s what many people are not seeing. That’s the true test. Can Roman be interesting and compelling without the title? You don’t really know because since he became the tribal chief he won the championship just a few days afterwards. So you don’t know what that character is like without the title. And as far as I’m concerned, if he’s not special because he doesn’t have it, he shouldn’t have had it in the first place. It’s the old Spider-Man Iron Man.
Manufactured, fake and phony? Kind of like you’re talking about Roman reigns and his push. Because nothing has been more manufactured than Romans entire push from day one. This was a guy who was coming off, beating the undertaker at wrestlemania yet he was performing on Monday nights against John Cena in front of half empty houses, and they kept pushing him. But Cody is manufactured? Come on Jeff. Stop.
Bro said Jeff, haha
Implying cody wasn't wrestling in front of half empty arenas too? Some selective memory there.
At least roman doesn't cry every week, cody needs therapy not a title reign
I was with you all the way until he won the royal rumble again. Yes, Cody needs to finish the story at this point. I’m not a big Cody guy. I feel like idk what else he is as a character besides Dusty’s son and the “WHOOOAAA” in his theme. But him winning is the much lesser of two evils for outcomes because WWE has completely castrated Roman of all his credibility and aura since last year’s SummerSlam. He hasn’t been able to win without help for god knows how long but he’s playing third to the Rock and Cody when he’s the champion and “tribal chief.” Your comparison to other sports and life in general does not fit here in a wrestling context. How often in wrestling does a company prolong a storyline for several months or years of a babyface trying to overcome the odds just to lose. and not just lose but lose TWICE. It’s a storyline at the end of the day not reality
Fuck all that I don't want to see the rise of a super cena 2.0, cawdy must lose
Finish the story Cody Rhodes 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
This reminds me of WrestleMania 20 when it was Lesnar vs Goldberg and then became Lesnar story vs Stone Cold and Goldberg became irrelevant.
I can't wait to see this Cody Rhodes reign to flop if they do decide to crown him at Wrestlemania, it's going to be a repeat of Daniel Bryan & Benoit where the luster wears off very quickly. There's no Rock or Roman to feud with for several months. His phony babyface character will run it's course just like it did in AEW & he'll refuse to change just like Cena. It's why they're holding out hope for a Rock or Randy standalone feud, because they know the rest of the roster isn't over to that level. Except for LA Knight, he's the only one that comes close. We've already seen what Cody has done for the last 2 years without the championship, they want a repeat of that with the championship. It's going to suck.
Seems the original Wrestlemania main event was Rock v Roman and Rock winning. They wanted Cody to finish the story at summerslam. That might still be what happens.
It's good to see you again fan film cletus kasady.
This guy has a weird obsession with cody rhodes, let it go bro 😭
Cody called him out a couple of yrs ago when he was on the indies & he has a personal vendetta against him ever since 🤣🤣🤣
I really don't care if cody is finishing his story or not just making things even more difficult for most people to enjoy it.
Great rant!
Your argument is the same argument The Rock made in Utah 😂
LMAO IMAGINE IN 2014 THINK THAT 10 YEARS LATER WE STILL WOULD BE TALKING ABOUT CODY LET ALONE BECOMING CHAMP, RIP WRESTLING
This man is contradicting himself
Just look at what he said last year after wrestleMania 39
Human life is complete garbage
Man, I’m not a Cody fan either, but even I want him to win. I don’t care about his forced story and I never asked for it, but I can’t go through another year of “finish the story!” I say just get it over with, give him a short title reign, and prepare Bron Breakker and Carmelo Hayes for the main event scene.
His beef with Cody is juvenile. I doubt Cody is thinking about him.
So juvenile it triggers you crybaby marks years later
I can't wait to see the bitterness a week from now
1000% correct..... All the way
im a fan of cody….but i don’t like this current version of cody crying smiling all the time mentioning his stupid wife that people do not give a 🤬 about…..i want a full homelander type of version of cody he doesn’t care about his family & does whatever the 🤬 he wants not afraid to curse
“Life is not fair”
Steve Nash is my favorite basketball player of all time. He never won a championship, and the NBA literally had a ref arrested for fixing games. Never got to finish his story, and the Suns still havent won a championship. By Cody Rhodes logic, he shouldve won lmaoo
Also, I hate it when they call it XL. Just call it 40 instead.
Nah he does, come on man lol
If I was booking for me he'd never have been in this position to begin with, but I've never got it with him personally. But he's proven he can maintain strong enthusiasm for fans to see him win after losing last year (which I doubted), the match vs. Reigns last year was great so there shouldn't be any worries that Reigns' dethroning moment won't be memorable which is a concern - who if not him at this point? The Rock's now involved so they'll be more eyes on this year's Mania the usual, etc...
The time is right. Lets his fans have their moment, probably grow bored of him within the next 3-6 months (being a thrill of the chase challenger, this feels inevitable), and everyone moves on.
cody rhodes should lose at wrestlemania for multiple reasons, 1. if you want the new evil boss / corporate rock to be taken as a serious threat, he can't immediately get twarted by cody 2. go ahead and let roman break these records so it can be done and over with and no other superstars will have that expectation. 3. cody is on raw and should stay on raw. 4 roman should be the guy that cody just can't check, whether by hook or crook. 5. cody needs character development , he really hasn't gone through trials and tribulations (besides the torn pec) , and when he lost to roman the 1st time , it never came off like he really felt the gravity of that loss, he just did what prime super cena would do and no sold it.
