I've seen him in new japan playing heel and in the indies, he's really good like really good but do you think they'll do it knowing he's the biggest babyface of the company as of now? Idk...
Not unpopular that was his best character work. He's so stale and predictable now. Just boring at least the bloodline had lots of drama during the match. All those ppl crying about roman well ya got what ya wanted. A boring run of the mill stereotypical babyface
14:23 “i have a fan’s perspective now” made me die laughing 😂😂 bc like. my guy, in kayfabe you chokslammed his biggest threat to winning the title LMAOOO.
Sure, Cody can be a great heel but this man is LITERALLY the face of the company right now. There is no need for him to turn heel for the foreseeable future. Name a babyface that's gotten the reactions he's getting apart from Daniel Bryan in the last 10 years? He should turn heel when it feels right creatively to do so. Fantasy booking a heel turn just because he can be a great one doesn't mean it should happen. He's been champ for less than a month, let's slow down a bit.
He should run his story into the ground and mention his family until the crowd turns on him. And then only tease heel turns until it's time to bring up a new baby face from NXT
@@ssj2camaro21 WWE is more popular than it has been since the Attitude Era. Cody is a major part of that. You can hate him all you want. But the numbers don't lie. The guy makes them money. Has quality matches and storylines. What did you want to happen? Did you want Reigns to be champion and barely show up for another 4 years? Do you got any alternatives who should have beaten Reigns and could have had an interesting storyline? Because it's easy to hate on something without thinking of a good alternative.
@dominicsmith743 false, you are confusing Roman's reign that ended with Cody winning. You see the fans die off and get bored with midcard cody. Say all you want but cody is generic. If it wasn't for his theme song, people wouldn't even cheer for him? And more popular than the attitude era? Not even close, you know why? Because people PAID every live event because they could miss it. Now with 10 a month, you get it all free because it's not as great as you say it is. Codys matches are boring. He uses the same moves that he stole from other people and he's sucks on the mic. I cant stand the way he talks. You see wwe much differently than I do. But at the end of the day, cody is a midcard.
Takers sense of humor is fucking unreal! So cool to see my favorite wrestler growing up as a kid, be an even better dad, husband, and human being, though!
:Mark Deadpanning: "Do you think it was better than me vs. Giant Gonzalez at Wrestlemania" I think the main thing we missed out on with 30 something years of never breaking character is his sense of humor. So glad we get it today.
I'll never get tired of hearing Taker talk as his true self. It's a legit joy to hear stories and just watch him shoot the shit about anything and everything. I hope these podcasts keep going for a long time.
Mr Calloway, I just watched The Last Ride and wanted to express my gratitude that you chose to share what was obviously some very difficult times for you. You are a true gentleman, legend, professional, and a great man. What a story. Just incredible and I hope that you can now truly enjoy the great achievement that was your career with pride and joy, and enjoy a well earned rest with your beautiful wife and family. Your legacy will live on forever. ❤
Now I’m older I forget about wwf(E) but as a kid we all lived for wrestling at one point. The undertaker brought joy to millions of child hoods through out the world Love from uk 🇬🇧⚰️✝️
I didn't even realize it before now, but The Undertaker really was the last big "character" wrestler. At least in the North American scene. Almost every big-time wrestler uses their real names(variations included) or a stage name that sounds like a real name now.
The "there is no dumb questions, only dumb people asking them" is why Mark AKA Undertaker is still at 43 years old My favorite wrestler and person ever.
I think Cody should stay face for now. I think its healthy to have him as the face of WWE right now and with The Rock fued still hot. Altho he's shown to be a great heel, just leave that in his arsenal just in case of crowd turns or to brew a great storyline.
You can still be the face of the company and be heel. Sorry but he's so boring as champ it's the same we are the people speech every week. Cody vs aj? Yea who's actually excited to see that? We all know nothing is happening. Cody did his best character work as heel. Heel Cody would bring huge numbers
I'm a Chicano filmmaker/artist from Los Angeles, California and in 2017 I made a short film inspired by the Undertaker's undefeated streak but heavily dipped in Mexican culture called EL LUCHADOR as a love letter to wrestling, and to Mark especially. The project was born out of the heartbreak I felt from watching Taker's streak come to an end a few years prior, and being so invested in the Undertaker character, I wondered what it must've been like to go home that night to his family, imagining a setting psychological limbo filled with unacceptance and sorrow. I fell in love with the idea of a big, hulking wrestler in his gear sitting at the dinner table, unable to let go of the pro wrestling world but needing to learn to persevere and move forward, a positive message that wrestling fans and non-fans alike can enjoy when facing hard times. I wrote, produced and directed the movie, paid entirely out of my own pocket, and mixed it with my own Mexican/Latin American culture as a way to represent my community on screen. The film went on to compete at the San Diego Comic Con International Independent Film Festival 2022, among other festivals. But on June 26, 2020, I got to meet Mark at a signing at the Frank and Son Collectible Show in California, where I was able to give him a copy of the film. Since then, I've wondered if he had the chance to check it out now that he's not as busy in the ring. I've wondered if he enjoyed it, but soon made peace with the fact that he's probably way too preoccupied to give it a whirl, and that giving it to him in person was where the real victory was, making the project go full circle to its origin of inspiration. But seeing Mark now, retired and going around sharing incredible stories from the business on his one man show and the Six Feet Under podcast, I felt the emotions all come back to me: I need to reach out and see if Mark, or anyone around him, could nudge him just a little bit for a chance to spend a whopping 10 minutes soaking in a passion project that is a tribute to his career and what his presence meant to me and everyone who worked on this project. You can watch the film on my channel titled EL LUCHADOR. Please forgive me for the long message, but if you've made it this far, I cannot thank you enough. If this comment pulls at any heart strings, I'd love to chat more about Mark's thoughts, or perhaps even hearing him speak about it on the show. I feel myself shooting for the stars here, but I know it's what Mark would do. Thank you so much for all the inspiration over the years! ♥
The undertaker, honestly I don’t even pay attention to how many times he won titles, cuz I only care about his matches and the storyline behind it. That’s what make the undertaker character is so unique and special, cuz he is known for his matches and entrance and the interactions with other wrestlers. He is indeed a legendary and one of a kind.
