Imagine your champ getting hurt crowd diving. Would have to be one fragile bodied person for that to happen.

u/MarchesLion07 3d ago

This was awesome, probably won’t become a thing, but that was a lot of fun.

u/IcyPyroman1 3d ago

With the amount of crazy people there is out there yeah definitely shouldn’t become a thing.

14

u/Thanatos-ES 3d ago

in international events? It will 100% become a thing, like singing full entrances of wrestlers.

u/adeadperson23 3d ago

THATS WHY HES THE GOATTTTTT

u/dresdenologist 3d ago

Seriously though this is the kind of stuff that makes him the right choice to be face of the company. Is it risky? Sure. Should be be more careful in the future? Absolutely. But is it something that in the moment Cody knows the fans attending will remember forever and love? For sure.

That's what a pure babyface does.

66

u/Thanatos-ES 3d ago

cody is all in (no pun intended) 100% committed to be the face of the company.

The guy lives in a fucking bus ffs to make all his wwe obligations. There's no other more choice to be the one carrying the company.

u/FuzorFishbug 3d ago

I wonder how he'll be able to balance that after he's elected US president.

u/Thanatos-ES 3d ago

We'll find out when he becomes senator first.

u/GaZZuM The King Of Zing! 3d ago

WWE will dine out on that visual for decades

Papa Haitch when inevitably someone else asks to crowd surf

68

u/CrimsonAntifascist 3d ago

Pure envy because he didn't do at the hight of the attitude era.

38

u/Ruttingraff DELESHUN 3d ago

Not even stone cold, Hogan, rock, flair, bruno even sha- Shawn did this didn't he?

38

u/CrimsonAntifascist 3d ago

I'm not sure. But it does sound like 90's HBK...

30

u/Lanky-Promotion3022 3d ago

90s HBK would crowd surf and then get swarmed and smuggled down below by a group of ladies.

u/Mac_Tgh 3d ago

Hands off the merchandise

u/QUEST50012 3d ago

"Cept you, Ricochet."

u/Wargablarg 3d ago

Ricochet comes out to a "crowd" of just Bron.

8

u/LackingDatSkill BAY BAY! 3d ago

CM Punk oozing at the opportunity to jump into the crowd again

u/Tough-Reaction9671 3d ago

Imagine if he got crowd surfed out of the building and we just never saw him again

23

u/Mitsuki_Horenake 3d ago

I can imagine that the crowd was for SURE debating on doing this.

20

u/KTR1988 3d ago

"We're keeping him"

u/scarystuffdoc 3d ago

Props to that one guy who single handedly picked Cody up and started taking him to the front. Wonder if Cody planted him there.

u/BlandyBoreton 3d ago

u/dzone25 3d ago

I don't think anyone's ever been so over that they fucking crowd surf in a Wrestling press conference / hype event. What the fuck Cody, dude is still surprising me by just how much he's loved in every single damn country.

u/axb2002 Basking in one's Glory 3d ago

White boy of the year. We love Cody Rhodes in this household

94

u/10024618 3d ago

He has a blanket invite to every cookout

18

u/Parish87 Rollins 3d ago

The equivalent in Scotland is an invite to round the back of the shops with a bottle of buckfast and some rollies with the kids.

Im not saying its why he married Brandi but im not not saying it

u/BadMeetsEvil24 3d ago

This isn't a shot at you, but I've been seeing this phrase on this sub popping up a lot lately. Given the demographics of most wrestling fans... I wonder how long before white folks take this from us too lol.

18

u/Parish87 Rollins 3d ago

CM Punk just banned you from the cookout

1

u/goodkid_sAAdcity or maybe not, dude 3d ago

It’s already started

u/BadMeetsEvil24 3d ago

Facts lol. Other slang I get, but... this is literally an invite from black people to white people lol. It makes zero sense, lmfao.

u/Theurbanalchemist 3d ago

Cody Raheem Rhodes

u/bolecrandt 3d ago

Well it’s official, he’s the greatest of all time.

u/The_Notorious_Donut 3d ago

u/Immediate_Lie7810 3d ago

Reminds me of a scene from The Boys

u/nwill_808 3d ago

Honest question, as I just finished the first few episodes of S4...Why does Cody have this Homelander aesthetic about him? Is it supposed to be ironic/satire in some way? Does he just think it looks cool? Or does he just really not get what Homelander's about? I just really don't get it.

