I really like Cody, but the truth is that he is gonna be a massive obstacle to getting some of the young guys over and credible in the next few years.
if you're an upwardly mobile male WWE wrestler under 35, getting sentenced to smackdown is basically hell. The massive power gap between the upper card and main event is just too high. Even Gunther can't win the title.

Cody is a sociopath

They need to bring up a completely new guy, not a NXT dweeb, and just have him smash CAWdy and pin him clean on free TV. I mean a complete demolishment. Doesn't have to be for the title, Cody doesn't even need to be champion when this happens but something like what Vince wanted to do with Lesnar & Austin on Raw in the first round of the KOTR. Nothing else will work.

Except everyone is getting over on Smackdown because it's storyline based and the matches actually have a point. They do not need to hot potato the title and devalue it.
>>20624792
Or they can just build up a good story that people invest in instead of sacrificing their top face for a hotshot moment then praying the new guy can somehow carry the company because 'he won fast'

Foreigner with a pants on head retarded idea, why am I not surprised

You're a Cody hater, huh? Be nice. I like him a lot but he is just bottlenecking the main event scene right now.

Cody Rhodes: My Number One Red Flag Is A Veteran Saying, “I'm Just Here To Help The Young Guys”

Appearing on Behind The Turnbuckle with Jonathan Coachman, Cody commented on his red flag in the industry.

>The number one red flag I hear. If you meet a guy who is a legend who is coming in on the roster and he's going to be active, or a part-time guy, the number one red flag if you're young or in the middle of the pack (as a) talent is when you hear somebody say, “I'm just here for the young guys.” I already know. You're not just here for the young guys. I would rather you tell me straight up, “I'm here for some of ya'll, and I'm here for myself.” This a selfish, competitive business. I like the most transparent people. “Here's what I'd like to do, let's do it.” Whenever I hear, “I'm here for the young guys,” which is not often and not anytime soon I've heard it. In my mind, instantly, I'm like, “That's the biggest red flag ever. I'd rather him tell them he's just here for himself,” said Rhodes.

Delusional.
>Or they can just build up a good story
Can they? Why hasn't it happened? What would that even look like?
>instead of sacrificing their top face for a hotshot moment then praying the new guy can somehow carry the company
Cody turns 41 in three weeks, he's ran through everyone in the company, there's nothing left for him to do and he'll never be any more over than he was 2 years ago. It's time to start building for the future.

You're letting your personal feelings get in the way of business, mark.

Trick, Melo, Hobbs, etc Even the women like Fatal Influence etc. got over
>Can they? Why hasn't it happened? What would that even look like?
There is no urgent rush so they are taking the time to build up storylines properly and set up future events and feuds. Cody is currently potentially set up against Gunther, Roman, Punk, Jey, Sami and a returning Orton, and they are already setting the seeds for the next guys if you pay attention
>Cody turns 41 in three weeks, he's ran through everyone in the company, there's nothing left for him to do and he'll never be any more over than he was 2 years ago. It's time to start building for the future.
Rhetoric and it is nonsensical to say 'okay, you had success, time to randomly try some other guy with no build just because!'. The WHC is supposed to be the belt for trying guys out but it got stuck on Punk and Roman due to factors.
As for age, WWE had a lot of catching up on due to wasting years and years with Vince just fucking around or giving random stop start pushes. If they just threw away all their older guys they would be in a way worse spot. People complained when RAW and Smackdown focused on building new people, it is now paying off.
