    Brian Gewirtz on THAT Cody Rhodes Promo Where He Stepped Aside For The Rock

    Oh he'll find anyway to distance himself from a poorly received angle that is very evident lol first it was "it would have worked if Cody didn't look upset when Rock came out" next interview is "well it would have worked if Cody didn't win the rumble" The next will be "well it would have worked...

    I'm implying he didn't actually say shit before and is only speaking up now when everyone in the world is already agreeing with his "hot take"

    That was Gewirtz saying he thought Punk winning made more sense and was pushing back on Cody as the winner before it happened but that wasnt WWE's plans. He's hindsight heroing

    Punk said he was never supposed to win in the Helwani interview too I think? He obviously didn't comment on the rest of the angle bc he wouldn't have been involved anyway tho

    Brian Gewirtz on THAT Cody Rhodes Promo Where He Stepped Aside For The Rock

    Next Thursday and within a day of the SmackDown segment WWE had talent tweeting "WeWantCody" which made more people think it was always the master plan, but at that point they'd already realized they needed to pivot

    Brian Gewirtz on THAT Cody Rhodes Promo Where He Stepped Aside For The Rock

    I think just about everyone in the company has outright said that was the plan at this point leading up to this documentary. Gewirtz is trying to defend Rock's input at every turn but he's just exposing how convuluted trying to cater to his original ideas made everything lmao but I'll still...

    That's exactly what he says in the OP of the thread yes

    Brian Gewirtz on THAT Cody Rhodes Promo Where He Stepped Aside For The Rock

    They didn't plan it in advance that's what everyone is saying. The plan was Cody wins the rumble and gets taken out so Rock has to step in. But bc Punk got hurt they pivoted to Cody challenging Seth which made even less sense in regards to him not choosing Roman, and then the fans rejected it so...

    Cody knew what the story was, that's why Gerwitz is complaining he didn't do the rah rah speech for Rock he was supposed to on the SmackDown after

    Cody said himself he was told he was winning the rumble but not challenging Roman the day of the show because he had to figure out how to sell the victory celebration that made sense for the angle that made no sense

    I'm saying if you can still freely post you aren't being subjected to an evil hive mind :lol and I never said I'd block you, I said that's an opinion I'd end up blocking bc I can tell it will annoy me But now I'm blocking you

    Yeah I don't know what to tell you, your opinions are allowed here. You're not warned or banned :draper2 Doing a terrible job hive minding despite my best attempts but I hope one day you find these mythical stories in wrestling if you aren't getting them from WWE or AEW though

    You can post whatever you want, I don't have to like it. I like wrestling so I'll probably be a dick anytime you dislike something, ask the others posting in the thread bc I do it to them too

    Brian Gewirtz on THAT Cody Rhodes Promo Where He Stepped Aside For The Rock

    I think he did but that was probs just more as a viewer from what I understand. He hadn't actually worked for WWE in a decade

    Gonna turn into a "can't criticize WWE" forum now, sorry AEW

    Brian Gewirtz on THAT Cody Rhodes Promo Where He Stepped Aside For The Rock

    That is the narrative I've seen slowly forming that I imagine I'll have to block when everyone starts parroting it more

    Brian Gewirtz on THAT Cody Rhodes Promo Where He Stepped Aside For The Rock

    For the record tho, I did see the same with Cody's reaction but most of the defenders were using it as "proof" it was all planned bc dude looked just like he lost at Mania 39

    Brian Gewirtz on THAT Cody Rhodes Promo Where He Stepped Aside For The Rock

    Pretty sure he only has a job for Rock's angles now too and he's not even a current employee other than Rock has that clause that's been revealed from SEC filings that he can bring his own writers in for anything he's doing
