Tony thought his new toys were more valuable. Before Cody, WWE couldnt sell out wrestlemania..youre complaining about creative…Triple H is a bad booker.
Cody isn't the only person who seems happier working under Paul Levesque. CM Punk, Randy Orton, and Michael Cole also seem way happier than they've ever been working for WWE. I also think Cole should get inducted into the WWE HoF soon. If JR and King were inducted as active announcers, Cole more than deserves it, too.
Vince is the one who signed him and created the story of finishing the story ! Triple h was the last person in management he talked to because there was heat over the throne and the Wednesday night wars !
@@R6W2 Cody believed it so it was real to him . he was probably more mad about aew winning the Wednesday night war which cost him his position . he made lots of insults towards aew on air which goes against vince's policy !
On top of that, he’d hit a ceiling. By promising never to book himself to be champion, he’d pretty much done all there was for him and by going back up WWE his star shone brighter than ever.
@@liceafilms probably a point there too. I e been saying for a while, the ones to watch for are Jericho and Mercedes. They both obviously intend to end up back in WWE, when they make that move it will mean AEW is in trouble and they decided they got all they were going to.
Everything JD does ages like milk. He absolutely sucks. He’s a tiny little hobbit who lives in his parents basement and thinks he knows everything about wrestling and has some kind of insider info because he calls some matches for some little independent show. The guy is a fucking idiot and always has been and every time he’s proven wrong. He tries to manipulate his audience to believing he said something completely different fucking retard.
Not for nothing but JD said what everyone was thinking. Vince was notorious for burying talent that have crossed him, got over on their own, or got over in other wrestling companies. It crossed every wrestling fans mind if he was going to get buried or not
Cody Rhodes helped save wrestling when he didn’t resign with WWE and went to the indies, and made really good money. The fans were desperate for a good wrestling product at the time, and willing to look outside WWE to alternative promotions. AEW would have never happened without Cody’s moves. And, because of AEW, WWE had to get better.
I always have this theory that The Young Bucks (who I once were fans of) are the ones stirring the pot backstage by reporting rumors to Meltzer and Meltzer reports it as fact, and it’s based out of professional jealousy. Cody was the first victim, then it was Punk, then their friends haven’t really been on television (Danhausen, Ricky Starks) could they also be the one behind the narrative that MJF yelled at Brit Baker and punched a wall? I mean no one watches AEW for them, but MJF clearly the best wrestler in that company from a character standpoint. E-V-Petty isn’t just a gimmick.
I also believe that cause them 2 would never be big stars in WWE and they wanted to get at anyone they knew could be it was big Stars in WWE. They didn't think of Jericho as a threat cause he's a has been. Look at anyone who's getting any kinda of buzz in AEW and people start talking about them possibly going to WWE they start getting the worse booking and Ultimately get any buzz killed.
@@sylvesterstanton7488 all those guys the bucks adam page they would be nothing in wwe. mjf is smartest out of all of them he knows wwe is loaded right now with top aging stars so hes taking that money marks money now and in 3 years he will go to wwe as still a very young man
Cody also worked the last year in aew off a contract that n a handshake gave tony his word he was gonna put over as much people possible on the way out …Cody gave the man his word and worked the last year contract free as a favor to give back to tony
I'm going to tell you something that Cody has never said publicly. John Laurinitus was the one responsible for bringing Cody back to WWE. Tony Khan was avoiding Cody for WEEKS about his contract talks, and eventually Cody caught Tony in a hallway at Dynamite, in front of EVERYONE, and when TK wouldn't give him a definite answer about his contract ,and asked him not to do this publicly, he called Laurinitus, right there and then, and told John to "Make it Happen"
@@editnosmirc4489 100% John Laurinitus. Prichard had nothing to do with Talent Relations at the time, but they seem to be going with the Bruce narrative since John's Exile from the Company
I can't really blame him either. If your boss isn't really being clear about your position in a company or your job when you need a clear and definitive answer, after a while you need a employer that's a bit more reliable and where you're feeling more happy.
This is such an interesting video because it felt like the intro the entire video but kept up that rapidity and narrative the entire way through. Good stuff, man!
@@MarkHerediaMusic Punk went back so never say never, if MJF's stock doesn't rise by the time his next contract ends I'd say he'll wanna go WWE just to do the rubber match with Punk
You cannot tell me the Cucamonga Kids didn't stab Cody in the back. The O'Jays' hit told the story: "They're smilin' in your face, all the time they wanna take your place, the backstabbers..."
why do you care.. doesn't effect your sheeple life at all. the events and matters that still effect your life, you just blow off and pretend some god is going to come back and save you
@@evilswissy I literally tell people this. People get caught up in drama that that has no impact on anyones lives outside of those actually involved. Yet they ignore things that are actually happening to them.
