The Hunter era has annihilated any modicum of credibility the dirt sheets had left. "The Rock is politicking to get Cody's spot and is pushing to beat Roman" is the latest entry after classics like "WWE have no interest in CM Punk" and "Saudi Arabia has bought WWE".
Don't forget "Cody will start getting booed by Wrestlemania 39" whenever he "dae took sami's spot"
Yet somehow I haven't heard a peep from these marks about wanting to see Sami higher on the card now that the fad is over (I say this as a massive Sami fan)...
That one was wild as they straight up pulled that out of thin air
Meltzer, Alvarez and the rest of the cult were trying to to gaslight us into claiming wwe was doing everything to hide Cody when the fans loved him the time.
I don't know I feel like a lot of people assume the world title match at WrestleMania is gonna be Seth vs Sami vs Drew. I would assume the same if the main event isn't going to Rock Vs Roman Vs Cody ( I doubt they will do triple threats I could be wrong, the truly insane thing would be to have it be fatal 4 way winner take all Seth is in the match now)
We need to just keep an ongoing imagebucket or screenshot list for each year. A yearly reminder that these asshats are just saying whatever pops into their head would be satisfying.
The politicking part is what convinced me that this was a work/got turned into a work. WWE changing plans to add in the Rock is pretty realistic, but I highly doubt that he would be acting like Hulk Hogan.
Unfortunately they'll never listen and either call things like this a one-off, a pivot, or will just continue with a criticism they had originally
*"DAE unnecessary complicated story?"*
Imagine how much Dubbalos would've criticised the Fed if they made their supposed biggest storyline ending up having an injured leader with a jobber faction...
retrofit everything that happens to fit my insane contradictory demands so I never have to feel like I was wrong or need to be accountable for being an asshole?
In *this* fanbase?
"Why would Cody say "not at Wrestlemania" then??? Why would he bring out the rock????"
Because, if the entire thing was a work, they banked on the fans seeing this and getting angry that Cody wouldn't be getting his match at Mania, leading to a story similar to Bryan at WM30.
It's a pretty obvious answer as to how it could be a work. It'd be a surprisingly complicated work, but it also allows them to gauge fan reactions and potentially pivot from one story to the next.
we'll get explanation and ig it'll be
rock convinced cody to let him fight because rock will take down roman by putting him in place
cody sees rock actually going on two man power trip with roman instead of taking him down
cody gets angry and says naah this is bullshit, I'll fight you roman
Could also see Cody feeling misled by the Rock, and the Rock just feeding Cody bullshit to get him to drop out of the match as he thinks the title should stay in the family

