News sites reporting Cody possibly tore his pec lifting weights but he's going to try and work the show tonight

[slik]

It's the summer of injuries

Wonder if Cody is going to be all bruised like Triple H when he tore his pec in that Saudi match.

[Jordan]

Jesus this is going to be grueling.

[Jordan]

I could see this being a WORK. It's got Cody written all over it.

WWE should dress up Curtis Axel as Cody and send him out there and just pretend he's always been Cody the entire time

[xrodmuc316]

Remember Naomi quit rather than have to have a PPV Title Match against Bianca Belair because, well turns out Sasha Banks loses her mind in the tag division :rofl:

This sounds like it will be Deshaun Watson's favorite kind of match :lol:

[Jordan]

All three women very beautiful.

[Jordan]

Asuka my favorite female wrestler ever, also one of the best wrestlers period right now/for the last several years. Love Asuka.

[Jordan]

If I was to go on a date with one of the three I'd probably pick Bianca because she's so stunning and also I think she'd be open to any type of food and she'd be able to put it away no doubt, she's a big girl she'd eat. We'd probably go to a Turkish Restaurant and have laughs as we got to know one and other.

[slik]

Feel like this triple threat will probably be the best match on the show

[Jordan]

Can't have a black feud without incorporating some hip-hop! Nice one WWE!

[Jordan]

Could you imagine if Cody gets "taken out" backstage after Seth enters the Cell. Nobody knows what's going on, the lights go out and then THE FIEND returns to demolish Seth and eat his soul. WWE could use him back, at least a well booked version of Bray, not The Fiend exactly.

[Jordan]

Omos could find a cooler more athletic looking pair of pants to wrestle in. Even like swat cargo pants would look better.

[Jordan]

Bobby Lashley one of my favorites in WWE he's great. I think he's great.

[slik]

If Cody's out they should just run with Lashley as the top face on RAW

[slik]

Have Lashley and Edge ever feuded?

[slik]

Damn @ Ezekiel losing

[slik]

the man of a million abs, finn

[slik]

damn aj styles bleeding a lot, not sure how that happened

[Jordan]

I wasn't paying attention but I missed blood that sucks!

[Jordan]

Madcap Moss is JACKED, like a WWE Jay White

[xrodmuc316]

Madcap Moss has been around forever. He first signed with NXT before the WWE Network even launched!

[slik]

Ali's gear looks good

[Jordan]

MUST AH VAH

[Triple A]

watching now

Austin Theory very good

[xrodmuc316]

LOL Seth Rollins such a jerk!

[slik]

lol @ Seth's gear

[slik]

watching now

Austin Theory very good

yeah, he's definite future main-eventer

[Jordan]

Cody is damaged

[Jordan]

Terrible!

[slik]

Aghhh @ Cody's chest

[Triple A]

damn...

[xrodmuc316]

Damn Cody's chest looks exactly like Triple H's did

https://s.yimg.com/uu/api/res/1.2/4TCTG9VnzFP.0OtGW14LIg--~B/aD01NTU7dz01NTI7YXBwaWQ9eXRhY2h5b24-/http://media.zenfs.com/en/homerun/feed_manager_auto_publish_494/c4d26c8f36e73bd3741c5e2cb7a8adfa

[Jordan]

This is TERRIBLE oh my SO painful to watch him. This is so painful. He wants his Triple H quad tear respect but my lord man. This is too much.

[Triple A]

if that isn't makeup, seems fucked that he's wrestling...

[Jordan]

He's so swollen I can't imagine it's makeup.

[Jordan]

Every bump is killing him man. He could injure other parts of his body compensating for the pain caused by the pec tear. It's really terrible. All that Cody chest meat on the right ripped in half you guys and it's gone like a rubber band snapped in half just rolled up on each side of the tear. Probably near his lat and his shoulder.

[Wehttam]

absolute madman

[Triple A]

Yeah I doubt it's makeup, would prob rub off if so anyway

seems crazy that's he's wrestling, could cause more damage........

