In retrospect, in spite of how much the smarks bitched about this, it was the correct choice and made Cody's win actually feel meaningful the next year, so hats off to them for taking this risk for once

Cody actually had to work from the bottom back up the card for a full year instead of being gone for most of the year with an injury and they saw how much the fans still had support for him, it played into the whole Dusty being screwed out of the title thing and made you wonder if he would ever win it, then the Rock screwing him out of it made it nuclear

WWE should take risks more often