That is the problem now there's very little character building certainly not like we seen in the 90s especially. Taker was the master at that field. It's great listening to his insight on stuff we watched years ago.
He should not turn heel. Sure the IWC hates him, but the pop he gets in arenas are undeniable. Also merch sales. And the IWC change their minds every week. If they were in charge of booking, we would have a new champion every week or two, and everyone would turn heel. Maybe wait a year or two before he turns heel. Depending on if the storyline calls for it. Think about it. Have be this man of the people fighting champion for a while. Eventually have the fans start to turn on him. They will cheer when he loses his title. Give him a few months of trying to get the title back and trying to be the good guy. When that fails, he snaps and then he turns heel. Rushing a heel turn when he is the biggest babyface in the company who just won the title makes no sense. Besides, I trust HHH to find ways to make his title reign more interesting. People are jumping the gun on this. As long as the don't give him the Hogan or Super Cena type booking, I think his babyface run as champion can be entertaining. Hell even Cena had a good babyface title run from late 2006 to late 2007. Most of him being botched happened after WWE turned PG and made him the goofy colorful t shirt guy that rarely put anyone over clean. And that was Vince booking. Give HHH a chance to see what he can do with a face champion.
We need more logical wrestling fans like you man. You understand why this whole "Cody turning heel" convo seems so out of place, because he's just won the title, and already we're fantasy booking a heel turn that won't make any sense.
@@givenmabussi Right especially with how many people complained about Reigns the last couple years. I mean I liked parts of that title reign. But a heel title reign can only last so long. Eventually the babyface has to win. People wanted a change. They got it. Now they're complaining.
The IWC hates him? Literally only people that wanted Roman to retain and AEW fanboys that aren’t over losing him are pretty much the only two that shit over Cody.
My god. that Cody Heel run where ya'll talked about him bragging about how his daddy didn't wear no $4,000 suit. My daddy couldn't do what I do. Absolute goosebumps. That would be such a compelling story but i think they save that for towards the end of his career. The emotion and the gravitas from the words he'll speak should they choose to take that character down that arc would be such compelling not only character development but almost must see tv because people wouldn't believe it initaly that he'd say such things. Especially given he's so emotional with his family. Personally i'd like to see that he has this long babyface run, gets it all out of his system and really helps other heels and faces really shine. enjoys the limelight for a time. Then he loses the strap, flips, then goes on that mega heel run ya'll were talking about. He'd DIG into his father and beat down the babyfaces on the come up. Puts one over towards the end of that run. Then returns somewhere down the line as a babyface again, retiring by putting over the next big face.
I agree with this. Have him turn hell when we don’t expect it. Turn Roman face now and it will work. Roman has tons of support now after losing the title.
Man when he said that I legit imagine how much nuclear heat cody would get as a heel. When the time comes for cody to turn heel, it will be generational.
I don't think its necessary for him to turn heel after the win as it's still very early. If he's ever gonna be a heel there needs to be an angle that has to connect just right to not make him outcasted like Roman was in his Big Dog era. Likewise, a continued Babyface character needs to be handled delicately with a justified storyline that's not too predictable to the current state that he is in. Adding in I don't think he has to have like a historic long reign under his belt for him to carry that title. Again it would take careful booking for someone, either a heel or a face, to carry on the legacy of that title. We had Roman who essentially built that Undisputed title from the tremendous Bloodline angle that he's doing, making that stable somewhat of a personification of a final boss like the Undertaker. And then we now have Cody, who with his career alone as a wrestler in the industry permanently rocketed the title to new heights. If someone has to hold that title, it has to be someone that equates what Roman did in his career and to what Cody did as a wrestler in this industry. It's like essentially saying " You may beat us, but can you handle the insurmountable weight of the title that we have poured from our career to that belt"?
I think Cody is doing great, the reactions to him in the arenas is fantastic, his meet and greets are wrapped around buildings. I just think we are in the wwe’s version of Christmas (Wrestlemania) til NYE (backlash) so we don’t have any new story lines or anything of substance. After backlash we are gonna get better stuff. He’s doing great, I love him and so do a lot of other people. People are afraid of change, we are coming off of a crazy title reign that we’ve never seen before by an amazing heel and champion in Roman reigns. Give Cody sometime.
Only by the Cody crybabies though. Reigns and Rock got far more cheers than Cody, and Cena never had 80% of wrestling fans saying that he's just an over pushed mid-carder.
In person, you can't hear any boos...its not mostly......its 95% or more cheers. The only ones boo'n are the salty Roman fans and theres like 10 of em in the crowd lol
I think the next story for Cody Rhodes is to go up against a really good heel on the hunt for his title. Maybe that heel takes the title after a few matches and rematches and then Cody does a 180 and turns heel himself either because he is upset the fans turn on him for losing the title or he becomes arrogant and turns heel after defeating the heel after a series of brutal matches. Maybe it gets personal? I think Cody turning to the dark side like Hogan did back in the NWO days could be very compelling.
Ohhh… man, I think he has the 90s-kid energy and fandom to really lean into something like that if that makes sense. Would be interesting if he ends up a Paul Heyman guy to continue the trend of great heel work with Pauly dangerous over his shoulder.
@@dotJPG. Agreed this has so much potential. Seeing the reactions from all the kids crying, cheering when Cody won, give it a few of just building him higher and higher. Then crush their hearts by turning him into an unstoppable super villain.