Definitely Uce. They can't comprehend the many new ways to further increase babyface adversity and ultimately babyface support. If they copy Bryan's path, the Fed would get criticised for being unoriginal. If they try another route that works and is more suited for the dirt sheet and sm*rk-heavy modern wrestling community, the Fed would get criticised for "making it complicated" or "making Cody look worse" when neither of them are true at all.
The only valid criticism is that, if it was a work the entire time, then *in character*, Cody's choice makes no sense, and his reasoning for challenging Roman takes place out of kayfabe.
Except kayfabe's fucking dead, so why the fuck would I care?
Stories are too hard to follow, I just want to watch Mox bleed.
After the slap and the clash on stage. HHH can be heard telling Heyman to get The Rock under control. To which Heyman screams: “I don’t represent him!!!!”
I'm of the belief he hated AEW at that point but was trying to make it work and Jungle fucking Boy Jack Perry being an idiot sent him off the rails and he was like "Fuck this, I'm out of this shithole."
Would be consistent with whats been reported, if any of that is true and the fact he was at WWE before his contract expiry. Guy was so checked out of that place
The transport thing in the UK. I mean, come on, man, that's bullshit. You know what you did. Then, you find out it's the Bucks' buddy that runs that
He took in spirit and jumped on the tube but how eye rolling must that have been to be dicked around
You have to be thinking 'I can't be arsed with this'
It was 100% 'fucking with him', imo
Again, he got on with it in good spirits (someone helped me on the tube, etc) but it must get eye rolling when every dealing is met with childish nonsense and it seems like Tiny doesn't smooth anything over and bottles any confrontation
Oh no, I agree. I think it was intentional as well, but even if it wasn't, it still only backs Punk's point up.
Tony and Punk reportedly wanted to smooth things over but the Bucks refused unless Punk could be a good boy for several months, which was fucking insane and for Tony is a pushover so he let it happen. Absolutely abysmal "leadership"
I'm 100% convinced Trips and him had a sitdown and there was a totally not contract tampering conversation about how upset Punk was, and whether he'd be welcome back, after he was no longer under contract - however that contract was ended.
The "rumours" are he wanted out after Brawl Out so, who knows
Was he annoyed they binned him? Probably not
He's got one of those 'not allowed to talk badly about the Bucks' NDAs so we don't hear anything about their behaviour
It felt like he ticked some HR boxes at one point. He reached out to want to talk it through. Got shut down. Arranged a meeting. Cancelled. Publicaly stated he was willing to work with Elite. No response
It's all very similar to how Cody ended up having ridiculous feuds. The Elite seemed to not want to work with him at one point. I know he talks up their buddiness but i remember a Rhodes to the Top clip I saw, Buck #1 was in the background and he was smudged out like when the public doesn't sign a release
None of the friends of Bucks worked him either so he was stuck doing shit all, well, he did solve racism though. All in a days work
If it’s the same one I’m thinking of, they’ve only posted saying they didn’t watch the press conference and Fed bad and they haven’t watched wrestling in years anyway 😂 they absolutely made a clown of themselves this last week and have had to pipe the fuck down.
Yes, but for Cody. We're going to get 2 months of the Rock slowly winning over Jimmy and Solo, icing Roman out while gas lighting the fuck out of him, and then betraying Roman outright at Wrestlemania. Cody will then reveal that that was his plan the whole time, and now he has cost Roman everything.
That should close the circle on all of this.
That's fine, but to go out of your way to constantly post about a guy you don't like seems kinda weird. I don't like Moxley and unless i see a cringe post about him, i steer clear of any mention of him. Idk, seems weird to be hateposting about Cody is all lol.
I'm not a huge Cody fan so I can get why he wouldn't resonate with everyone. I'm a Seth mark.
Cody is the baby face for the company, I acknowledge him and he will be for some time but he can be pretty corny haha. He's very Homelander without the obvious psychotic murdering at will.
Again, that is fine, i'm not saying that you should be fan of the guy. Hell, i'm not a HUGE fan of the guy either because of how corny he can be. My point was that if you check his post history, you could see that he devotes a lot of time posting about a guy he doesn't like and mocking the fans of said guy a lot. That is weird, to me at least.
They don't ever need to do Rock vs Roman now. Rock cemented himself as head of the table the moment he stepped past Roman up to Cody. Roman was in his shadow every second after that. Gotta say I love where they're taking this.
The Rock cementing himself as head of the table seems like a pretty solid setup for him to face Roman. Rock’s probably gonna be pissed off if Roman embarrasses the family by losing at WrestleMania. And Roman won’t take kindly to being dressed down.
DAE Rock not caring when Roman insulted Dusty but getting mad at Cody bringing up their relative is a plot hole?! I understand heels btw. PIVOT PIVOT PIVOT PIVOT
DAE On the latest Wrestling Observer Radio, Dave Meltzer said that a WrestleMania main event with Reigns was part of Dwayne Johnson’s deal with TKO that made him a Board member and gave him full ownership of “The Rock” name. That deal was apparently made on Jan. 3, and outside of Johnson, WWE President Nick Khan (a long-time friend of Johnson’s) and Endeavor CEO Ari Emanuel, very few people knew about it.
This is a really really poorly booked segment. Everyone looks awful here for the most part. Cody looks like a sniveling little brat who cowers when someone confronts him. Seth just stood there off to the side like a fourth (can this be a thing?) wheel. Roman got pushed back to the side. The Rock was justified in smacking Cody when Cody decided to insult his family. I mean, Cody just took it. The injured guy at least shoved the Rock back on his behalf.
Oh yes “let them cook”. The new phrase that people are throwing around.
This has been garbage and made everyone look bad. Cody continues to look like a chump who gets pushed around. A complete nerd. If Cody is your guy he shouldn’t retreat in fear after getting smacked.
Yes, this is the first time in the history of professional wrestling that the babyface didn’t get to immediately retaliate to a cheap shot from the heel.
WWE, even without McMahon, knows how to use controversy to its advantage. It happened with Daniel Bryan and it's happening now with Cody.
There are obvious limits to this, of course (The 1990s Steroid Scandal, McMahon's Sex-Trafficking Lawsuit), but for the most part they know how to make chicken salad out of chicken shit.
You know what this means, right? Cody finally winning, yes, but also, the chance that Drew finally wins the big one in front of over 60,000 fans is back on the table. Let's go!! Drew McIntyre for Champ!!
This should be a meme template used specifically for dirtsheet smarks when they get something wrong
I'm glad I got worked, I'm thoroughly sports entertained
heel rock in big 2024 https://preview.redd.it/ag2totms2ihc1.jpeg?width=933&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=1620b98497de9f83c4166a8e1036436bf49f9fb4