[Jordan]

Plus that is exactly what muscle tears look like it's gross.

[Jordan]

He's making it so much worse I bet.

[Jordan]

OH my god... the steps. Man this is fucking so brutal you guys, I'm weak. I fainted you know, a few weeks ago when watching episode 3 of The Staircase on HBO. It made me faint the scene where she died. I straight up fainted on my couch like I was a broad from a 1930's movie. Feels like that now watching this.

[Jordan]

I feel like that tip of the belt is slapping his bicep where it looks like some meat has rolled up into.. fuck me

[Triple A]

smh crowd popping big for heel Rollins

Feel bad for Cody

[Jordan]

Oh fuck they are turning on Cody.

[xrodmuc316]

That is one of those injuries where you cannot really make it worse, it is already torn completely off the bone. As long as his other tendons around it are still in tact so the stability is not compromised, it is not an immediate need to get it fixed.

[Jordan]

Good job on Seth for getting heat when the crowd was turning like that. That's a pro, not from the Nash playbook!

[xrodmuc316]

Oh fuck they are turning on Cody.

Naw they were just thanking Seth for getting the table.

[Jordan]

Bro I know you are one of the smart boys around here trust me I have intellect too and my intuition is keen. But I am also a meat doctor and I know about meat tears and shit like that and let me tell you bro he's in trouble and he needs help.

[Triple A]

Let`s go Cody!!!

[Destor]

Bro I know you are one of the smart boys around here trust me I have intellect too and my intuition is keen. But I am also a meat doctor and I know about meat tears and shit like that and let me tell you bro he's in trouble and he needs help.
lol wut

[xrodmuc316]

Thus reminds me of the one year Rey tore his bicep completely off the bone and still fought Edge. I think it was a Royal Rumble maybe? Or maybe when Big Show returned and Mayweather came in?

[slik]

nasty gash on seth's arm

[Jordan]

Cody is so great man. This is gonna go down with his match with Dustin at least for the brutality of him working through this injury and the way they've worked the drama so well.

[Jordan]

Probably never seen a guy work through and injury like this for this long at this level of intensity.

[xrodmuc316]

Bro I know you are one of the smart boys around here trust me I have intellect too and my intuition is keen. But I am also a meat doctor and I know about meat tears and shit like that and let me tell you bro he's in trouble and he needs help.

No no, I just mean he has a small window before he has to get the surgery. Going back to Triple H when he did it, he did not get immediate surgery, he flew home from Saudi and got the surgery I believe 3 days afterwards. Cody likely getting the surgery either tomorrow or Tuesday, if I had to guess.

[Jordan]

Oh man what a fucking match, that table spot and lead up was great.

[Jordan]

I hate the sledgehammer!

[slik]

Cody looks like he is in a lot of pain

[Jordan]

Hope nobody contracts the Monkeypox virus at this live show! Gross!

[xrodmuc316]

Putting Cody in position for a pedigree, that had to hurt like all hell to Cody

[Jordan]

Cody's injury looks to be changing colors a bit as the match goes on. I'm seeing a lot more bright red/pink marks in certain spots.

[RaginRonic]

Cody's earned his money tonight..O.o

[Jordan]

Unbelievable that Cody is able to pull this off right now, fucking incredible effort.

[xrodmuc316]

This match is absolutely bonkers!

[Triple A]

Cody's injury looks to be changing colors a bit as the match goes on. I'm seeing a lot more bright red/pink marks in certain spots.

yeah jeez...

[Jordan]

Amazing man, so glad I saw that.

[Triple A]

that was crazy that they pulled off that match with that

[slik]

Cody's definitely winning the Rumble for working that match

[Jordan]

Cody just earned the top spot or at least the one under Roman. Amazing.

[Triple A]

g*d damn @ bright red/pink marks showing up on the pec now

[slik]

Cody's chest is MORE swollen and looks worse than it did 30 minutes ago, aghhhhhhhh

[RaginRonic]

Pec or no pec, Cody's now a hoss in WWE....fuck that was crazy.