I've always said this, wrestling fans always tend to lean on heels or anti-heroes because they naturally come off alot more charismatic and seem more interesting, have you wanting to know what happens next, what you'll do next time. With faces it's hard to get people behind you because you're a "save the world", like-wise type wrestler or always wanting to do right, it gets boring for people. HHH even said it at the wm40 night 2 press conference "It's hard to be a babyface and have people like you", you could even make the argument in movies and tv shows, don't the theme songs for villains sound alot more intriguing than the heroes, more boss-like/swagish or cool than the good guys? I love cody, I do feel like fans feel a certain way and don't wanna do it yet where they boo him until they feel they have to because that's what they did with seth rollins when he was a babyface in 2019, eventually down the line they started to feel he wasn't good at all. I think he'll stay face because he can't go heel when he's their no.1 babyface and just overall face of the company, they needed or wanted someone in that caliber to dethrone a boss heel like roman reigns and it worked. Idk I don't think it's right for him to go heel, kids buy his merchandise and look up to him, he's very over with fans and they sing his theme song most of the time he comes out, maybe he should lose the title in the course of 5, maybe 6 months then regain it back through time still being the face of the company so they can keep him doing something for him idk.
Cody needs to go heel to save his career or go back to AEW n help out Tony Khan with his company 😂 His fans are little kids you are right Little kids need to know good n evil though Cody needs to be buried in the back doing office work & doing make a wish foundation the lost treasures episodes doing round table Discussion with the legends rivals Cody is stopping his own momentum because he CARES WAY TO MUCH about His IMAGE..that's fine It's making the belt look bad though - My Opinion
@@LadyTreez420well I still think he's over with fans and I do believe they like him, think there's plenty of feuds they can put him in until the right time comes for him to lose which I believe should be atleast 7 or 8 months. And it has to be against a heel in my opinion, I would like randy orton to take the championship off him.
@@ChrisBl33p I may have not explained it well. I do that a lot. Lol I just like him Period person wise and or his character that is MY Opinion/Thoughts You must be a Cody Crybaby.. this why we have him because of you Guys.. thanx now I HAVE to see Him SMH I will not change channels I will not hold my thoughts or Tongue.because I wasn't brought up in this Cry baby Generation of wrestling fans. So take what I said and leave it here don't let it consume You. Have a good day And yes bury him - meaning in the back offices. His a major kiss ass, I don't like ass kisers. He can't be himself because Cody is too wimpy kid. Ya I have a lot of Issues with Cody as A person.. I'll leave it alone. Don't write me back.. thank you have a good day 🫡
AEW fans had a different idea. There's a certain point where they don't have much say in the matter. Like Taker said, Cena was reaction heel part of the time.
I think it comes down to merchandise sales. If he's topping the list of merch sales as a face, why rock the boat and turn him heel? That's what happened to Steve Austin. He turned heel and aligned himself with Vince, and his merch sales took a hit, and he immediately regretted it.
To be honest, after three of having a heel champion, it would be nice to have a baby face champion. Not an anti-hero, a true superman/captain america-esque hero who fights the bad guys and is a good example to his fellow hero's. Just my two cents, great podcast guys.
Part of it is how horrible the booking was for some of these faces. People liked Rock when he was a full timer babyface champion. People liked Austin as a face champion. Same with guys like Taker or Bret Hart during their face title reigns. Also Hogan in the 80s. Although that style of booking is outdated. Even Cena had a great year long title reign from 2006 to 2007 as a face. But then you got PG Era Cena being Superman. Rey Mysterio got booked like a chump in 2006. Seth Rollins and Kofi Kingston's 2019 title reigns were booked pretty badly. AJ Styles from Wrestlemania 34 onwards. Hell, CM Punk's long title reign in 2011 and 2012 was botched. First they always put Cena ahead of him as the main event. Even if Cena was wrestling someone like John Laurintis or Big Show. Then they turned him heel for no reason half way through despite him being the most popular wrestler in the company at the time. Point is Vince McMahon was involved in all of these. A face champion can be interesting with good storylines and matches. Maybe HHH can do it better. I mean Seth Rollins recent reign was not perfect. Especially when Shinsuke and Balor had more interesting stories than he did. But Rollins story picked up towards the end despite him not being able to compete for a while. Rollins story of challenging the bloodline and losing the title at Mania was one of the most interesting things of an incredibly stacked Wrestlemania.
wrong. Cm Punk, Seth Rollins, Daniel Bryan, Aj Styles, Hulk Hogan etc,... were ALL successfull long baby face championship runs. The Fans didnt turn on them. It is very possible. If you dont think its possible then you are not a true fan of the product instead you are a fan of heels. I enjoy both heel and face runs as long as the storylines, promos and matches are good.
@@heartattack3579 Most of the issues that happened in those runs were due to bad booking decisions or in Daniel Bryan's case bad timing with his injury. Not necessarily the ability of these guys to be a good face champion. The fans however did turn on Seth Rollins at the end of his 2019 title run. Mostly because of how badly booked his match against the Fiend was, his Baron Corbin feud, and some things he said on twitter. As for Styles, some people were upset at the nonsensical dick kicking storyline with Shinsuke. As well as them wanting Shinsuke and then Samoa Joe to beat him.Although I didn't really notice the live crowds booing him.
@@heartattack3579 Hogan was never a babyface though. He was the guy that cheated just as much if not more than his opponent but never got called for it. He was a heel that the crowd cheered for because he was a 'real American' that promoted the hypocrisy that Americans stood for. C,M. Punk was never a babyface. A.J. was a heel when he was champion and Seth Rollins had far better reigns as a heel than that short little stint he had as a face. They weren't really cheering for him, they were cheering against HHH.
So I see Cody turning heel as well. I can see the situation where WWE celebrates The American Dream and all that came with Dusty Rhodes. An extended celebration where Cody steadily gets annoyed with everybody talking about the accolades of his father and eventually even his brother gets talked about more than Cody does. At first Cody responds with a proud grin, then it's an annoyed nod of the head, moving into an eye roll, moving into more obvious responses to the constant Dusty and Dustin worship. This all culminates at a PLE where he is wrestling a Dusty Rhodes guy. Only second to Roman Reigns as far as importance. The opponent is besting Cody leading to some underhanded maneuvers that forces the opponent shout, " What are you doing, that's no way the son of Dusty Rhodes would wrestle somebody". This pisses Cody off and he tries to cheat one last time and succeeds, but the ref sees the rule breaking action and calls for the bell. DQ, Cody retains. Cody confronts this opponent offers his hand, the opponent with hesitation grasps Cody's hand and the handshake turns into a hug. Cody raises the hand of his opponent for the audience. This moment leads to the opponent to audibly say Your father would be so proud of you Dustin I mean Cody. Those words with the crowd chanting Dusty,Dusty,Dusty makes Cody snap and he attacks his opponent bringing nuclear heat and confusion. On the following RAW Cody changed the spoken word part of his entrance music...Wrestling has only one great member of the Rhodes family. The once in the ring Cody tells all that what he did for two years against the Bloodline moved him further ahead in success than his brother or his father could ever achieve. He degrades his family and departs the ring only after he says Fuck the American Dream, Fuck Dusty Rhodes.
