The promo @CodyRhodes just cut on @AEWrestling is the modern version of his Dad's "Hard Times" promo. To quote the Dream, "That's how you do it, kid".

Legit goosebumps from Cody during that promo. The crowd is SO behind him. This is the best work of his career. #AEWDynamite

So, people started bringing up the Hard Times promo & I was already shaking my head.
It couldn't have been that good. Fans need to pump the brakes. They'll ruin it.
Then I watched. It was arguably better. Benchmark moment for Cody Rhodes.

Holy fucking hell, Cody absolutely lit the mic on fire throughout that promo.
Now really curious how all this shit will play out with the match considering the stipulation.#AEWDynamite #AEW #AEWonTNT— AlphaOmegaSin of the Dead (@AlphaOmegaSin) November 7, 2019
