    Sounds like brian learned a few things from the brief overlap he had when Russo was there because this sounds exactly like what Russo would say things on wrestling observer live that he would have turned the Nitro ratings around if standards and practices only let Roddy Piper call Rhonda Singh...

    Although he still allowed it to happen so

    That’s like Vince Russo finally realizing he should just stop defending David Arquette winning the title so now he just constantly says that it was Tony‘s idea lol

    I know what you meant by hindsight hero. Just saying, it’s smarter than defending an idea when the entire world tells you it’s bad is all.

    I don’t blame him for being a hindsight hero. Better than bookers who can’t denounce shitty booking lmao

    Cody winning the royal rumble was the right call in the end so I’m just glad they didn’t set up a new precedent that the champion just doesn’t get a title shot. That was the main thing that I didn’t think they would be stupid enough to plan, but I will concede that it was and I’m glad that it...

    I didn’t watch too much of that interview because of all the negativity that’s surrounding it. I was just confused because I thought Dale came in here and said some thing about the royal rumble plan changing that’s what I was reacting to. Lol.

    I believe so and Brian says he got a text from Rock by Saturday or Sunday. Like only a day or two later even before that.

    The funny thing is a triple threat with Cody, Seth and Punk would have also worked. They all had beef with each other leading into the royal rumble.

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

    Since Cody outright said it I don’t think he lies so I believe it but it’s just crazy to me that he was going to win the royal rumble and then not get a world title match. At all. But like you said I can’t hate on rock too much because he pivoted immediately like a day or two later according to...

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

    Like from my vantage point plan a was the worst plan of them all. Plan B when punk got hurt was actually an improvement on plan a because at least Cody was going to challenge a world champion even if it was the wrong one. And obviously plan c was the best plan crazy so many things that happened...

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

    That’s what I’m talking about. If they planned for Cody to win the royal rumble and then not to cash in on either world champion before Punk was hurt , meaning no world title match involved the royal rumble winner, that’s just silly, in my opinion. Glad we got plan C, though.
  13. Kross Rhodes

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

    Glad he did because this entire mess sounds like shit.
  14. Kross Rhodes

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

    If Cody confirmed that and they planned this mess in advance, then I guess they should just fire everyone that was involved in this lol I get Cena decided to take a shot early, but the royal rumble should not become the money in the bank concept. You get the title shot at wrestlemania, you...

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

    I’m glad that they had to pivot once Punk got hurt regardless of what the original plan was because if they were going to do Punk and Seth and rock and Roman and Cody still won the royal rumble, it would’ve said such a weird president if the Royal Rumble winner can just bank his shot and then...
  16. Kross Rhodes

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

    But yeah, doubt we’ll ever get a full clear picture. They definitely messed up, hardcore. At least once they recovered it was a good time.
  17. Kross Rhodes

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

    I’m not sure I buy that Cody was planned to win the royal rumble and then he wasn’t going to get a world title match of either kind.
  18. Kross Rhodes

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

    The thing that sucks too about Punk getting hurt is even if he had won the royal rumble and faced Seth Rollins for the world title. Presumably, Cody still would’ve introduced the rock fans would shit all over it and we still would’ve gotten Cody and Roman reigns at the same event we would’ve...
  19. Kross Rhodes

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

    Considering how they pivoted with Seth being involved in Cody‘s program I’m guessing that’s probably what it was. Also, considering that they were having punk make those same special referee jokes was probably part of the inside joke.

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

    I’m glad we’re finally getting some confirmation because I suspected since that week that punk was supposed to win the royal rumble when he got hurt they called an audible. Because it didn’t make sense that they had Cody win the royal rumble only to give his spot to the rock. And we knew Punk...
