>>7928938Yeah. It was worse with Cody since he was the most over baby-face in the company at the time and the company was months old. The dude lost any reason to compete as a singles wrestler and then immediately went on to squash the young talent for months when he had no motivation to win anything as a singles and the young guys got nothing out of it. If it was conditional, like he can't challenge Jericho or he can't make a challenge but can still win a title shit or something. Or just not do it at all since it didn't add to the interest in the match at all. They booked a few of these finality stops in a row too, for no reason. Dustin will retire if he loses some random match, the bucks will never get a tag title shot again if they lose for no reason. They tried it again recently with Andrade Vs 10. For no reason.
They don't learn.
With Tim, he is old and has a real job too, I think Billy thought NWA was going to grow and so Tik wouldn't be able to work a world champion schedule going forward, but they peaked while he was on top and have been irrelevant since.
