Had a sweet death match in Barnesville, GA with Jimmy Havoc back in April that only myself and Kris Zellner saw.
I thought the Okada match in Long Beach was fine.
Is he a top tier in ring guy? Haha. No.
Is it within reason that he makes a top 100 list for the year? Absolutely.
He sits at 91 on my list right now, just above Tamina.
Never know how things turn out, baby.

I would put him in that 80-90 range. He's just bland to me, some of his BC stuff is good...others are not, I think the match at the Long Beach show was better than most ppl think, title run has beeen meh so far but still a serviceable hand imo

He's a technically sound, but I think the only reason he has even serviceable matches is because he routinely works some of the best wrestlers in the world. He has enough bottom of the barrel nothing matches to easily leave him off a top 200 list, let alone this.
Guess he's a top draw though.

The only thing that struck me as terrible was the absolute stinker with Juice, but when you consider how well Juice has done this year that really says a lot. He was just OK in most everything else I saw him in and even his better matches against guys like Okada and Elgin saw him clearly being carried. Not gonna make it. Aggressively average at best.

Cody sucks. This may be irrational and based off his personality, and I haven't seen all of his stuff this year, but he just sucks. The Okada match was Okada's worst title defense of the year, the Suzuki match was garbage. The Juice Robinson Dome match was one of Juice's worst efforts. Idk, man. I just don't like Cody Rhodes.

Cody just doesn't do much for me in the ring. He's had a few matches that stood out but overall I couldn't care less. He's maybe in my top 150, but not top 100.

Since comparing Cody to Roman is now the talking point of the day, i'd say Cody cannot hold a candle to Roman in the ring. The Okada match was easily my favorite Cody match ever and he's had good stuff in the early part of the year. On the downside, he was actively hated (and not in a heel way) by a BC loving crowd in NYC in May and had a pretty shitty match with Suzuki.