Cody vs heel rock where Cody wins , then rock vs Roman at survivor series war games for bloodline civil war part 2, then heel Cody vs face Seth at royal rumble where Cody finally loses and finally Roman vs Seth at WrestleMania for the WWE championship to complete the saga.
Cody will basically by the reincarnation of John Cena. A lot of the fans will turn on him and he'll probably get stale but will always be the ultra mega baby face of the company.
You can't turn Cody heel. The next Mania is Face Roman vs Face Cody. You have that amazing headline match. Roman has gotta go to Sami, have him help fix things with Jey and Jimmy, fix Jey and Jimmy. Huge Redemption Story is right there.

I want to see Cody turn into a Flairesque champion. Amp up the suits, the rolexes, the suave look and sheer arrogance. Then have the story be bringing him back to being his father's son.
The heel turn has to come organically. Let him be the perfect baby face for as long as possible, but when the time come and people inevitably get bored of it and begin to boo he shows subtle hints of annoyance. It’s the Homelander arc. He acts nice to the public because they treat him a certain way. He craves the validity, until one day… “ I don't make mistakes. I'm not "just like the rest of you." I'm stronger. I'm smarter. I'm better. I am better. I'm not some weak-kneed f**king crybaby that goes around f**king apologizing all the time. And why the f**k would you want me to be? All my life, people have tried to control me. My whole life. Rich people, powerful people have tried to muzzle me, cancel me, keep me impotent and obedient, like I'm a f**king puppet. You know what? It worked. Because I allowed it to work. And guess what. If they can control me, then you can bet your a$$ they can control you. They already do. You just don't realize it. I'm done. I am done apologizing. I am done being persecuted for my strength. You people should be thanking Christ that I am who and what I am, because you need me. You need me to save you! You’re not the real heroes, I’m the real hero”
Turn Cody heel when we least expect it. I love the way the crowd has got behind him and I think if they do this right they really make a huge move when he turns heel. Run the AEW angle as well as independent scene. He made himself who he is and he came to take what he wanted from the company. The way rock was still cheered as a heel. They can do that with Cody times 10. Turn Roman face and turn Cody heel. My gosh there is potential.
I don’t if you read comments, but I have a funny undertaker story, I was with the Rock at MSG and I was standing in a doorway to the locker room with the Rock to my left and Austin to my right and they knew that I was an Undertaker Mark,they said you were coming back that night, anyways as we were talking, a limo pulled up and you got out and all I remember was telling them to put me over while I was looking at you terrified raising my hand and I hear the two of them laughing and I guess they ran away because you were looking past me at them and as you walked towards me, I raised my hand and I said “hello Mr. undertaker my name is Marc,Can I get a picture with you, and then you said later” anyways after you shook my hand and walked by I had a pee spot in my jean shorts ha ha ha. I’ve never lived that down to this day.
As a kid being wowed by seeing the lights go out and taker appearing in the ring to seeing cool ass Mark sitting drinking a happy dad talking junk really makes me smile.

First few minutes, brought up the frank sinatra jack daniel. Got a bottle that I've been saving for a special occasion for the past 10 years, marriage, child... never seemed the right time, watching (the legend) taker podcast on a Monday night might be it
I love the hero arc of Cody, but guys, look up his work as heel. He is actually phenomenal at it, plus like the guys said, the option of turning on the legacy of his father? Imagine the HEAT of that. Exciting future.
You wanna make money on a Cody heel turn? Cody gets smug, starts shitting on Dusty. Who better to shut his mouth than big brother Dustin? Cmon. THAT is money waiting to be made. Also, the "he misspoke" bit.. comedy gold. Thank you guys for such a wonderful show. Great work all around. Thank you.

I don’t know if this is an unpopular opinion or not, but I like most of Cody’s heel work way more than any of his face work.
Stardust is the best heel turn I don't like the Dashing and Undashing gimmick. Hissing is not an easy thing to do.

Sure, Cody can be a great heel but this man is LITERALLY the face of the company right now. There is no need for him to turn heel for the foreseeable future. Name a babyface that's gotten the reactions he's getting apart from Daniel Bryan in the last 10 years?
He should turn heel when it feels right creatively to do so. Fantasy booking a heel turn just because he can be a great one doesn't mean it should happen.
He's been champ for less than a month, let's slow down a bit.
He should run his story into the ground and mention his family until the crowd turns on him. And then only tease heel turns until it's time to bring up a new baby face from NXT
Yep Cody should stay babyface as long as possible.
Cody is garbage. You ll see. The face of wwe? Lol please. Cody is a midcard. Wwe sucks now that he is champion
@@ssj2camaro21 WWE is more popular than it has been since the Attitude Era. Cody is a major part of that. You can hate him all you want. But the numbers don't lie. The guy makes them money. Has quality matches and storylines. What did you want to happen? Did you want Reigns to be champion and barely show up for another 4 years? Do you got any alternatives who should have beaten Reigns and could have had an interesting storyline? Because it's easy to hate on something without thinking of a good alternative.
@dominicsmith743 false, you are confusing Roman's reign that ended with Cody winning. You see the fans die off and get bored with midcard cody. Say all you want but cody is generic. If it wasn't for his theme song, people wouldn't even cheer for him? And more popular than the attitude era? Not even close, you know why? Because people PAID every live event because they could miss it. Now with 10 a month, you get it all free because it's not as great as you say it is. Codys matches are boring. He uses the same moves that he stole from other people and he's sucks on the mic. I cant stand the way he talks. You see wwe much differently than I do. But at the end of the day, cody is a midcard.

