Yeah, how strange that they could think a massive change in presentation could work for a guy.........

I was the guy laughing at those people, but months earlier I was also laughing at the thought of him eliminating Braun. I'm pretty sure "singlehandedly" was specified when I did, but I'll take that particular L regardless. 50/50 booking comes for all :'[

Two cannibals are eating a clown. One turns to the other and says "does something taste funny to you?"

Matt Stafford has never even had a playoff win
Matt Stafford is the Sami Zayn of the NFL. Everyone saying "this'll be the year"

I'm convinced that Vince hates masked wrestlers because Mil refused to do the job and he made a pact from that moment on that he would make sure all masked men do the job and look horrible.

His general role was still the same, but everything around it was completely different. Point is, it's a big change that worked.
Just because Roddy never got really over as a babyface doesn't mean it's impossible for it to happen, it just means it was never done right.
Not every change is gonna work, but that should absolutely never stop you from trying.

A shit career by the highest standard of NFL players yeah. But he played QB in the NFL and won games. Less than 1% of people in the world can say that. That alone is a significant accomplishment. You think Ryan Fitzpatrick is genuinely unhappy with his life? It could always be better, but that doesn't mean it's bad.

Is this from the new Tough Enough season?
Who said his life is bad? I just said he had bad career, like yeah we all know that getting into the NFL.is hard but doesn't make a person immue to criticism.

It doesn't, but my original comment that you quoted was in response to the idea that Roderick being "the next Sami Zayn" is a bad thing. It's not. It's not the best thing, but it's not a bad thing.
Being the Sami Zayn is being a loser which is a bad thing. It doesn't matter whether or not you are in werid being a loser sucks.

That's not an objective fact in terms of wrestling. If people are happy in the spot they are in and enjoying it, then to them it doesn't suck, no matter what the fans think.
Another example, James Ellsworth is the biggest loser on the roster, but I'd bet a ton of guys would kill to be in that spot. Therefore, to a vast majority of guys, that spot doesn't suck.
Ridiculous. McIntyre was the lowest of the low when he left. No storylines, barely any TV time, never got to wrestle actual matches, and was part of the biggest joke jobber group on the roster.
Sami is in a way better spot than McIntyre was. If he left, he'd come back to the same spot. A guy who loses to the guys they want to push, but beats guys often enough to matter when he loses.
You or I have no idea whether or not Sami Zayn love or hates his spot but given how other wreslter have felt about a spot like his I doubt he is in love with. And this thread isn't about what the wreslter think about there spot ,it is about what we thier spots.

Again, it doesn't matter what this thread is about.
This whole conversation started with the idea that someone wouldn't want to be in Sami Zayn's spot, and that's just demonstrably false no matter how you slice it.
Out of all the spots on the roster im pretty sure no one would choose Sami spot.

If I was getting paid what Sami was getting paid to take a 3 second tan week in week out, I'd say sign me the fuck up.

Out of all the spots on the roster? No, of course not, that's not the point. If that spot alone is available, no one is turning it down.
I'm sure people like a nak or AJ would turn that spot down.

Hell, I'd take Ellsworth's spot too. Crack a few lame jokes a week, take a bump, and pal around with Carmella in backstage segments? What's to complain about?

Goddamn at the amount of "he'll be back ANY DAY NOW" comments I see on each new video of a 2 star match he does with better talent though

Not everyone can be the top guys. That's just the sad truth. Doesn't mean a lower spot can't work out for you.
Okay? That has nothing to do with my point. It's not an undesirable spot to most guys. Yeah there are guys who are above it in terms of star power and guys who think they can do better than it and will leave, but for most guys that's just not the case.
And plus Cody has done absolutely nothing to prove that he's better than WWE would let him be, but that's a rant for another time.
Watching the Cody/Finlay match from last night right now actually. It's definitely lackluster, but I won't judge Cody based on matches with Juice and David Finlay. When he has stinkers against Naito and Ishii I'll gladly admit he's a turd.
As an aside, David really needs to work on his look. The beard is good, but eyeliner and a gut is not.

In GAF height you're still a jabronie.
Really, I thought it was a really good match

In the past year, Cody has had subpar to average matches with:
- Sabre
- Galloway
- Moose
- Hero
- Callihan
- Scurll
- Bennett
- Edwards
His best match was with Lethal in December and even that one I would call above-average at best.