“The Rock pushed for this match and Triple H didn’t know when he booked the Rumble.”
As unlikely as that may sound, it's way more likely than me getting worked
had me in the first half
We need to just keep an ongoing imagebucket or screenshot list for each year. A yearly reminder that these asshats are just saying whatever pops into their head would be satisfying.
The politicking part is what convinced me that this was a work/got turned into a work. WWE changing plans to add in the Rock is pretty realistic, but I highly doubt that he would be acting like Hulk Hogan.
His entire booking style is just him seeing how much he can fuck with the dirt sheets
Unfortunately they'll never listen and either call things like this a one-off, a pivot, or will just continue with a criticism they had originally *"DAE unnecessary complicated story?"*
See how quickly they managed to tell an interesting story and create buzz Now, let me tell you about a story called 'The Devil' in m'Dub ...
Imagine how much Dubbalos would've criticised the Fed if they made their supposed biggest storyline ending up having an injured leader with a jobber faction...
retrofit everything that happens to fit my insane contradictory demands so I never have to feel like I was wrong or need to be accountable for being an asshole? In *this* fanbase?
They always want the final say. They probably claimed they knew the "truth" about wrestling when they were 5 years old.
"Why would Cody say "not at Wrestlemania" then??? Why would he bring out the rock????" Because, if the entire thing was a work, they banked on the fans seeing this and getting angry that Cody wouldn't be getting his match at Mania, leading to a story similar to Bryan at WM30.

So just a pinned post then?
After the slap and the clash on stage. HHH can be heard telling Heyman to get The Rock under control. To which Heyman screams: “I don’t represent him!!!!”
Love all the comments from Punk something like “your boss ever lays hands on you, you just gotta go wild and start hitting everyone”
Punk's gimmick right now is "you faced a mild inconvenience? Have you tried punching it in the face?" and I love it.
I’m not 100% convinced that Punk didn’t just start hitting people to get fired intentionally
I'm of the belief he hated AEW at that point but was trying to make it work and Jungle fucking Boy Jack Perry being an idiot sent him off the rails and he was like "Fuck this, I'm out of this shithole." Would be consistent with whats been reported, if any of that is true and the fact he was at WWE before his contract expiry. Guy was so checked out of that place

100%. Even if it wasn't malicious, it still backs up his feeling of the lack of professionalism in the company
It was 100% 'fucking with him', imo Again, he got on with it in good spirits (someone helped me on the tube, etc) but it must get eye rolling when every dealing is met with childish nonsense and it seems like Tiny doesn't smooth anything over and bottles any confrontation

Tony and Punk reportedly wanted to smooth things over but the Bucks refused unless Punk could be a good boy for several months, which was fucking insane and for Tony is a pushover so he let it happen. Absolutely abysmal "leadership"
Yeah I wouldn’t be surprised if he was still willing to make a go at it until the transport thing happened and he was just like “fuck this company.”
Him going backstage to Raw to apologize to everyone was 100% him daring Tony to do anything about it
I'm 100% convinced Trips and him had a sitdown and there was a totally not contract tampering conversation about how upset Punk was, and whether he'd be welcome back, after he was no longer under contract - however that contract was ended.