Now I’m older I forget about wwf(E) but as a kid we all lived for wrestling at one point. The undertaker brought joy to millions of child hoods through out the world Love from uk 🇬🇧⚰️✝️
Something about The Undertaker talking about what flavors he likes is so funny to me lol and then he was like wait we’re recording. Lol
I didn't even realize it before now, but The Undertaker really was the last big "character" wrestler. At least in the North American scene. Almost every big-time wrestler uses their real names(variations included) or a stage name that sounds like a real name now.
Man undertaker is the best
*The* best. He seems like such a chill dude.
Best podcast going rn I love hearing his insight
I could listen to him talk about anything for hours. I been scraping RUclips for interviews and such the past week 😂
Truely the greatest of all time
I need to subscribe on Spotify
Out of all the wrestling podcast/RUclips channels , undertaker and Maven have the best ones .
The "there is no dumb questions, only dumb people asking them" is why Mark AKA Undertaker is still at 43 years old My favorite wrestler and person ever.
So weird seeing this side of the phenom! But it is great to know mark through six feet under podcast!
I think Cody should stay face for now. I think its healthy to have him as the face of WWE right now and with The Rock fued still hot. Altho he's shown to be a great heel, just leave that in his arsenal just in case of crowd turns or to brew a great storyline.
You can still be the face of the company and be heel. Sorry but he's so boring as champ it's the same we are the people speech every week. Cody vs aj? Yea who's actually excited to see that? We all know nothing is happening. Cody did his best character work as heel. Heel Cody would bring huge numbers
@@Unethical_Ethical_HackTipsI'm excited lmao who tf doesn't wanna watch a match between them
The amount of hate cody is getting makes me like him even more
@jeus_cnt
@@Unethical_Ethical_HackTipsIt's his first defense,chill.
That's exactly what I'm thinking. Their saving the Rock for when they need Codyto be the underdog again to win the crowd back on his side.
I'm a Chicano filmmaker/artist from Los Angeles, California and in 2017 I made a short film inspired by the Undertaker's undefeated streak but heavily dipped in Mexican culture called EL LUCHADOR as a love letter to wrestling, and to Mark especially.
The project was born out of the heartbreak I felt from watching Taker's streak come to an end a few years prior, and being so invested in the Undertaker character, I wondered what it must've been like to go home that night to his family, imagining a setting psychological limbo filled with unacceptance and sorrow. I fell in love with the idea of a big, hulking wrestler in his gear sitting at the dinner table, unable to let go of the pro wrestling world but needing to learn to persevere and move forward, a positive message that wrestling fans and non-fans alike can enjoy when facing hard times. I wrote, produced and directed the movie, paid entirely out of my own pocket, and mixed it with my own Mexican/Latin American culture as a way to represent my community on screen. The film went on to compete at the San Diego Comic Con International Independent Film Festival 2022, among other festivals. But on June 26, 2020, I got to meet Mark at a signing at the Frank and Son Collectible Show in California, where I was able to give him a copy of the film. Since then, I've wondered if he had the chance to check it out now that he's not as busy in the ring. I've wondered if he enjoyed it, but soon made peace with the fact that he's probably way too preoccupied to give it a whirl, and that giving it to him in person was where the real victory was, making the project go full circle to its origin of inspiration.
But seeing Mark now, retired and going around sharing incredible stories from the business on his one man show and the Six Feet Under podcast, I felt the emotions all come back to me: I need to reach out and see if Mark, or anyone around him, could nudge him just a little bit for a chance to spend a whopping 10 minutes soaking in a passion project that is a tribute to his career and what his presence meant to me and everyone who worked on this project. You can watch the film on my channel titled EL LUCHADOR.
Please forgive me for the long message, but if you've made it this far, I cannot thank you enough. If this comment pulls at any heart strings, I'd love to chat more about Mark's thoughts, or perhaps even hearing him speak about it on the show. I feel myself shooting for the stars here, but I know it's what Mark would do.
Thank you so much for all the inspiration over the years! ♥
Is this movie out where can I see it ?
The undertaker, honestly I don’t even pay attention to how many times he won titles, cuz I only care about his matches and the storyline behind it. That’s what make the undertaker character is so unique and special, cuz he is known for his matches and entrance and the interactions with other wrestlers. He is indeed a legendary and one of a kind.
That is the problem now there's very little character building certainly not like we seen in the 90s especially. Taker was the master at that field. It's great listening to his insight on stuff we watched years ago.
56:35 Taker's face and his comeback after Matt said the "Stone Template" comment 💀 good one Matt 🤣
Now that Undertaker has pulled back the curtain a bit I would love to hear him talk about that Raw ladder match with Jeff Hardy.
He can still be a face but I wish he’d put on the same kind of edge he had while “in the indies.”
lol cody said that the rock has Little Dick syndrome and that he was gonna rip Paul heymans throat out on national tv... Is that edgy enough ya 😂
Let Raw move onto Netflix I feel like we in for something gritty in the next year. Less sensorship with Netflix in the play now
“How big of a tablet was it” 😂😂 Takers reaction was so funny
He should not turn heel. Sure the IWC hates him, but the pop he gets in arenas are undeniable. Also merch sales. And the IWC change their minds every week. If they were in charge of booking, we would have a new champion every week or two, and everyone would turn heel. Maybe wait a year or two before he turns heel. Depending on if the storyline calls for it. Think about it. Have be this man of the people fighting champion for a while. Eventually have the fans start to turn on him. They will cheer when he loses his title. Give him a few months of trying to get the title back and trying to be the good guy. When that fails, he snaps and then he turns heel. Rushing a heel turn when he is the biggest babyface in the company who just won the title makes no sense. Besides, I trust HHH to find ways to make his title reign more interesting. People are jumping the gun on this. As long as the don't give him the Hogan or Super Cena type booking, I think his babyface run as champion can be entertaining. Hell even Cena had a good babyface title run from late 2006 to late 2007. Most of him being botched happened after WWE turned PG and made him the goofy colorful t shirt guy that rarely put anyone over clean. And that was Vince booking. Give HHH a chance to see what he can do with a face champion.