It’s not really complicated what happened. They mistreated him, so he left. Cody created AEW and was proud of the fact that he provided wrestlers the opportunity to consider their options and make more money for both organizations. So he left quietly. The EVPs thought it was going to be just as easy to do this to Punk. And Phil gave their brand a death blow it will never truly recover from.
The statement "WWE have diehard fans that will love him if he jumps ship" is very true. And ultimately he knew that, and that's why he did it. And it worked.
Ive been saying since Cody left that Cody was the reason why AEW was great when it started. The 4 Pillars? Darby, Cody was behind his booking and made him a star. MJF, Cody noticed him after the initial All In and kept him at his side and helped his booking. Sammy Guevara, he reminded me of a young WCW Eddie Guerrero and Cody was the one who booked him and raised his flag, until Jericho suddenly noticed him after the work Cody put in and then claimed the success of Sammy. The only one of the 4 Pillars that wasn't a Cody guy was Jungle Boy, who was under the wing of the Young Bucks.. FUNNY how Jungle Boy is the only one that doesn't feel like a star, huh? Even Sammy, if Sammy was under Cody's wing, he'd be like Darby or MJF, but Chris Jericho just wants to thrive off of Sammy's popularity. But Jungle Boy, even now as the scapegoat, he just feels like a flop and the energy drops when The Bucks or Jungle Boy pop up on screen, and ratings drop. During the first year and a half, ALL of the EVPs were booking, as per Dave Meltzer. And you can tell, Cody booked segments, promos and matches felt like modern day NWA, Mid South, Championship Wrestling from Florida and good old fashion wrasslin'. It was structured, professional and entertaining because Cody had you emotionally invested. Then Kenny's booking segments felt like amateur Dragon Gate, New Japan, and All Japan styled segments with some Joshi thrown in. It wasn't bad, but it felt sloppy and unprofessional. Then The Bucks segments would happen and the shows felt like unhinged PWG shows with a budget. It was just a whiplash, going from good, structured Wrestling to unhinged backyard Wrestling and transitioned into the New Japan styled Wrestling. Then the shows started falling apart during AEWs 2nd year, and he took away the booking powers of the EVPs, leaving them EVPs in name only. EXCEPT for Cody Rhodes, who was still let into the booking meetings and creative scheduling, as per Dave Meltzer. So Cody was still involved with AEWs creative? I wonder why? Because even Tony could see that Cody was the best decision out of the EVPs to actually run the show. But Cody eventually went through what CM Punk went through. Sound familiar? The Bucks didn't like that Cody had more power than them, so we starting hearing rumors that there were problems with The Elite and Cody was separating himself from The Bucks and Kenny. Funny how there's always rumors going around with The Bucks that result in whomever they dislike leaving. It's no secret, the Young Bucks basically BULLY talent and run the West coast independent Wrestling scene. Wrestlers like EC3 and others have been coming out for so long that if The Bucks didn't like you, they and their friends would talk shit about you to other promoters so you wouldn't get booked. That's their MO, they spread rumors so they can capitalize on that. But at the same time, I fully believe that Cody planned to return to WWE regardless. I believe he planned with Tony or the Elite that he would help them get AEW founded with sturdy foundations, then once he proved he was a star, he would leave for WWE. Cody obviously has influence over his booking in WWE, and every storyline is similar to his runs in AEW. But done more professionally and structured. And what did he say was his one no no in AEW when speaking with Chris Van Vliet? The mentioning of his father, Dusty Rhodes. He didn't want ANYONE in AEW mentioning his father and if they did, he would cut off the angle or story immediately. Bring in MJF, once MJF turned on Cody and they started their fued, MJF mentioned Dusty during one of his promos, Cody looked absolutely PISSED and didn't mention the jab. And suddenly Dusty was never mentioned again during their fued. But what was Cody's focal point in WWE? Literally the FIRST promo back? "I want to win the championship my father was screwed out of." Cody always said he wanted to prove to WWE and Vince that he was a star, and he did exactly that. He has the blonde hair and blue eyes like Hogan, he speaks appropriately and clear while carrying himself in an executive manner with the suits and nice watch. If he stayed in AEW, I think he wouldn't mind it, but I firmly believe that returning to WWE was always the plan.
it felt like a very big deal to me , since he was the founding father (fk the elite) of AEW, on top of that , he returned back to wwe with the kingdom theme , it felt so surreal after watching him use that for 6 years in roh and indies befre returning to wwe in 2022.