No one remembers the torn pec. This story wouldn't be the same if he didn't miss the time. I hate how I heard before Cody was in WWE again thst he would beat Roman for the title (2021-2022)
I Think it is more about showing that sometimes dreams can Come true.. About if you work hard enough, there is a chance you might get it.. If all We see is failure, We might get to Think, Well Why try if i fail anyway? Of wrestling imitates life.. I Think you need that finish sometimes.. Like when Guerrero Got the Big title, Benoit Got the Big title, Mysterio hot the Big title, Bryan Got the Big title.. In some case The Miz.. McIntyre as Well..
Should be The Legacy Vs The bloodline at mania. Seth does not fit this at all
It doesn't matter that Cody lost the match last year to Roman at wrestlemania. The reason why he lost at wrestlemania 39 is because he got injured through half of 2022, then wins the rumble last year, and now he's going to finish the story again. Jeff, you need to think of this whole campaign stuff on keeping Roman as champion. If cody wins, or roman retains his championship, then I don't care what happens at wrestlemania 40. P.S. Who cares that you don't like cody that was 2018, What he said was dumb thing to say, and now we are in 2024. You just need to ignore him and just think of something different.
If it wasn't for Gunther, then I'd rather have cody taking his Intercontinental championship away from him than him taking Roman's undisputed championship. That's my opinion.
Stop that
He actually has to finish the story.
I'm still of the belief that Cody should've won last year and how it would be risky to stick to the plan for him to get his win back at WM40 because a lot could happen in a year that could derail those plans.
I was okay with the idea of Cody winning at 40. Just okay with it. But when Rock appeared on the Raw Day 1 show and teased a match between himself and Roman, all of the Cody stuff went right out the window with me and I no longer support the idea that Cody should win, and that's when I started to understand why Shlegdaddy doesn't think that Cody is the guy to be the first one to get the belt off of Roman.
Cody is not that guy, and I would have Roman retain. Let the Solomonster's and the Dave LaGreca's of the world go on their epic meltdowns. Nothing would make my day better than to see them cry.
Cody the guy cut it out
@@papaadot9369 Fine, fine ... Cody's the guy. But you don't have to cry about it.
Love that MJ shirt
Ok, I can see what you’re saying. You still watching tho, right? YEET
Tbh, this year with the Detroit lions
This whole bs he’s got to finish the story he’s got to win it, so what’s on the line for Cody? What does he have to give up if he doesn’t win? This whole he’s got to win has to have real steaks, if he loses he’s still got a job, he could still win a title in the future
For Cody to lose put his career on the line, or he will never be allowed a title shot again, he’s got nothing on the line, so this whole he’s got to win and finish the story has no steaks, but he loses nothing if he loses. Wrestlers have put masks and careers on the line if they fail, but Cody has put nothing on the line himself which makes this whole storyline pointless with no steaks
If he doesn't win at WrestleMania 40 then it's pointless.
He's the best choice to dethrone Roman.
Give him the title and let him run with it for a while.
I miss you
Come on man, who cares if its like real life wrestling should just put out the most exciting and entertaining show as possible and roman needs to drop the belt to someone he's just a belt hogger at this point he's never there and its stale as fuck, at least cody winning will turn a new corner for a while. I am not a cody fan and I definitely think the right time to do it was last year and since then the whole cody thing has been a case of diminishing returns but i'll happily take wwe starting something new with him over more of the same tired stuff with roman.
Am I the only one who finds it odd he has done like 10 straight anti Cody videos but has yet to do one on the Vince fiasco?
going along with the sports analogy the chiefs are roman reigns cody can be likened to brock purdy and the 49ers, but of course wwe won’t do that, wrestling fans are too fickle
I actually find the Cody Rhodes story inspirational because it might be his chance to do something his father didn't do, which is win the world title.
Yes, that's true.
But not at this point, in my opinion.
@apexsmokepackerYeah, but that was when he was a legend killer back in the days.
@@kamronlynchwhen then? In 10 years when he's pushing 50?
@@arclight3665 are you sure?
I'm going to say Cody loses again! That's my prediction.

So wrestlemania 40 is shaping up to be a lame low rent version of wrestlemania 30. I'll pass.
Let me ask you this, if not Cody who should be the one to dethrone Roman then?
He hasn’t even thought that far ahead, which is contrary to how Jeff usually is. I’ve been listening to his channel since 2013 and what I always loved about him was that he was levelheaded and he was objective. But when it comes to this Roman reign stuff, he has not been objective, since he became the tribal chief. He has clearly put his fan hat on, and he’s been doing all sorts of mental gymnastics to act like this guy is so star-spangled awesome. Meanwhile he was given years of opportunities as the top baby face, and he failed miserably.
Why should Cody do except for this forced bullshit about him finishing the so called story? I have been asking this for a year now. Wtf does finish the story mean?!!!
@apexsmokepacker Pretty much all I see when it comes to this so called story and what makes that interesting?
@apexsmokepacker"Why not give it to someone younger than Cody" in your earlier response.....then lists off 4 dudes where 3 of them are older than Cody. You can't make this shit up 😂😂😂
I'm bigger in bron breaker than anyone in a long time like since ruse. And bray Wyatt in mid 2010's and he has more potential in my opinion than them even if he can't promo or be as good of a character.
