>>12339653I could draw 3k against Kurt Angle. I like Cody. I’m not disparaging him. To act like he was setting the indies on fire by himself is insane. Just being Cody Rhodes back then didn’t mean anything. I saw him that summer, I brought my nephew and he was great to the kid. Booker T was there, Rybitch. A bunch of guys. It was at an Ice Hockey rink and probably drew 400 people. He was cool as shit though and took pictures and signed autographs for free and was just hanging out in the pizza place with everyone before the show.
At the same time that Bullet Club shit was on fire. Maybe no one really cared about Omega until he started working with Okada. I remember for sure not giving a fuck about the Young Bucks so much personally, but Bullet Club was over huge that year and Omega was Bullet Club that year. AJ was already gone, but the popularity in the states started with him. Those guys kept it going. Cody brought zero fans to that situation, it worked the other way.
