Taped airs on Axs on Friday.

Live on NJPW world tomorrow.


This is worse than Okada/Fale

 

[HashtagLapsed]

Hopefully NJPW's Cody experiment ends after this, fucking hell.

 

[Brian_FETO]

This is a fascinating look at what Okada in WWE would look like

Backlash tier main event right here

 

[Evening Musuko]

Let's just hope Gedo doesn't have that Vince delusion thinking "look how much heat Cody is getting!"

Honestly I think Cody vs Okada would have happened in Japan anyway, but at least here he's getting booed as opposed to...nothing in Japan.

Maybe if it was Korakuen it would work, but I doubt they'll have an IWGP heavyweight match there these days.

 

[BewareTheBatsie]

roh's world champ losing to another companies world champ not long after he won the belt is gonna be funny

Eh, WWE has a lot of guys better than Cody. Like, a whole lot at this point.

 

[Fox318]

Cody is proof that HHH and the John Laurinaitis WWE can't create wrestlers.

 

[sf2fanatic]

Lol Fox got fingered 🖕

 

[excelsiorlef]

How much do you suck?

You have a boring match with Okada.

 

[SallyIsNow]

I think my former hate of Okada was cause of Gedo. Now I just fucking hate Gedo

 

[Brian_FETO]

Eh, WWE has a lot of guys better than Cody. Like, a whole lot at this point.

I meant more the style of match

Slow, not exciting

 

[UberTag]

ROH has a serious problem on their hands with their new world champ.

 

[BewareTheBatsie]

Hopefully NJPW's Cody experiment ends after this, fucking hell.

He's gonna be the next leader of Bullet Club.

 

[Toki767]

Daniels vs Okada would've been better.

Thanks bros

 

[sf2fanatic]

Feels like I'm watching Cody vs Cena

 

[Fox318]

Lol Fox got fingered 🖕

I loved when he won the belt and people were like "well I guess we're getting a non-finish or Cody is winning the IWGP title because ROH wouldn't let him lose" and I was just like lol.

Cody is proof that HHH and the John Laurinaitis WWE can't create wrestlers.

Idk man, Roman is pretty damn good. Other than his booking of course.

 

[excelsiorlef]

Like seriously Fale was better against Okada and Fale sucks.

 

[theaffection]

Daniels vs Okada would've been better.

Or even Dalton Castle vs Okada if they did the right thing already

 

[Sir_Crocodile]

Feels like I'm watching Okada vs BONE SOLDIER

 

[Spirit of Jazz]

New I see why Tanahashi vs Gunn is the main event.

Or even Dalton Castle vs Okada if they did the right thing already

Stop breaking my heart!

 

[BewareTheBatsie]

I don't know why but I always mark out for a kip up.

 

[Beefy]

Cody is shit

 

[excelsiorlef]

This is so fucking dull.


Way to not even showcase Okada Gedo.

 

[sf2fanatic]

Was hoping Okada to dominate this entire match. Guess not

 

[The Strokes]

He's gonna be the next leader of Bullet Club.

A dead stable.

Kenny, the Bucks and Marty will probably make The Elite its own thing.

 

[theaffection]

New I see why Tanahashi vs Gunn is the main event.



Stop breaking my heart!

Sooooon! It will be amazing when Castle beats Cody for it >

 

[BewareTheBatsie]

lmao those boos dulling out the cody chants

 

[Jashobeam]

Feels like I'm watching Cody vs Cena

Except Okada can actually perform a proper drop kick

 

[serenewarfare]

Barnett and JR have halfway said Rhodes and stopped themselves like easily a hundred times already at this point.

 

[UberTag]

I don't know why but I always mark out for a kip up.

Kip Up > Kip James

 

[Spirit of Jazz]

People who want to look for a different product than the WWE probably aren't interested in rejects that were thrown out even though they hit all the WWE check lists.

 

[Sir_Crocodile]

This is so fucking dull.

I knew this was going to happen when he wrestled Tommy End at PWG and Tommy could only drag a decent match out of him.

 

[RecRoulette]

I expected the start to be slow, but I'm really worried about what its going to look like when they finally kick it up a notch

 

[Fox318]

I loved when he won the belt and people were like "well I guess we're getting a non-finish or Cody is winning the IWGP title because ROH wouldn't let him lose" and I was just like lol.



Idk man, Roman is pretty damn good. Other than his booking of course.

It took Roman a ton of time working with AJ and a few other workers on the road before he started mixing up his moveset and learning how and when to sell better.

Notice how after he started working with AJ is when he drastically improved from punch kick to using a ton of power spots.

 

[Hex]

He's gonna be the next leader of Bullet Club.

I think they will pull a swerve and Adam Cole Cody.

Bullet Club merch is too much money to risk

 

[ScribbleD]

I'm not one to defend WWE, but this isn't bad because it's a WWE style match, it's bad because it's the worst kind of WWE style match. All valleys and no peaks.

 

[SallyIsNow]

That sounded nasty

 

[BewareTheBatsie]

Was hoping Okada to dominate this entire match. Guess not

Shinsuke vs Ziggler all over again.

 

[excelsiorlef]

I knew this was going to happen when he wrestled Tommy End at PWG and Tommy could only drag a decent match out of him.

Oh I knew it too but I thought well maybe Cody will rise up to Fale's level.

 

[sf2fanatic]

Shinsuke vs Ziggler all over again.

Yup. So far it is

 

[Fox318]

Shinsuke vs Ziggler all over again.

Ziggler is twice the worker cody is.

 

[Bronx-Man]

Cody is the personification of early 2010s WWE midcarder and it shows.

 

[Spirit of Jazz]

Oh I knew it too but I thought well maybe Cody will rise up to Fale's level.

At least Fale has a presence.

 

[serenewarfare]

It took Roman a ton of time working with AJ and a few other workers on the road before he started mixing up his moveset and learning how and when to sell better.

Nah, he was still good before AJ. AJ did make him better though.

My point is that WWE can make good wrestlers, but they just don't do it often. It's not impossible though.

 

[HashtagLapsed]

Oh I knew it too but I thought well maybe Cody will rise up to Fale's level.

Its pretty hilarious in a sad way.

Cody is so fucking DULL.
