Is there a single case in wrestling history of giving a wrestler creative control not resulting in a bunch of ego driving bullshit?

 

[SallyIsNow]

How did you get his name wrong? It is right there.

I don't know how to respond to this.

i'm Canadian
i'm from Montreal

So you're even more wrong.

 

[imBask]

Total nonsense. Bret didn’t want to go, Vince made him go, Vince gave him creative control and HBK was at peak asshole in his life.

Bret had every right, including a legal right.

scripted TV show

the actor refused to cooperate

the writer killed the character

Don't embarrass me in front of my friends, Heromap.

Bret Hart sucked anyway, who cares

Huh?

Btw pretty sure Flo Slam has the rights to the WWN catalogue for 5 years and because it is part of a greater FloSports network even if everything else FloSlam related goes away they can probably just keep it up there for free as the most it cost them is some extra server space. So WWN has zero control over their back catalogue library right now.

Character is his real name that is going elsewhere so not quite the same, also again Bret literally had creative control in his contract. That is on Vince for giving that to him.

It was a great idea, HEAT BROTHEEEER

Ahhhh, of course, I'm sorry I was wrong

HEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAT!

 

[avengers23]

Jeff Gerstmann is still a mark.

Say it to his face.

I mean

This is like asking "Is there a single case in wrestling history of a promoter not being a complete fucking moron?"

This is wrestling. It's noteworthy when geniuses and good selfless people enter the industry

heh partial creative control

also Vince has the final word on every thing, he's the writter, he's the GOLDEN GOD

"No egomaniacs allowed"

...who do you think grows up wanting to be in wrestling

 

[formated4tv]

HE HASN'T YET BEGUN TO PEAK!

Cody on the ROH PPV said Reigns' vest was covering up his potbelly and his failed drug tests

 

[Reneledarker]

How did you get his name wrong? It is right there.

The same way you get something wrong in most of your post?

Anyway, anyone is going to watch the RoH ppv?

Cody on the ROH PPV said Reigns' vest was covering up his potbelly and his failed drug tests

Meh, the BC really knows their audience and how they can make money from them.

 

[excelsiorlef]

It was basically Bret can say no... and he did. He offered other solutions and Vince fucked him instead. He gave Bret contractual powers to control how he exited the company.

 

[slightconfuse]

Shoot

"I thought that tactical vest was just covering up a failed drug test, but it was covering up envy"- Cody Rhodes on Roman Reigns

 

[excelsiorlef]

Shoot

Peak try hard Cody... guess that’s in response to Reigns’ comments about the Bucks.

 

[SallyIsNow]

I hate Cody

So fucking much

Not a mark, btw

 

[Bronx-Man]

Cody on the ROH PPV said Reigns' vest was covering up his potbelly and his failed drug tests

I can’t believe I’m siding with fucking Roman Reigns on something, this is how dorky BC has become.

 

[Anth0ny]

[half a moon]

Shoot

I think Cody is the one who envies Roman...

 

[BewareTheBatsie]

Cody's line may have been a little cool but Cena like already called that out on live TV a month ago.

 

[Heroman]

Cody on the ROH PPV said Reigns' vest was covering up his potbelly and his failed drug tests

Will duh.

You'd think Cody would be a little more forgiving of people who get pushes because of their family ties...

 

[Bronx-Man]

Cody’s probably responding to this

 

[Sweeney Tom]

You'd think Cody would be a little more forgiving of people who get pushes because of their family ties...

He's busy making sure everyone remembers who really came up with the real War Games

[somedevil]

Its more a response to him calling out Cody for saying he is the biggest draw in wrestling.

Cody is very divisive when it comes to opinions about him. Cause a wrestling writer tweeted this while watching the show:

Nice to see fans so appreciative of three star matches

 

[Sweeney Tom]

Also all the men cheered for Kenny after he shouted a Rick and Morty reference

 

[Egg0]

I'm like.. "watching" this ROH show on twitter and Cody going in on Roman is lame as fuck.

 

[Bronx-Man]

Also all the men cheered for Kenny after he shouted a Rick and Morty reference

It’s an ROH show alright

[Arrowgigantic]

Cody’s probably responding to this

 

[BewareTheBatsie]

Remember Cody saying he could sell out MSG with the Bucks with three months notice.

In the world of scripted aggression, punching up in shoot promos is a one way ticket to Lamesville

 

[Ninja Scooter]

Why is Hernandez going to kill Vince?

 

[Bronx-Man]

We roasting Cody Rhodes?

Cause this man somehow managed to be a worse ROH Champion than Xavier

 

[Foggy]

Having said that, being in the WWE and responding to them in any way shape or form is a one way ticket to Lamesville.

 

[Heroman]

We roasting Cody Rhodes?

Cause this man somehow managed to be a worse ROH Champion than Xavier

He has? Base off what?

 

[Ninja Scooter]

the Screwjob being the birth place of Mr. McMahon and the attitude era means Vince was unequivocally right in doing what he did.

 

[Syder]

WE WANT STARDUST

*clap clap clap clap clap*

WE WANT STARDUST

 

[Foggy]

Hiromu is a treasure

 

[Sweeney Tom]

We roasting Cody Rhodes?

Cause this man somehow managed to be a worse ROH Champion than Xavier

This man somehow managed to be a more boring ROH Champ than Takeshi Morishima

 

[half a moon]

Stardust was the better gimmick