Man wrestling podcasters can be the lamest. 3:23 there’s this geek holding a championship over his shoulder then the geek before that’s yelling at the top of his lungs about a predetermined sport
It's one of the many issues with the aew fanbase, they are over invested idiots who care more about flips than stories, which is perfectly fine. The problem is the way they deal with it and act publicly
God all these wrestle tubers are what's wrong with the current wrestling fan base. Too obsessed with how the sausage is made that they can't just enjoy what's being presented to them.
This should be always remembered when these “experts” try to pass off opinions as facts! They’ve been doing it for decades and only recently has it been so apparent that many if not most are full of nonsense.
You're so right about the momentum being taken away. A lot of the fan hate for Cody before he left is overblown now. Yes he was booed, but he was still beloved closing out the shows, still had the longest autograph line, still got some of the biggest reactions. Everyone was unhappy with him creatively. Him beating all the newcomers was bad. I wonder if he would have had a contract the booking would have been more coherent.
All tony had to do was give cody what he asked for Instead kf letting him be a free agent. He shouldnt of signed Keith Lee, Rusev. malakai black, brody king and like 10 other guys and gave the money to Cody. Also, He didnt need to become a free agent. Remeber he also had options that Tony Khan COULD HAVE JUST PICKED UP, like he did with the Bucks.
@@brokenkayfabe Yea at the end of the day Tony should have just forced it and kept trying for another year to fix it lol. I really really really hope it wasn't Tony being for it but Cody being against all the WWE signings and that was one of the differences that couldn't be overcome. Looking back at that time, who has really really worked out? Danielson? Cole has been decent overall but that's carried by the Max program. Black has had moments but the group is never healthy. Andrade gone. Was Swerve around then? He doesn't seem like the others for some reason. Just a string of misses.
@@brokenkayfabeIt is kinda weird TK didn’t pick up the one year option with Cody he did so for The Bucks Jericho and Moxley but i feel at this time TK didn’t care to lose Cody because he had Punk and Danielson
@brokenkayfabe no, that Anthony Ogogo story was horrible. Him taking himself out of the title picture was not very bright either and both were Cody's idea. Or that pointless feud with Sammy G? Why keep doing that with one guy, at the time, when you could pay however many others the same as one guy and try to do better? If Cody would've been willing to turn heel then, it could've been a different story. Best thing he did in AEW was getting squashed by the late Mr. Brodie Lee. Hindsight is always 20/20 though
@@blazedbeye3412 he had feuds with Andrede and Malaki black at that time as well. He gave Malakai what is still his only buzzworthy feud. He was very selfless in AEW and its a shame some people dont appreciate that. He tried to help Sammy after Jericho ruined him and look what happened after he left? Sammy hit some real bad times.
Man, I forgot how big of a deal AEW was when it launched, and how many "wrestling journalists" viewed it as a serious threat to WWE. And look now at how quickly it's become a complete joke. Last week NXT drew more viewers than all three AEW shows combined.
It's just more proof that people need to stop listening to and supporting these clowns, especially "wrestling journalists" like Sean Ross Simp, Meltzer, Alvarez etc
I wouldn’t say age badly I mean, look at his title run and how Roman reigns is being cheered more than. It’s a pattern if you want to be technical. That’s why I get why people are predicting heel for Cody. I look at it like the pattern still continues. I predict the rock beats Cody Rhodes for the WWE championship or Roman reigns. And Cody slowly leans into heel not right away but kind of like Austin from late 2000
@Nas-f3q the fact roman reigns is getting cheered more is irrelevant, all the newsletter marks were claiming cody was going back to the midcard and they were wrong.
@@1KQ_ I don’t think he’s going back to mid card . I can’t see that. He still gonna be in the main event scene, but I think that Roman reigns is just a better titleholder than Cody Rhodes, but I’m willing to give him a chance still even if it’s been a few months. He’s doing good in terms of like how shows and kids still like him so I mean he’s not doing too bad. Definitely bringing something.
Letting Tony khan take the control of the company was the biggest mistake. He took the reins to early when he didn’t know how the wrestling business really works. He’s just a fan at first. Listening to Jericho was also a mistake, where he is with the learning tree just shows how he didn’t know what he was talking about exactly.
I love how everyone said it would be a bad idea if he goes back to WWE look at where he is now he’s in a much better place. I love when“journalists “ think there right then they turn out to be wrong I do think Cody really did want to run a wrestling company like his dad. But The people he was running it with didn’t take it seriously like he did
I really hope that Cody gets to see this… this is really well done and deserves to be appreciated by everyone who loves wrestling. I love both companies and this is super unbiased and very good no doubt about it.
