Though I had the feeling that the gimmick had sputtered out as well, I don't how I'm going to explain to a 7 year-old girl, who loves him so much she'd imitate his entrance, that Stardust quit. Maybe she won't notice.
Wasn't Stardust Cody's idea in the first place?
All that needs to be said about Cody is that people will forget about him in a month.
Sandow got 2 acts over. Cody had more chances than anyone else and couldn't stick to anything.
Maybe he should have told Vince I'm not jobbing to a 40 year old waste of talent at mania but who knows?
I should be able to pull every talent away from the WWE and there should be a draw factor to them with a competition american promotion or elsewhere.
Is there really any excitement with Cody Rhodes in NOAH, NJPW, or even fucking Chikara?

Wait. What?
Where its implied that Wrestlers can pay him to alter star ratings and change their career and life
50 k per star
John Cena doesn't get knocked off TV, or Wrestlemanias. So while John may hate his character, at least he's given an opportunity to do something with it.
I think if Cody has been given an opportunity as Stardust to have longer than 2 minute matches against guys like Crews or Titus over and over, and if given an opportunity to cut promos, he maybe could have made it work as Stardust. But as he says, he was taken off a Wrestlemania match, taken of a RAW match last week, and just treated like nothing worth a damn.
Bury Ambrose? What the hell are you talking about?

DC inserted the Watchmen into their universe and made Dr Manhattan creating them canon

Three Jokers? Why does DC disrespect the playing card bidness? There can be only two, that's breaking Hoylefabe.
The name might have been, but the idea of "paint-up like [his] brother" came from WWE it seems, according to his explanation tweet

That's like if TNA had three Willows, ridiculous.

Can he manage the Young Bucks? Because that's the only role I see Meltzer having.
I think we were all happy for Punk for leaving.
The backlash comes from him exploiting the UFC... and I'm not sure why we should be upset about that exactly.
They're just churning through and burning out talent that would just get used for filler, 50/50 booking and to pad 3-hour RAWs wrestling the same people over and over again.
If you feel there's an actual changing of the guard, you've been drinking too much of the "new era" Kool-Aid... or some equally judgment-impairing substance.

Wont be watching Extreme Rules tonight because I gotta cheer my Pens on against the Bolts. Looking forward to this thread some morning.
He was given a chance.
He had a tag team duo with his brother
He got a singles push after the breakup
He got the brother vs brother setup for the 50th time and got PPV time
He got 157 repackages
He got a ton of minutes on TV that other guys would have killed for
He got to work with some of the best workers on the planet
All of this plus major public sympathy to which he threw aside saying he didn't want to use his fathers death at all.
Then he proceeds to pull out a polkadotted ladder to get a cheap pop using the gimmick that Vince was trying to bury his father with. In a match that frankly 5 others shouldn't have been in.

That Women's division in NXT ain't too hot. Like, what the fuck is Peyton Royce supposed to be?

It looks as if
Manhattan might be responsible for the DCU as it's been for the last few years (N52).
What?
Watch that 30 for 30 Orlando Magic special on Netflix.

IWC is insistent that Ambrose is being buried despite seeing mic time every night, matches at every PPV and dedicated story lines.

I feel like the fact the best that Dr Manhattan could do was to create a shitty version of the DC universe retroactive detracts from my enjoyment the conclusion of his arc in Watchmen.
She's had no time to develop her character. Outside of Nia and Eva nobody have so it doesn't help that neither of them have shown any sign of improvement over the last year yet they're continued to be pushed. They really need Asuka to be heel and Athena to debut as face.
Ambrose just got another title shot, HES FUCKIN BURIED

You know you're stretching to praise someone when you're calling a Jericho feud in 2016 not a waste of time
Face it, it was when you used it for Fandango in the same position and for Bray in the same position. Ambrose is no better. If anything, he's more disappointing
Poison Ivy, but she wrestles. Still, I'm interested.

Man, that Joe/Sami match should have been a 3 stages of hell, at a Takeover, and for the strap. Finn would have been better utilized jobbing to the drifter in the opener.

I'm not trying to say the feud with Jericho is worthwhile and useful, but a guy that is being buried isn't given as much as Ambrose has gotten over the last year.
I find Ambrose incredibly boring and one dimensional in the ring, but even with my dislike for him I'd never say he's been buried. Buried is jobbing out to Apollo fucking Crews.

I hope Joe beats the living hell out of him so that Joe really comes out looking like a monster.

They should have Joe goad Fin into wrestling without paint then go with a KO/Zayne style beating. That way they get to protect Fin's gimmick as he leaves NXT and make Joe look like the beast he deserves to be.

Fans have a hard time making a distinction between being "buried" and "being stuck in a nothing feud to spin your wheels and fill time with no hope of aspiring to anything greater in the future".
Dean may not be getting buried but he sure as hell is getting stale.

God. Did they take the belt off Finn just so he can be both longest reigning and first two-time NXT champ?

I was thinking in my head, that's exactly what they will do just so they can protect the damn demon. I'd have them revisit the fued on the main roster where Joe kills the demon.

Well they were apart of 3 Live Krew in TNA. I don't know if they went against each other though.
