Nah. People would have wanted Rock or Stone Cold if Cody was before 30.
I had no desire to see Austin :lol or rock for that matter.

Kids today! Bah!

But no, seriously, Cody is basically a throw back to me. He is old school in a world where that's what I yearn for.
I'm 36 lol. I like Cody the wrestler, I don't love the 80s style babystuff personally

Still younger than me. My point stands. Haha.

But no, I get that. For me that's basically what I'm into. Anything I'd say Pre-2002 is my jam. Anything after I've watched because of stockholm syndrome.

You don’t speak for everyone though. I’m talking about a majority of people. In a rumble with like no real surprises or anything, if Cody was not 30, then you’re looking for something huge like that.

Edge ain't huge? I mean 30 shouldn't be for part timers.

Edge isn’t a huge shock when he’s been back plenty of times recently and was pretty much known to be coming back. :lol if this was 2020, then Edge at 30 would be huge. Now, no.

there was zero drama in that match, whic his weird because the rumble itself was actually one of the best in recent memory. but yea, it was never in doubt and having him come out 30 and never look in danger is again, inorganic to me
Predictable doesn’t mean bad. Cody coming back from his injury had to be 30. As was said if he was any other number then the audience would’ve wanted the biggest name possible.

Had they kept his return a secret, I would agree with you that he had to be 30. However, since they didn't then I don't think he really needed to be 30. he could have been anywhere between 20 and 30 and it would have been fine.

It'd be a massively deflating way to close out WrestleMania and benefits nobody at all. Just strike while the irons hot, it's the perfect time and platform to cement Cody's position at the top, delaying it for however many months isn't going to get him over any more than he already is.