Hard to disagree with this. I stopped watching AEW regularly around the time Cody seemed to get disenfranchised. Now I don't watch at all. And it wasn't because of Cody on screen. But clearly in retrospect maybe Cody influenced my watching habits more than I thought!
If people truly understood what happened between Cody, the Elite, and NJPW, everything would make sense. The importance of New Japan in the landscape of pro wrestling has changed the industry.
Thing with the spout monkey stuff is ince you've seen. The spot. It becomes less exciting. Will osprey and Kenny being exceptions, they still wow me but much prefer long term stories (Kenny does that well too, to be fair) but definitely over flippy spots and suicide dives all over the place
100% agree, I’m a corny guy and like real wrestling but Kenny omega has got to be one of those guilty pleasures to watch. He started this whole spot monkey shit but he does it the best. Hoping he comes back healthy and leaves that shitshow
I noticed trouble start when cardona appeared on aew but he didn't get signed ! The elite could sign all of their friends but Cody couldn't sign his best friend !
Im just going to say this Cody Rhodes he was a kid then he was trying to find himself I don't blame him at all he was wrestling when in his early 20s and I think it was hard for him step out of his dad shadow and yet he accomplished that I'm so proud of him
It's funny how wrong these so called wrestling reporters and experts were about the impact Cody would have in WWE. How many clips did I see of someone saying he'll be a mid carder in 2 months? Or back to Stardust? Or that they would punish him for working against WWE when he left? He's not only Main Evented the past two WrestleManias, but won the title in the best story-driven angle ever. He's become the biggest star in the industry, I think leaving AEW worked out okay for him.
2:15 Somehow, I missed all this discourse while it was happening, and it's hilarious with the benefit of hindsight. The second Cody walked out against Seth I assumed he'd be the guy who beat Roman for the belt, it's crazy that anyone who makes a living off wrestling commentary didn't see that.
I think that's bc Vince was the boss back then. Even I thought they were going to make Cody a Jobber, and I still think that if Vince was still the boss, he wouldn't have made Cody the champ
Is the young bucks ego too much for anyone in aew? I mean who runs it? Tony thru his dad's money? Or does Matt and Nick claim they want to run it? I mean I wish tony kahn let it go back to what it was and not let it be like wcw and others run the company.
I don’t think Brawl out would have happened, with Cody there. Punk would go up to Tony several times and say please handle that. Cody was the guy that would have handled it.
This was cool but the entire video somehow felt like an intro to a video that never started. The editing was great but how you worded the narration was interesting. Good job brother.
was going to comment the same thing! Good editing, I think having some of intro moment, then pause and state the video title, then change the music to somthing less intest to the video can build back up. Wrestling bios or wrestling with regret, has really good pacing, best of luck keep up the work!
Pretty clear Cody made the right choice and AEW has no one to blame but Tony… You still have to wonder how they couldn’t make things work, loosing there 2 biggest stars in a years time has haunted them since.
Those wrestling fans believe they know how wrestling as a business works but they don't. Seting egos aside makes money you are supposed to build bridges not burn them.
good video. definitely a cody glazer though. Would love to hear this from other people's perspective and what cody should actually get credit for. Because no mention on him jumping on the young buck/omega gravy train in NJPW & ROH. no mention of him being the ring leader of antagonizing WWE. etc. Thats why the Bucks said he came after...because he did come after...
i did include footage of him saying he is going to cut vinces head...attacking wwe fanbase for starting rumors...i am a cody glazer for sure tho. if you look today at whos success has continued and who's careers have been ice cold you could draw some real conclusions...bucks sabotaged their own careers. Would The Bucks have put on ALL In w/o Cody? i doubt it.
@@brokenkayfabe but thats speculation. Cody career is where its at because of the WWE machine. AEW is still reeling from giving all the power to CM Punk who change the "mission" as cody would say it. He got rid of what people loved about AEW. You're kinda conflating situations to make your point. All your evidence for what happened backstage is just Cody's POV. You need soundbites from others to paint an accurate picture. About All-in...it was all the bucks connections that put it together. Cody was still looked at as a hanger on at that time...thats why he was the villain in the BTE videos. They even had angles of this in NJPW & ROH where cody was basically with them for his own reasons...and as soon as he saw major talent coming to AEW and he wouldnt be the face, he was gone.
@@brokenkayfabe i just told you where its at. who you think cody is talking about changing the mission? and i referenced the BTE youtube series. Check it out when you get a chance.
If it was just Cody and Kenny without the bucks… aew would have been much better.. I’ve really grown to hate the bucks especially in the last two years..
Well tbf "he" didn't compare himself to Heyman. He said "other people" have said that he's MOST LIKE Heyman out of the choices being Heyman, Vince, and Crockett.