@.@

[Jordan]

Cody is a goddamn legend man. Wow. He has had a lot of moments in the last few years. This to me was probably the coolest one maybe next too his match with Dustin at DON.

[xrodmuc316]

I cant wait for Meltzer to give Cody 3.75 stars for that match :roll:

[xrodmuc316]

https://i.redd.it/9hy7rtsd3x391.jpg

[Destor]

i hope punks foot is ok

[James Steele]

Holy shit @ Cody. What’s the recovery time on this surgery? Hopefully he can cash in on this momentum. This is the kind of performance that puts you in a different stratosphere.

[Ol Dirty Dastard]

If Vince remembers Cody did this, Cody is gold for the rest of his run.

[Jordan]

How long should recovery take for torn pec muscle? Generally, low-grade tears take 4-6 weeks to recover, while high-grade tears can take 3-4 months. Remember, recovery time is not only determined by the grade of injury but how quickly you heal after surgery. GOOGLE

[Loose Cannon]

I enjoyed the show a lot. I find that I enjoy WWE a lot more when I don't watch Raw and Smackdown and just watch the PPV's lol.

Cody Rhodes man. Respect. crazy what running on adrenaline and probably a few pain killers can do sometimes. I'm not a huge fan of a million finishers being hit and false finishes galore, but it was entertaining. Props to Seth to for being able to work around Cody's injury and carry his load. I actually like not needing the World Title to close the show. Keeping the belt on one show is cool with me.

[#1-norm-fan]

If Cody had done this a year ago, the SPWW forum would be calling for the head of the guy running the company that allowed it.

[Ol Dirty Dastard]

It's insane that they let him go--but it was a wise short-term business decision for Cody. He solidified his brand something fierce.

Typical Dubbalo

[#1-norm-fan]

It always seems to trigger a nonsensical response when I shine a light on cult hypocrisy. That’s unfortunate. Would you like to talk about it?

[#1-norm-fan]

I don’t think there was any real danger of causing worse injury so... fuck it. I’ve got no problem with it.

I’m just saying that a year ago... you know what would have been happening. :rofl:

[#1-norm-fan]

Using that emoji felt gross. I won’t be doing it in the future. Sorry, ron.

[xrodmuc316]

WAAAAAAAAHH IT IS NOT OK THAT CODY IS GETTING PRAISED BECAUSE FEDBAD!! IN FACT IT IS OK FOR ME TO HAVE A PROBLEM WITH IT BECAUSE PEOPLE WOULD HYPOTHETICALLY BE UPSET WITH TINY KHAN IF IT HAPPENED IN TNAEW!! AND NO, IT HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH MY HERO CRYING OVER CRACKING A BONE IN HIS FOOT JUMPING INTO A GUARDRAIL!! IF ROMAN DID THAT IN FEDBAD...YEAH WANNA TALK ABOUT IT??? DUUUUURRRRRRRRP!

That's you :'(

[Ol Dirty Dastard]

Some classic Xrod mastery right here.

[#1-norm-fan]

*5 minutes later*



... IT IS OK FOR ME TO HAVE A PROBLEM WITH IT...

That's you :'(

Oof. Bad look here. Once again the written word takes you down. Let’s try another form of communication. Wanna talk about it?

[xrodmuc316]

[Splaya]

The match lasted 24 minutes.
A complete tear of the Pec.
Remember back when HHH tore his pec it was DURING the match so he had all the adrenaline.

Cody tore his pec BEFORE the match. So he had to go through that match knowing how much pain he was going to be in and how brutal it was going to be.

Cody is in my eyes now the absolute TOUGHEST wrestler there is.

[Mr. Nerfect]

I’m torn. At first I was like “Why let him work injured?” But you can see why Cody (and Vince, but especially Cody) would see value in this impression being made. He can go away and “play it safe,” come back and be…whatever that is. Or he can come back after leaving this distinct fucking impression and if he was already worth what he was being paid, he’ll be worth double it then.

