Cody Rhodes is amazing right now.

Sorry, but it seems "strange" to me that when I explain why I think he needs improvement, the smarks here sidestep answering the issues I have with his character. Saying you like him and that's enough is an empty statement. It makes more sense to explain why you do or don't like him. Funny too how by me saying I don't like him and giving explainations why I don't, the smarks here flame me and bad rep me. But I take this shit seriously??? I'd rather be considered a moron for giving my opinion and discussing something rationally than blindly marking out for a guy.

Where were you called a moron? I know that you used the word, I don't remember anybody calling you a moron though. You seem to be needlessly defensive in every thread you partake in. That's just an observation/MY OPINION, not a flame by the way.

Also, surely the term "marking out" by definition means that you don't have to give a rational explanation? Dunno. Maye I'm wrong there.

I have yet to see ABT or XL say why they think Cody is so amazing. When I actually try asking for an answer after I explain why I don't like him, all they do is respond with one sentence and totally avoid the question. In several instances name calling or flaming my views. Wow, I could never see that coming. It's wrestling smarks like these that make intelligent discussion impossible at wrestling forums. They'd rather attack me for having an original thought or idea than discuss a topic. Ironic too that I'm accused of taking this seriously, but they respond to every reply I make, often not even discussing the topic itself...:foc:

For the record, I like Cody because despite his lack of size he has 'presence'. A lot of that is because of his mic work, which, for a guy with a speak impediment, is pretty "amazing".

His delivery is solid pretty much 100% of the time, he handles what is a fairly "difficult" character very well AND he is good in the ring.

We've established that noboby thinks he is the next Austin/Rock, but I am enjoying his work in the MIDCARD - where interesting characters are very rare.