@mikeygraves16 true, but obviously, he takes great pride in being told that, which is why he touted it. If he was indeed told that by somebody, whoever said that should never give their opinion ever again.
Cody and punk coming back to wwe took wwe to new heights...now look at aew ratings and wwe ratings side by side and those who doubted that wwe only brought cody to embarrass him again...well that's not the case you know wwe brought cody because they watched his growth in the indies and they took it and made cody the new face of wwe after cena left his full time wrestling...they already had the biggest villain roman reigns but they need the biggest hero and they chose cody because that's what "BEST FOR BUSINESS!" Now look at cody he is the wwe champion!🙏❤ I love WWE more than anything and I am so glad that papa H is mending the mistakes made in the past!❤
Remember there were execs in wwe that wanted him to fail. Cody said so himself. Triple H wasnt in the conversations to bring him back that was Nick Khan and Vince Mcmahon. Just a fyi.
@@brokenkayfabe yeah but wm39 was the year for cody to win the wwe title but vince wanted to give roman another whole year...but it was triple h who then wanted him to win the wwe title this year which led to two of such iconic matches on both the nights!
@@SANDERZ_PLAYZ Cody losing at WM39 was not a Vince decision it was actually Roman and Paul Heyman that convinced Vince and Triple H that Cody should lose and in a way they were right because it made Cody winning at 40 that much better
So basically… I should not get excited for AEW going forward then… that’s all that tells me… Man, idk how else to say this… I’m happy for Cody… But man we’re in a completely fucked timeline and none of this should have happened…
I think this is the swerve of all time, that Cody will return to AEW one day, out of revenge for Dusty, Goldust and Stardust. Laugh all you want, he's still good friends with Bucks and Omega.
Cody's departure was the turning point for AEW downfall and finally it all shattered once for all when Tony Khan took side of Bucks and let their only one of the biggest star left in the roster that is CM PUNK!!!
I'm glad someone is talking about this. They were all right, Cody has been buried since he went back and no one else from AEW will ever come over .....
With Cody things had been improving week in and week out. With out Cody it started to fall apart and we see it today. Cody was the guy that had the actually wrestling business experience on a high level not just a rec center program like the bucks or Omega. They never really learned the business like he did and it shows in AEW now.
As much as I find there are good parts to this video, theres also many bad ones. Sometimes it feels like its just all over the place. But keep on making them and youll get better
great video but in the end when you said @31:09 "hes near the top", hes in the top for sure because Fanatics have said hes in the top 5, not just for WWE wrestlers. hes at the top for sure top 3 in all areas.
This is annoyingly frustrating. I like the video but the fact that it al feels like an intro means that a lot of questions are raised but not answered.

I can't really blame him either. If your boss isn't really being clear about your position in a company or your job when you need a clear and definitive answer, after a while you need a employer that's a bit more reliable and where you're feeling more happy.

Cody and then Punk going back to WWE is 2 of the biggest reasons why WWE is crushing AEW now.

Once Mox & claudio go back, AEW will be pretty much done
I don’t think Mox would go back but you never know

It’s not really complicated what happened. They mistreated him, so he left. Cody created AEW and was proud of the fact that he provided wrestlers the opportunity to consider their options and make more money for both organizations. So he left quietly. The EVPs thought it was going to be just as easy to do this to Punk. And Phil gave their brand a death blow it will never truly recover from.
love the kane avatar
The statement "WWE have diehard fans that will love him if he jumps ship" is very true. And ultimately he knew that, and that's why he did it. And it worked.
He deff did
Ive been saying since Cody left that Cody was the reason why AEW was great when it started. The 4 Pillars? Darby, Cody was behind his booking and made him a star. MJF, Cody noticed him after the initial All In and kept him at his side and helped his booking. Sammy Guevara, he reminded me of a young WCW Eddie Guerrero and Cody was the one who booked him and raised his flag, until Jericho suddenly noticed him after the work Cody put in and then claimed the success of Sammy.
The only one of the 4 Pillars that wasn't a Cody guy was Jungle Boy, who was under the wing of the Young Bucks.. FUNNY how Jungle Boy is the only one that doesn't feel like a star, huh? Even Sammy, if Sammy was under Cody's wing, he'd be like Darby or MJF, but Chris Jericho just wants to thrive off of Sammy's popularity. But Jungle Boy, even now as the scapegoat, he just feels like a flop and the energy drops when The Bucks or Jungle Boy pop up on screen, and ratings drop.