We need more logical wrestling fans like you man.
You understand why this whole "Cody turning heel" convo seems so out of place, because he's just won the title, and already we're fantasy booking a heel turn that won't make any sense.
@@givenmabussi Right especially with how many people complained about Reigns the last couple years. I mean I liked parts of that title reign. But a heel title reign can only last so long. Eventually the babyface has to win. People wanted a change. They got it. Now they're complaining.
@@dominicsmith743 Wrestling fans don't know what they want.
Yup,IWC is detached from fans in the arena most of the time.
The IWC hates him? Literally only people that wanted Roman to retain and AEW fanboys that aren’t over losing him are pretty much the only two that shit over Cody.
My god. that Cody Heel run where ya'll talked about him bragging about how his daddy didn't wear no $4,000 suit. My daddy couldn't do what I do. Absolute goosebumps. That would be such a compelling story but i think they save that for towards the end of his career. The emotion and the gravitas from the words he'll speak should they choose to take that character down that arc would be such compelling not only character development but almost must see tv because people wouldn't believe it initaly that he'd say such things. Especially given he's so emotional with his family.
Personally i'd like to see that he has this long babyface run, gets it all out of his system and really helps other heels and faces really shine. enjoys the limelight for a time. Then he loses the strap, flips, then goes on that mega heel run ya'll were talking about. He'd DIG into his father and beat down the babyfaces on the come up. Puts one over towards the end of that run. Then returns somewhere down the line as a babyface again, retiring by putting over the next big face.
I agree with this. Have him turn hell when we don’t expect it. Turn Roman face now and it will work. Roman has tons of support now after losing the title.
Man when he said that I legit imagine how much nuclear heat cody would get as a heel. When the time comes for cody to turn heel, it will be generational.
I like how Taker pumps the brakes on that Roman dig about his champion defences. Respect
Watching taker just be a regular person is something i didn't know i needed in my life
I don't think its necessary for him to turn heel after the win as it's still very early. If he's ever gonna be a heel there needs to be an angle that has to connect just right to not make him outcasted like Roman was in his Big Dog era. Likewise, a continued Babyface character needs to be handled delicately with a justified storyline that's not too predictable to the current state that he is in.
Adding in I don't think he has to have like a historic long reign under his belt for him to carry that title. Again it would take careful booking for someone, either a heel or a face, to carry on the legacy of that title. We had Roman who essentially built that Undisputed title from the tremendous Bloodline angle that he's doing, making that stable somewhat of a personification of a final boss like the Undertaker. And then we now have Cody, who with his career alone as a wrestler in the industry permanently rocketed the title to new heights. If someone has to hold that title, it has to be someone that equates what Roman did in his career and to what Cody did as a wrestler in this industry. It's like essentially saying " You may beat us, but can you handle the insurmountable weight of the title that we have poured from our career to that belt"?
Cody Rhodes is A Babyface hero himself.
"how big of a stone tablet was that"😂😂😂sometimes a dad joke like that hits perfect
Wait you fly to houston every week just to shoot a podcast. Not knocking it just shows some dedication thats rare nowadays.
Maven sent me here
Respect for his kids prank that was amazing. Who knew Dead Men do tell tales. And are great dads
I think Cody is doing great, the reactions to him in the arenas is fantastic, his meet and greets are wrapped around buildings. I just think we are in the wwe’s version of Christmas (Wrestlemania) til NYE (backlash) so we don’t have any new story lines or anything of substance. After backlash we are gonna get better stuff. He’s doing great, I love him and so do a lot of other people. People are afraid of change, we are coming off of a crazy title reign that we’ve never seen before by an amazing heel and champion in Roman reigns. Give Cody sometime.
PLEASE BRING STONE COLD AND ROCK IN A PODCAST TO TALK ABOUT GOOD OLD DAYS WITH THE UNDERTAKER
Mavin brought me here.
Cena was half cheers half boos. Cody gets mostly cheers
Amazing that the co-host didn’t even know that.
@@vpg8000co host seems like a leech stuck to taker, as a podcast as big as this I hope they change this co host guy soon
But then again people are complaining saying that he's boring
Only by the Cody crybabies though. Reigns and Rock got far more cheers than Cody, and Cena never had 80% of wrestling fans saying that he's just an over pushed mid-carder.
In person, you can't hear any boos...its not mostly......its 95% or more cheers. The only ones boo'n are the salty Roman fans and theres like 10 of em in the crowd lol
56:43 Taker with the Little House on The Prairie reference 😂😂
Ya wtf was he talking about it was hard to keep up after he said him and mom
I think the next story for Cody Rhodes is to go up against a really good heel on the hunt for his title. Maybe that heel takes the title after a few matches and rematches and then Cody does a 180 and turns heel himself either because he is upset the fans turn on him for losing the title or he becomes arrogant and turns heel after defeating the heel after a series of brutal matches. Maybe it gets personal? I think Cody turning to the dark side like Hogan did back in the NWO days could be very compelling.
Undertaker being Mark is actually quite entertaining lol
I, too, are here because of Mavan. I did know about this channel, and I am now glad to subscribe. Hello Mark and hello all
The day Cody turns heel is the day we get homelander Cody Rhodes. That gimmick will make him a bonafide legit heel
Has the potential to be epic, with the right baby face.
Ohhh… man, I think he has the 90s-kid energy and fandom to really lean into something like that if that makes sense. Would be interesting if he ends up a Paul Heyman guy to continue the trend of great heel work with Pauly dangerous over his shoulder.
@@dotJPG. Agreed this has so much potential. Seeing the reactions from all the kids crying, cheering when Cody won, give it a few of just building him higher and higher. Then crush their hearts by turning him into an unstoppable super villain.
He acknowledged the cucumber legend very subtly
I love that Cody is wrestling every week and not just PPV events.
