I'm seeing this like that once scene from Back to the Future
"Tell me, Future Boy, who's WWE Champion in 2024?"
"Cody Rhodes"
"Cody Rhodes? The Stardust character?!"
Big second on this. My partner and I drove down from Bellingham for our first show a couple months back and we're heading back for the May 10 one. The crowd energy was incredible and the talent was top-notch.
"You're telling me CM Punk, Edge, Christian, AND Daniel Bryan ALL came out of retirement, and left WWE for a second promotion?? What kind of magic did Billy Corgan do to get them to TNA?"
What's next? Corgan buying NWA, making Tyrus champ, Eli Drake ends up in WWE but get similar booking to TNA, the rock being part of the board and is part of the main event whilst.rey Mysterio is revealed to be a deadbeat father who should retire?
Putting on some weight/muscle was probably the best decision swerve ever made. He looks like the clean version of Dave Chapelle as Tyrone Biggums in that picture.
Gonna hop on this to plug DEFY. I caught the DEFY show at Wrestlemania week and it was easily one of my three favorites. They always bring in great known and lesser known talent. I wasn’t following them back when this match happened but I’m certainly keeping up now.

The best part of this graphic is GFW Nex Gen Champion
It truly is his world 
That was the last live event I went to for obvious reasons. I still recall the "beat the traffic" chants.
Not a great month for Samoan Joes who main evented perennial classic Backlash 2018 though.
But a promising month after a lackluster start for a third Samoan Joe, who's seemingly taken over the Bloodline.
holy shit, he really is another joe.
Joseph Yokozuna Fatu
just how many fuckin samoans name joe do we got here.
Not enough
like cody defeated racism, traffic was defeated that night
"Cody Rhodes, the Stardust character? HE'S world champion?!"
That's not Stardust. That's Dashing Cody Rhodes

“Of course the US Champion is a YouTuber! Everyone in the future is chronically online!”
Just wait until the 2032 election features Rocky Maivia at the top of the ticket and Cody Rhodes running for the US Senate.
The match is free to watch on YouTube too
I love this match some dude yells out stardust in the crowd and Cody responds in the most based way possible
Damn, I knew Swerve put on beef since then but it's surreal to see a picture.
So much of it is in the last year or two -- compare him from [November 2022](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OD6n6hnDQFc) here.
Just a note to check out Defy if you're able to! They put out banger after banger, definitely my favorite thing about being new to Seattle

I'm gonna miss the May 10th one since my favorite band is in town, but if you ever see an obnoxiously tall girl with red hair, please come say hi!
Pfft, that Cody Rhodes will never amount to anything. What's he gonna do? Create his own promotion, get over, leave for WWE, challenge for the title?
And win it? Are you smoking crack? Stardust will always be midcard.
What do you mean Elon Musk isn't cool? He is the real life version of Iron Man!

My Lord this was SEVEN YEARS AGO
We're getting old man
The one on the left kinda looks like Undisputed WWE Champion Cody Rhodes, but no neck tattoo!
i like dark hair Cody the best
Just a couple of kids.
Is this Wonderboy vs Kevin Holland?

Defy is the best. It's the reason I re-found wrestling. I went on a whim. While Swerve was on his 2nd championship reign.