During the first year and a half, ALL of the EVPs were booking, as per Dave Meltzer. And you can tell, Cody booked segments, promos and matches felt like modern day NWA, Mid South, Championship Wrestling from Florida and good old fashion wrasslin'. It was structured, professional and entertaining because Cody had you emotionally invested.
Then Kenny's booking segments felt like amateur Dragon Gate, New Japan, and All Japan styled segments with some Joshi thrown in. It wasn't bad, but it felt sloppy and unprofessional.
Then The Bucks segments would happen and the shows felt like unhinged PWG shows with a budget. It was just a whiplash, going from good, structured Wrestling to unhinged backyard Wrestling and transitioned into the New Japan styled Wrestling.
Then the shows started falling apart during AEWs 2nd year, and he took away the booking powers of the EVPs, leaving them EVPs in name only. EXCEPT for Cody Rhodes, who was still let into the booking meetings and creative scheduling, as per Dave Meltzer.
So Cody was still involved with AEWs creative? I wonder why? Because even Tony could see that Cody was the best decision out of the EVPs to actually run the show.
But Cody eventually went through what CM Punk went through. Sound familiar? The Bucks didn't like that Cody had more power than them, so we starting hearing rumors that there were problems with The Elite and Cody was separating himself from The Bucks and Kenny. Funny how there's always rumors going around with The Bucks that result in whomever they dislike leaving.
It's no secret, the Young Bucks basically BULLY talent and run the West coast independent Wrestling scene. Wrestlers like EC3 and others have been coming out for so long that if The Bucks didn't like you, they and their friends would talk shit about you to other promoters so you wouldn't get booked. That's their MO, they spread rumors so they can capitalize on that.
But at the same time, I fully believe that Cody planned to return to WWE regardless. I believe he planned with Tony or the Elite that he would help them get AEW founded with sturdy foundations, then once he proved he was a star, he would leave for WWE.
Cody obviously has influence over his booking in WWE, and every storyline is similar to his runs in AEW. But done more professionally and structured.
And what did he say was his one no no in AEW when speaking with Chris Van Vliet? The mentioning of his father, Dusty Rhodes. He didn't want ANYONE in AEW mentioning his father and if they did, he would cut off the angle or story immediately. Bring in MJF, once MJF turned on Cody and they started their fued, MJF mentioned Dusty during one of his promos, Cody looked absolutely PISSED and didn't mention the jab. And suddenly Dusty was never mentioned again during their fued. But what was Cody's focal point in WWE? Literally the FIRST promo back? "I want to win the championship my father was screwed out of."
Cody always said he wanted to prove to WWE and Vince that he was a star, and he did exactly that. He has the blonde hair and blue eyes like Hogan, he speaks appropriately and clear while carrying himself in an executive manner with the suits and nice watch. If he stayed in AEW, I think he wouldn't mind it, but I firmly believe that returning to WWE was always the plan.
When Cody Rhodes went back to WWE was the same moment AEW started really going down in quality
Did you not see Cody's angle with Anthony Ogogo? That was awful
not every angle is going to be a homerun but overall we can agree that AEW has not been the same since Cody left.
I don't think it's about Cody, but it's about CM Punk's injury in May 2022, then Brawl Out, it's all messed up the booking real bad.
@@alonemax2912 tony khan ran out of big announcements
They still had Sting, but since Sting retired, AEW has PLUMMETED in ratings.
Cody Rhodes leaving aew is forever etched in history.
It was shocking
It created a seismic shift whose effects are still felt to this date
it felt like a very big deal to me , since he was the founding father (fk the elite) of AEW, on top of that , he returned back to wwe with the kingdom theme , it felt so surreal after watching him use that for 6 years in roh and indies befre returning to wwe in 2022.
Man wrestling podcasters can be the lamest. 3:23 there’s this geek holding a championship over his shoulder then the geek before that’s yelling at the top of his lungs about a predetermined sport
It is pathetic
It's one of the many issues with the aew fanbase, they are over invested idiots who care more about flips than stories, which is perfectly fine. The problem is the way they deal with it and act publicly
A $300-400 replica championship they bought with Patreon money no less. Getting their neck beard audience to finance their hobbies
God all these wrestle tubers are what's wrong with the current wrestling fan base. Too obsessed with how the sausage is made that they can't just enjoy what's being presented to them.
This should be always remembered when these “experts” try to pass off opinions as facts! They’ve been doing it for decades and only recently has it been so apparent that many if not most are full of nonsense.
You're so right about the momentum being taken away. A lot of the fan hate for Cody before he left is overblown now. Yes he was booed, but he was still beloved closing out the shows, still had the longest autograph line, still got some of the biggest reactions. Everyone was unhappy with him creatively. Him beating all the newcomers was bad. I wonder if he would have had a contract the booking would have been more coherent.
