Cody Rhodes absolutely cannot be a worthwhile and interesting wrestler by himself. He needs a good story to propel him and to get people to give a shit about him.

Fortunately, Gedo realized this.

Unfortunately, his solution was the gay Bullet Club Civil War shit.

So we just had a boring wrestler stuck in the most dimeless story of the company at the time.

WWE is the only company where he can be the guy. Cody was made a ballsy but smart move leaving AEW to fill in the much needed top face spot in WWE.
>lower standards for workrate
>casual audience loves generic babyfaces and pyro go boom
>can cut pandering promos every night without dronies booing him out of the building
>WOOOOOOO-OOAAAAHHH
None of these things worked in NJPW, ROH or AEW.

Cody unironically worked in AEW when he had good programs behind him, though, at the start. It was the Codyverse shit that got people to hate him.

And even then, if he turned heel, literally everyone would be all over him. He just didn't want to.

That motherfucker is such a natural heel, he just oozes douchebag but refuses to embrace it. That's why his Dashing gimmick worked so well
I know he wants to "finish the story" as a face but if he sees that Vince won't let him then there's no reason for him not to turn heel

Cody is an old school rassler and only really works in that bubble. In NJPW, its very workrate focused and subdued with the gimmicks and character work.

NJPW doesn't have the big promos and angles that WWE and American wrestling has. Nor does it go anywhere near as hard with the gimmicks. Yes there are gimmicks and characters but its much more grounded and restrained.

I watched plenty before, during and after Cody's run. I stopped not long after Shibata died, couldn't take it anymore. Its undeniable that NJPW is much more restrained compared to WWE and even AEW, at least for Cody's stuff. Again there are gimmicks and character work but at the end of the day, its very grounded and straight forward story telling with the main focus being the in-ring action. Cody isn't a workrate guy but a big storyteller.

Thanks for confirming. Cody only had one match in Japan before Shibata was gone. Stop pretending.

Cody fucked himself by locking himself out of challenging for the AEW belt. He even admitted as much later. It limited what he could do in AEW afterwards because he refused to go heel because Cody's obsessed with capeshit.

Pro wrestling is a narrative medium. If it's not telling a story it's not pro wrestling, it's just guys jumping around like retards. If a wrestler isn't telling a story at any point then they're not wrestling.

Drew great attendance for NJPW.
Drew record-setting attendance for ROH.
One of the bigger quarter-hour draws in AEW.
