No wonder Cody is so deep in the stardust character.

Actually, I'm curious. Why was he so over like that at Survivor Series? Was it because they were excited to see him as champion? Were people getting tired of Shawn around that time?

Probably 70% because of being tired of Shawn, and 30% because Sid's character had finally been realized.

Late 96-Early 97 Sid was the best of Sid.

Sid was just popular because he was THE LOOK defined. His promos sucked, his wrestling sucked, but he looked like every kid imagined themselves as a wrestler and that got over quickly.

Sid was the closest thing to what fans wanted during the transition from New Generation to Attitude era besides Austin. He didn't give a fuck, he was sweaty, and kicked ass, compared to HBK who was lame at the time :/.

If Sid coulda deiivered anything but a lovably bad promo, he might have positioned himself as an Austin esque no bullshit, asskicking face. Alas it was not to be.

Cody is legit and underrated.

I still don't get what Cody doesn't have, other than trash booking, that Balor does.

Balor's a better athlete. Cody's a good solid wrestler who would have been much bigger in an earlier era when athleticism meant less.

Who's the thick momma on the left?

Sid never wanted to be a main event face evidently. He had the opportunity to do so when Hogan was on hiatus and could have been a big one in the mid 90's too.

I think that's Amber O'Neal. She's a good wrestler as well, though unsure if she still does it.

I disagree. I think Cody is athletic enough and still can be a bigger star. Cody's problem was and always has been that he debuted in 2007.

Mmm...speaking of Layla, what's she been up to?

(I poked around on her Twittah Machine...there's a lot of stuff.)

Apparently, Rosa's been around a lot longer than I remembered...