All tony had to do was give cody what he asked for Instead kf letting him be a free agent. He shouldnt of signed Keith Lee, Rusev. malakai black, brody king and like 10 other guys and gave the money to Cody. Also, He didnt need to become a free agent. Remeber he also had options that Tony Khan COULD HAVE JUST PICKED UP, like he did with the Bucks.
@@brokenkayfabe Yea at the end of the day Tony should have just forced it and kept trying for another year to fix it lol.
I really really really hope it wasn't Tony being for it but Cody being against all the WWE signings and that was one of the differences that couldn't be overcome.
Looking back at that time, who has really really worked out? Danielson? Cole has been decent overall but that's carried by the Max program. Black has had moments but the group is never healthy. Andrade gone. Was Swerve around then? He doesn't seem like the others for some reason. Just a string of misses.
@@brokenkayfabeIt is kinda weird TK didn’t pick up the one year option with Cody he did so for The Bucks Jericho and Moxley but i feel at this time TK didn’t care to lose Cody because he had Punk and Danielson
@brokenkayfabe no, that Anthony Ogogo story was horrible. Him taking himself out of the title picture was not very bright either and both were Cody's idea. Or that pointless feud with Sammy G? Why keep doing that with one guy, at the time, when you could pay however many others the same as one guy and try to do better? If Cody would've been willing to turn heel then, it could've been a different story. Best thing he did in AEW was getting squashed by the late Mr. Brodie Lee. Hindsight is always 20/20 though
@@blazedbeye3412 he had feuds with Andrede and Malaki black at that time as well. He gave Malakai what is still his only buzzworthy feud. He was very selfless in AEW and its a shame some people dont appreciate that. He tried to help Sammy after Jericho ruined him and look what happened after he left? Sammy hit some real bad times.
Man, I forgot how big of a deal AEW was when it launched, and how many "wrestling journalists" viewed it as a serious threat to WWE. And look now at how quickly it's become a complete joke. Last week NXT drew more viewers than all three AEW shows combined.
Lmao its crazy how badly those takes aged at the start of the video when news came out he left aew
It's just more proof that people need to stop listening to and supporting these clowns, especially "wrestling journalists" like Sean Ross Simp, Meltzer, Alvarez etc
@@johnstrika9170Alverez did call it tho. Gotta give him his props.
I wouldn’t say age badly I mean, look at his title run and how Roman reigns is being cheered more than. It’s a pattern if you want to be technical. That’s why I get why people are predicting heel for Cody. I look at it like the pattern still continues. I predict the rock beats Cody Rhodes for the WWE championship or Roman reigns. And Cody slowly leans into heel not right away but kind of like Austin from late 2000
@Nas-f3q the fact roman reigns is getting cheered more is irrelevant, all the newsletter marks were claiming cody was going back to the midcard and they were wrong.
@@1KQ_ I don’t think he’s going back to mid card . I can’t see that. He still gonna be in the main event scene, but I think that Roman reigns is just a better titleholder than Cody Rhodes, but I’m willing to give him a chance still even if it’s been a few months. He’s doing good in terms of like how shows and kids still like him so I mean he’s not doing too bad. Definitely bringing something.

AEW biggest mistake was lettIng Cody leave and join WWE.
agreed.
Letting Tony khan take the control of the company was the biggest mistake. He took the reins to early when he didn’t know how the wrestling business really works. He’s just a fan at first. Listening to Jericho was also a mistake, where he is with the learning tree just shows how he didn’t know what he was talking about exactly.

Hes not gonna

It’s because he is
Who gives a buck about the young bucks. Temu Hardy Boyz wannabes.
The bucks got what they wanted, they turned AEW into PWG, now we have PWG 2.0
A shittier more poorly booked version of pwg
I really hope that Cody gets to see this… this is really well done and deserves to be appreciated by everyone who loves wrestling. I love both companies and this is super unbiased and very good no doubt about it.
Hard to disagree with this. I stopped watching AEW regularly around the time Cody seemed to get disenfranchised. Now I don't watch at all. And it wasn't because of Cody on screen. But clearly in retrospect maybe Cody influenced my watching habits more than I thought!
If people truly understood what happened between Cody, the Elite, and NJPW, everything would make sense. The importance of New Japan in the landscape of pro wrestling has changed the industry.
It’s amazing to me how many of these wrestling pundits can’t spare the half a second to properly pronounce WWE.
Cody Rhodes leaving raised a red flag for what goes on behind the scenes at AEW, the CM Punk situation completely exposed it.