1:11 Same here, never liked the taste of watermelon.
Here here that and cucumber 😅
I love how they started out with a sponsor from an alcoholic drink and spent the rest of the promo talking about a different alcoholic drink.😂
I've always said this, wrestling fans always tend to lean on heels or anti-heroes because they naturally come off alot more charismatic and seem more interesting, have you wanting to know what happens next, what you'll do next time. With faces it's hard to get people behind you because you're a "save the world", like-wise type wrestler or always wanting to do right, it gets boring for people. HHH even said it at the wm40 night 2 press conference "It's hard to be a babyface and have people like you", you could even make the argument in movies and tv shows, don't the theme songs for villains sound alot more intriguing than the heroes, more boss-like/swagish or cool than the good guys? I love cody, I do feel like fans feel a certain way and don't wanna do it yet where they boo him until they feel they have to because that's what they did with seth rollins when he was a babyface in 2019, eventually down the line they started to feel he wasn't good at all. I think he'll stay face because he can't go heel when he's their no.1 babyface and just overall face of the company, they needed or wanted someone in that caliber to dethrone a boss heel like roman reigns and it worked. Idk I don't think it's right for him to go heel, kids buy his merchandise and look up to him, he's very over with fans and they sing his theme song most of the time he comes out, maybe he should lose the title in the course of 5, maybe 6 months then regain it back through time still being the face of the company so they can keep him doing something for him idk.
Cody needs to go heel to save his career or go back to AEW n help out Tony Khan with his company 😂
His fans are little kids you are right
Little kids need to know good n evil though
Cody needs to be buried in the back doing office work & doing make a wish foundation the lost treasures episodes doing round table Discussion with the legends rivals
Cody is stopping his own momentum because he CARES WAY TO MUCH about His IMAGE..that's fine It's making the belt look bad though - My Opinion
@@LadyTreez420 What the fuck is this take? Buried for what?
@@LadyTreez420well I still think he's over with fans and I do believe they like him, think there's plenty of feuds they can put him in until the right time comes for him to lose which I believe should be atleast 7 or 8 months. And it has to be against a heel in my opinion, I would like randy orton to take the championship off him.
@@ChrisBl33p I may have not explained it well. I do that a lot. Lol
I just like him Period person wise and or his character that is MY Opinion/Thoughts
You must be a Cody Crybaby.. this why we have him because of you Guys.. thanx now I HAVE to see Him
SMH I will not change channels
I will not hold my thoughts or Tongue.because I wasn't brought up in this Cry baby Generation of wrestling fans. So take what I said and leave it here don't let it consume You. Have a good day
And yes bury him - meaning in the back offices. His a major kiss ass, I don't like ass kisers. He can't be himself because Cody is too wimpy kid. Ya I have a lot of Issues with Cody as A person..
I'll leave it alone.
Don't write me back.. thank you have a good day 🫡
@@sonic1fan94 I like Randy Orton..that is fine with Me. 🫡😁
Did taker just call us stupid? 😅Maybe cody can have a heel run down the line, but right now I think that won't change for a while.
I think Cody has stated that he's never wants to be a heel ever again.
AEW fans had a different idea. There's a certain point where they don't have much say in the matter.
Like Taker said, Cena was reaction heel part of the time.
Bray Wyatt also stated the Fiend was never coming back. Yet had a new concept mask and outfit being put together. Wrestling is a work
Came from mavens channel
Once again this podcast is 🔥 great job gents
Maven Huffman brought me here

Hanging drywall sheets and listining to taker. The crew is loving it. Thanks big guy.
Ric Flair said: If you wanna be the man you gotta beat the man.
I think it comes down to merchandise sales. If he's topping the list of merch sales as a face, why rock the boat and turn him heel?
That's what happened to Steve Austin. He turned heel and aligned himself with Vince, and his merch sales took a hit, and he immediately regretted it.
Cats and Taker fear cucumber😂
To be honest, after three of having a heel champion, it would be nice to have a baby face champion. Not an anti-hero, a true superman/captain america-esque hero who fights the bad guys and is a good example to his fellow hero's.
Just my two cents, great podcast guys.
I think the wrestling universe doesn't like any babyface as a top guy.
Even back then, a heel is naturally a loved guy
Yeah but they also get mad at heels for cheating. They don't make any sense.
Part of it is how horrible the booking was for some of these faces. People liked Rock when he was a full timer babyface champion. People liked Austin as a face champion. Same with guys like Taker or Bret Hart during their face title reigns. Also Hogan in the 80s. Although that style of booking is outdated. Even Cena had a great year long title reign from 2006 to 2007 as a face. But then you got PG Era Cena being Superman. Rey Mysterio got booked like a chump in 2006. Seth Rollins and Kofi Kingston's 2019 title reigns were booked pretty badly. AJ Styles from Wrestlemania 34 onwards. Hell, CM Punk's long title reign in 2011 and 2012 was botched. First they always put Cena ahead of him as the main event. Even if Cena was wrestling someone like John Laurintis or Big Show. Then they turned him heel for no reason half way through despite him being the most popular wrestler in the company at the time. Point is Vince McMahon was involved in all of these. A face champion can be interesting with good storylines and matches. Maybe HHH can do it better. I mean Seth Rollins recent reign was not perfect. Especially when Shinsuke and Balor had more interesting stories than he did. But Rollins story picked up towards the end despite him not being able to compete for a while. Rollins story of challenging the bloodline and losing the title at Mania was one of the most interesting things of an incredibly stacked Wrestlemania.
wrong. Cm Punk, Seth Rollins, Daniel Bryan, Aj Styles, Hulk Hogan etc,... were ALL successfull long baby face championship runs. The Fans didnt turn on them. It is very possible. If you dont think its possible then you are not a true fan of the product instead you are a fan of heels. I enjoy both heel and face runs as long as the storylines, promos and matches are good.