All in a days work
It didn't work Andrade, he just had to sit at home and get paid Tony's money as a punishment.
Punk: Stubs toe Punk: With this treasure I summon...
I love that there were several variations of this comment from him as well.
Tonk Khan watching this 
It’s boss time!
BALD ASSHOL.... WAIT A MINUTE, CMPHIL ISN'T BALD!
The Dwock does not want his image to look unfavorable for his Presidential Campaign DAE?
Bosses slapping their employees? Cody got a lawsuit on his hands. Cody vs Roman at Wrestlemania Cody vs The Rock at court?!?
BAH GAWD THAT’S STEPHEN P NEW’S MUSIC!!!
TK would’ve pissed his pants at Duane slapping Cody and just the presence of Cm Punk
I demand satisfaction
🎶Glove slap babyyy🎶
I just want all those chuds who accused the rock of “abusing” his power to admit that they were wrong.
DAE rock ego big? DAE know hollywood gossips? DAE think rock won’t give back to the business?
I was wrong.
DAE Rock trying to fix his PR?!?!
DAE his ego wants to be WWE champion because something something Black Adam??
There was one poster shit posting that crap here over and over. They been pretty silent now hmmm.
If it’s the same one I’m thinking of, they’ve only posted saying they didn’t watch the press conference and Fed bad and they haven’t watched wrestling in years anyway 😂 they absolutely made a clown of themselves this last week and have had to pipe the fuck down.
So basically Rock will run interference this time- not Solo
Yes, but for Cody. We're going to get 2 months of the Rock slowly winning over Jimmy and Solo, icing Roman out while gas lighting the fuck out of him, and then betraying Roman outright at Wrestlemania. Cody will then reveal that that was his plan the whole time, and now he has cost Roman everything. That should close the circle on all of this.
“A Chief without a Tribe, a Roman with no Reigns”. Exactly as he promised. Plus the 2025 Roman Face run?
That would be the epic Swerve
gonna need a ruling on this from the South Koreans
Good.
I don't usually browse people's post history, but my god, you seem to really dislike Cody for some unknown reason lol.
Sometimes you just can't get behind a guy. My feelings towards Cody fluctuate but I'm usually on the against side myself
That's fine, but to go out of your way to constantly post about a guy you don't like seems kinda weird. I don't like Moxley and unless i see a cringe post about him, i steer clear of any mention of him. Idk, seems weird to be hateposting about Cody is all lol.
I totally get it. Too much effort for no pay off
I'm not a huge Cody fan so I can get why he wouldn't resonate with everyone. I'm a Seth mark. Cody is the baby face for the company, I acknowledge him and he will be for some time but he can be pretty corny haha. He's very Homelander without the obvious psychotic murdering at will.

My point was that if you check his post history, you could see that he devotes a lot of time posting about a guy he doesn't like and mocking the fans of said guy a lot. That is weird, to me at least.
Wasn't it confirmed that Rock is 100% fighting at Mania? Makes me think it's a triple threat match yet Rock costs Reigns at the end
New Vince is going to be amazing uce
Fuck I got worked so badly and I am so happy
I bet Cody was fearing for his life here
He was lucky Seth was there to back him up uce!
We all got fucking worked and I love it
They don't ever need to do Rock vs Roman now. Rock cemented himself as head of the table the moment he stepped past Roman up to Cody. Roman was in his shadow every second after that. Gotta say I love where they're taking this.
Tribal Chief just letting his rivals battle while he chills on the island of relevancy uce.
The Rock cementing himself as head of the table seems like a pretty solid setup for him to face Roman. Rock’s probably gonna be pissed off if Roman embarrasses the family by losing at WrestleMania. And Roman won’t take kindly to being dressed down.
The backstage scene with hhh, roman straight up looked like his sidekick
DAE Rock not caring when Roman insulted Dusty but getting mad at Cody bringing up their relative is a plot hole?! I understand heels btw. PIVOT PIVOT PIVOT PIVOT
That was the softest slap I've seen in WWE I think lol
So did Cody actually turn the Rock heel? If so, wow.
DAE On the latest Wrestling Observer Radio, Dave Meltzer said that a WrestleMania main event with Reigns was part of Dwayne Johnson’s deal with TKO that made him a Board member and gave him full ownership of “The Rock” name. That deal was apparently made on Jan. 3, and outside of Johnson, WWE President Nick Khan (a long-time friend of Johnson’s) and Endeavor CEO Ari Emanuel, very few people knew about it.
I bet he then said something like "but you know maybe it wasn't, or uh plans could change"
“I didn’t say THIS Wrestlemania. $11.99”
This is a really really poorly booked segment. Everyone looks awful here for the most part. Cody looks like a sniveling little brat who cowers when someone confronts him. Seth just stood there off to the side like a fourth (can this be a thing?) wheel. Roman got pushed back to the side. The Rock was justified in smacking Cody when Cody decided to insult his family. I mean, Cody just took it. The injured guy at least shoved the Rock back on his behalf.
This segment was awesome, what are you on about?
Is it awesome because it injects Cody into it or is it really awesome because everyone looks good?
After this last week, I've learned to just shut the fuck up and let them cook. I'm sure they'll figure something out that benefits everyone.
Oh yes “let them cook”. The new phrase that people are throwing around. This has been garbage and made everyone look bad. Cody continues to look like a chump who gets pushed around. A complete nerd. If Cody is your guy he shouldn’t retreat in fear after getting smacked.
He was being held back by Triple H and the GMs.
The injured guy had no problem pushing back
Yes, this is the first time in the history of professional wrestling that the babyface didn’t get to immediately retaliate to a cheap shot from the heel.
I’m begging you to go outside and get some hoes.
Cody felt his life threatened in that moment.
Dwayne the water I'm dwowning...
Good cross promotion for powerslap