Thing with the spout monkey stuff is ince you've seen. The spot. It becomes less exciting. Will osprey and Kenny being exceptions, they still wow me but much prefer long term stories (Kenny does that well too, to be fair) but definitely over flippy spots and suicide dives all over the place
100% agree, I’m a corny guy and like real wrestling but Kenny omega has got to be one of those guilty pleasures to watch. He started this whole spot monkey shit but he does it the best. Hoping he comes back healthy and leaves that shitshow
I noticed trouble start when cardona appeared on aew but he didn't get signed ! The elite could sign all of their friends but Cody couldn't sign his best friend !
Had to make more room for Marko Stunt and the Dork Order
Tony Kahn picking the Bucks over cody is like picking Roseanne Barr over Sydney Sweeney
We will probably never know why cody left. But my theory is it had something to do with Brandi, possibly tony not wanting to renew the contract
What you mean? Cody said what it was here
@@brokenkayfabe take everything with a grain of salt. There could be NDA
Cody's plan was to ALWAYS go back to WWE
Im just going to say this Cody Rhodes he was a kid then he was trying to find himself I don't blame him at all he was wrestling when in his early 20s and I think it was hard for him step out of his dad shadow and yet he accomplished that I'm so proud of him
love it
I wish Cody stayed in AEW. I am still an AEW fan.
It's funny how wrong these so called wrestling reporters and experts were about the impact Cody would have in WWE. How many clips did I see of someone saying he'll be a mid carder in 2 months? Or back to Stardust? Or that they would punish him for working against WWE when he left? He's not only Main Evented the past two WrestleManias, but won the title in the best story-driven angle ever. He's become the biggest star in the industry, I think leaving AEW worked out okay for him.
Cody vs Roman made me watch mania for the first time in since 2001
Amazing documentary can't wait for part 2, million times better than anything wwe would have put out 🔥

Less than 4 minutes in and Cody proved those youtubers wrong like his life depended on it.
I thought when he came back, they were gonna sacrifice him like the “cheapos” the superstars used to wrestle on Saturday morning WWF.
Jeez honestly without Cody there's no aew? give me a break
@@AaronVentimiglia thats your opinion
2:15 Somehow, I missed all this discourse while it was happening, and it's hilarious with the benefit of hindsight. The second Cody walked out against Seth I assumed he'd be the guy who beat Roman for the belt, it's crazy that anyone who makes a living off wrestling commentary didn't see that.
And all the fans were convinced it was a work. Like insulting people for thinking it was real. Wild times.
I think that's bc Vince was the boss back then. Even I thought they were going to make Cody a Jobber, and I still think that if Vince was still the boss, he wouldn't have made Cody the champ
Is the young bucks ego too much for anyone in aew? I mean who runs it? Tony thru his dad's money? Or does Matt and Nick claim they want to run it? I mean I wish tony kahn let it go back to what it was and not let it be like wcw and others run the company.

Pretty clear Cody made the right choice and AEW has no one to blame but Tony…
You still have to wonder how they couldn’t make things work, loosing there 2 biggest stars in a years time has haunted them since.
Those wrestling fans believe they know how wrestling as a business works but they don't. Seting egos aside makes money you are supposed to build bridges not burn them.
lol 2:54 what a idiot he’s talking like he’s Cody’s agent and it aged like spoiled milk lol same with Alvarez…
good video. definitely a cody glazer though. Would love to hear this from other people's perspective and what cody should actually get credit for. Because no mention on him jumping on the young buck/omega gravy train in NJPW & ROH. no mention of him being the ring leader of antagonizing WWE. etc. Thats why the Bucks said he came after...because he did come after...
i did include footage of him saying he is going to cut vinces head...attacking wwe fanbase for starting rumors...i am a cody glazer for sure tho. if you look today at whos success has continued and who's careers have been ice cold you could draw some real conclusions...bucks sabotaged their own careers. Would The Bucks have put on ALL In w/o Cody? i doubt it.
@@brokenkayfabe but thats speculation. Cody career is where its at because of the WWE machine. AEW is still reeling from giving all the power to CM Punk who change the "mission" as cody would say it. He got rid of what people loved about AEW. You're kinda conflating situations to make your point. All your evidence for what happened backstage is just Cody's POV. You need soundbites from others to paint an accurate picture. About All-in...it was all the bucks connections that put it together. Cody was still looked at as a hanger on at that time...thats why he was the villain in the BTE videos. They even had angles of this in NJPW & ROH where cody was basically with them for his own reasons...and as soon as he saw major talent coming to AEW and he wouldnt be the face, he was gone.
well no one has ever said what you have claimed. if yes please show and ill do an updated vid.