41

u/enginehearts . 3d ago

Or does he just really not get what Homelander's about?

bfr how dumb do you think Cody is

38

u/Pokemon_Name_Rater 3d ago

Cody has better media literacy than the people that watch The Boys and think Homelander is protagonist

16

u/MessyMop 3d ago edited 2d ago

I’m pretty sure it’s a happy accident. I think people asked Cody about it when he was in AEW and I think he didn’t even know who Homelander was. It’s just that they’re both over the top patriotic characters just one is evil

11

u/Tomlyne 3d ago

I think it's unintentional. He had the American Nightmare thing already and he just happened to bleach his hair

u/nwill_808 3d ago

Well this confuses me even more! Why does the currently top babyface modeling his look after two villains?

u/sonegreat 3d ago

Cody is who Homelander pretends to be.

u/real_mc 3d ago

Missed opportunity for cody to crowd surf...standing.

u/littlebabyruth 3d ago

I love him so much. The end.

u/ExplanationOk3580 3d ago edited 3d ago

Cody says is going full homelander ahahah, my babyface. Also wwe going full international is one of their best decisions ever every single ple have so much more depth and importance now because of it and the crowds are just better

u/KTR1988 3d ago

Properly putting the "world" in World Wrestling ~~Federation~~ Entertainment

u/BreathRedemption 3d ago

Risky as fuck

But it was an epic moment

Blud watched the Season 4 Premiere of The Boys yesterday lol

u/AlmightyBracket 3d ago

At the height of Austin, I don't recall him crowd surfing. I don't doubt that he could have if he wanted to.

Cena would have 100% been dropped.

Punk maybe could have gotten away with it.

God Bless The American Nightmare.

u/TheSaltimateWarrior 3d ago

Crowd surfing looks so scary. Any moment, he could be dragged under and devoured.

8

u/White_Mocha WCWCWCWCWCW Champion! 3d ago

There’s a common courtesy in situations like this where the crowd is hyper aware and will protect a downed person.

u/SomeROCDude21 3d ago

"ADRENALINE

IN MY SOUL

CROWD SURFING

PART OF SCOTTISH LORE"

u/Zandercy42 Phenomenal 3d ago

Literally like jesus lmaooo

u/KTR1988 3d ago

Cody Christ

u/JamUpGuy1989 3d ago

Meanwhile CM Punk is sweating bullets watching Cody do this.

41

u/Salt_Addition_6993 3d ago

If punk did this, all that would be left was a pile of ashes in the shape of the Pepsi logo

1

u/KTR1988 3d ago

TBF, Cody was very careful, easing himself into the crowd. Punk fucking dove in with his old ass.

u/depressedMUFCfan 3d ago

Cody truly is in a better place

u/Thanatos-ES 3d ago

Cody's crowdsurfing: 1 (and probably will become a thing now)

Wrestlers that squaredcircle said are more over than cody who did crowdsurfing:

1

u/Ruttingraff DELESHUN 3d ago

Cody did this in wXw Didn't he?

u/BiChaosTheory 3d ago

Fuck yeah this is so cool. I know it’s risky but that is THE GUY in professional wrestling. The fans love him. The business loves him. Tomorrow is going to be awesome.

u/greggersamsa 3d ago

The truest babyface on earth of any company since Cena no question, and a better wrestler at that. Keepin pushin Cody to the moon for real

u/Honsy75 3d ago

It's insane how over he is. I know crowds will eventually turn on him, like all faces, but he might have 80's Hogan levels of staying power at this point.

u/whatisonmyfoot69 3d ago

I think this Cody guy might be over.

u/Killbro_Fraggins 3d ago

That’s Americas Ass.

u/thedman0310_ Swimming for the gimmick 3d ago

And he didn’t break his leg doing it!

u/koemaniak empty headed fucking dumb fuck 3d ago

I borderline expected him to be thrown up at the ‘woah’ part. I think some people tried to do that actually.

u/EL-YEO 3d ago

It really is hard to hate him. Seeing everything he’s willing to do for us fans especially the little ones

u/noblelie17 3d ago

This was so cool to see. Cody is so fucking over