@@heartattack3579 Most of the issues that happened in those runs were due to bad booking decisions or in Daniel Bryan's case bad timing with his injury. Not necessarily the ability of these guys to be a good face champion. The fans however did turn on Seth Rollins at the end of his 2019 title run. Mostly because of how badly booked his match against the Fiend was, his Baron Corbin feud, and some things he said on twitter. As for Styles, some people were upset at the nonsensical dick kicking storyline with Shinsuke. As well as them wanting Shinsuke and then Samoa Joe to beat him.Although I didn't really notice the live crowds booing him.
@@heartattack3579 Hogan was never a babyface though. He was the guy that cheated just as much if not more than his opponent but never got called for it. He was a heel that the crowd cheered for because he was a 'real American' that promoted the hypocrisy that Americans stood for. C,M. Punk was never a babyface. A.J. was a heel when he was champion and Seth Rollins had far better reigns as a heel than that short little stint he had as a face. They weren't really cheering for him, they were cheering against HHH.
So I see Cody turning heel as well. I can see the situation where WWE celebrates The American Dream and all that came with Dusty Rhodes. An extended celebration where Cody steadily gets annoyed with everybody talking about the accolades of his father and eventually even his brother gets talked about more than Cody does. At first Cody responds with a proud grin, then it's an annoyed nod of the head, moving into an eye roll, moving into more obvious responses to the constant Dusty and Dustin worship. This all culminates at a PLE where he is wrestling a Dusty Rhodes guy. Only second to Roman Reigns as far as importance. The opponent is besting Cody leading to some underhanded maneuvers that forces the opponent shout, " What are you doing, that's no way the son of Dusty Rhodes would wrestle somebody". This pisses Cody off and he tries to cheat one last time and succeeds, but the ref sees the rule breaking action and calls for the bell. DQ, Cody retains. Cody confronts this opponent offers his hand, the opponent with hesitation grasps Cody's hand and the handshake turns into a hug. Cody raises the hand of his opponent for the audience. This moment leads to the opponent to audibly say Your father would be so proud of you Dustin I mean Cody. Those words with the crowd chanting Dusty,Dusty,Dusty makes Cody snap and he attacks his opponent bringing nuclear heat and confusion. On the following RAW Cody changed the spoken word part of his entrance music...Wrestling has only one great member of the Rhodes family. The once in the ring Cody tells all that what he did for two years against the Bloodline moved him further ahead in success than his brother or his father could ever achieve. He degrades his family and departs the ring only after he says Fuck the American Dream, Fuck Dusty Rhodes.

I would deeply love to see the analytics for this episode, to see if there was a visible bump after the plug from Maven.
Heh.
Cody will basically by the reincarnation of John Cena. A lot of the fans will turn on him and he'll probably get stale but will always be the ultra mega baby face of the company.
I like Cody but I really don’t find him or his story that entertaining or interesting.
this “fans will turn on him” line really needs to die out
You can't turn Cody heel. The next Mania is Face Roman vs Face Cody. You have that amazing headline match. Roman has gotta go to Sami, have him help fix things with Jey and Jimmy, fix Jey and Jimmy. Huge Redemption Story is right there.

Whoa whoa whoa whoa whoa… Jack Daniels is NOT bourbon, it’s sour mash. HUGE difference.
All sour mash is bourbon, but not all bourbon is sour mash.
Cody and Dustin getting the recognition they deserve for that match is amazing to see
Taker is such an everyday guy... "Im not scared of nothing!" hahaha
The heel turn has to come organically. Let him be the perfect baby face for as long as possible, but when the time come and people inevitably get bored of it and begin to boo he shows subtle hints of annoyance. It’s the Homelander arc. He acts nice to the public because they treat him a certain way. He craves the validity, until one day… “ I don't make mistakes. I'm not "just like the rest of you." I'm stronger. I'm smarter. I'm better. I am better. I'm not some weak-kneed f**king crybaby that goes around f**king apologizing all the time. And why the f**k would you want me to be? All my life, people have tried to control me. My whole life. Rich people, powerful people have tried to muzzle me, cancel me, keep me impotent and obedient, like I'm a f**king puppet. You know what? It worked. Because I allowed it to work. And guess what. If they can control me, then you can bet your a$$ they can control you. They already do. You just don't realize it. I'm done. I am done apologizing. I am done being persecuted for my strength. You people should be thanking Christ that I am who and what I am, because you need me. You need me to save you! You’re not the real heroes, I’m the real hero”
Turn Cody heel when we least expect it. I love the way the crowd has got behind him and I think if they do this right they really make a huge move when he turns heel. Run the AEW angle as well as independent scene. He made himself who he is and he came to take what he wanted from the company. The way rock was still cheered as a heel. They can do that with Cody times 10. Turn Roman face and turn Cody heel. My gosh there is potential.
Id say after a good 4-5 years as the main Babyface I could see an awesome heel turn for Cody.
Why am I such an Undertaker mark?? 😅 Don't know, but I'm 34 years into being a Taker fan, and it ain't stopping no time soon.
My favorite wrestler of all time now is doing my favorite podcast of all time as well 😊
I don’t if you read comments, but I have a funny undertaker story, I was with the Rock at MSG and I was standing in a doorway to the locker room with the Rock to my left and Austin to my right and they knew that I was an Undertaker Mark,they said you were coming back that night, anyways as we were talking, a limo pulled up and you got out and all I remember was telling them to put me over while I was looking at you terrified raising my hand and I hear the two of them laughing and I guess they ran away because you were looking past me at them and as you walked towards me, I raised my hand and I said “hello Mr. undertaker my name is Marc,Can I get a picture with you, and then you said later” anyways after you shook my hand and walked by I had a pee spot in my jean shorts ha ha ha. I’ve never lived that down to this day.

I love the hero arc of Cody, but guys, look up his work as heel. He is actually phenomenal at it, plus like the guys said, the option of turning on the legacy of his father? Imagine the HEAT of that. Exciting future.
You wanna make money on a Cody heel turn? Cody gets smug, starts shitting on Dusty. Who better to shut his mouth than big brother Dustin? Cmon. THAT is money waiting to be made.
Also, the "he misspoke" bit.. comedy gold. Thank you guys for such a wonderful show. Great work all around. Thank you.