The smart business kind of trumps the truthfully barbaric nature of wrestling on this one, I think. All the press I’ve seen from it has been “Holy shit, wow.” A bit different from a guy getting concussed in the middle of a match and the company just ignoring it. For example.

This is what I mean. A lot of people feel this way now. And that extends to the WWE, and to what AEW’s champion couldn’t or didn’t do.

The negative consequence on this, outside of it has caused Cody any more complications, is if this becomes the new Foley jumping off the roof and we go backwards towards guys gutting out things they shouldn’t and companies thinking it makes them “cool” to send out guys with bicep tears or whatever to fall apart.

[Splaya]

Multiple prominent writers said they heard from people all over the industry that it was the gutsiest, craziest thing anyone has ever seen. And that's people praising him from all over. He's gonna be seen as a badass and even WWE isn't going to be criticized for this because it was a fully torn pec and it was his decision

[Splaya]

Like thing about this. The guy had NO motion at all without feeling pain. Simple bumps would have caused severe pain. And he did it for 24 minutes.

I'm one of CM Punk's biggest fans. But I mean the guy could walk to the ring. Undertaker wrestled on a broken foot in the hell in a cell. Multiple other wrestlers have gone through way worse. I don't see Punk in a boot or a cast. So he's a bitch. Plain and simple.

[Splaya]

The story I would love to hear from this is that he partially tore his pec on Monday (storyline). So when he found that out, he opted to train to TEAR the pec fully ON PURPOSE. It would be a crazy way to talk about the injury but he's already a psycho and badass for competing in the match. Who's to say he didn't tear it this bad on purpose knowing that if it was only partially torn, he couldn't compete in the match. It's a completely fucked up thing to say and believe but at this point who the fuck cares.

All depends on what the doctor says. If they can't make it worse, they will leave it up to the wrestler. If it can be made worse, or it can hurt any parts of the body around it, then they are shut down.

[Mr. Nerfect]

And what he’s reaping from this totally helps me understand his decision. He’s stepping up, he’s being that main event guy, that true star. I do think it will lead to diminishing returns the next time someone wants to do this because they want to be as tough as Cody Rhodes, because they need to stand out somehow, but miss the part where Cody can give the performances outside that, this was a main event match, etc.

People thought Foley was just over because of the bumps. They missed the promos, his selling, his top level work for years. He was also the guy to do something on that scale that way. Most other things (all?) have failed to live up because they’re chasing its tail.

[Splaya]

Look at Brock and Roman from this years Mania. If memory served me, they both got hurt early on. But they both gutted it out and went on for another 5-8 minutes before the match ended. Because they get it. They know what it's like to be seen as the top star and the responsibilities with it.

[Splaya]

If there's anyone that Cody indirectly gives a middle finger too and makes their actions look completely stupid is Sasha Banks and Naomi. Cody goes out, wrestles the main event of a PPV inside a gimmick match designed to influence extreme pain and punishment with an injury that most people would get surgery for right away if they could and on the flip Banks is crying because another female comes back and takes her spot in the main event. I understand being upset but this is a huge FUCK YOU to the both of them.

[xrodmuc316]

That is exactly it, they said if it was a partial tear he would not have been cleared, but with it already completely torn it there was little risk of making it worse, just extremely painful.

Well, Cody is getting what he wants creatively, too. Sasha & Naomi are getting focus, but it isn’t the focus they want. Would Cody still be doing that if he were about to lose to Omos as orchestrated by The Miz?

[Mr. Nerfect]

I think it goes without saying that WWE won the PPV contest this month. Double or Nothing feels like nun’s fart compared to the stir Cody made.

<s>Bad</s> Weird take.

[#1-norm-fan]

Yeah, I don’t get the link between the two situations. Good for Cody “sucking it up” and fighting through an injury but I don’t think that says anything in regards to someone “sucking it up” when it comes to being unhappy with their booking.

[Ol Dirty Dastard]

"You think your booking's bad? Well I'm gonna work through a horrible, grotesque injury because my booking is much better! That'll show you!"
