WOL Saturday: Why Jim thinks Cody is the best wrestler in the world right now

I honestly can’t believe I am saying this. Cody is the best wrestler in the world right now.

Download this show. I make my case with examples point by point. In a wrestling world where the fans know it’s entertainment and the matches are more spectacular and athletic than ever, Cody has somehow found himself at the top of a card that includes the peak of Kenny Omega, The Young Bucks, Jon Moxley, and PAC.

I also tie in Friday’s SmackDown, how everything screamed “stupid wrestling skit,” and contrast the storytelling of WWE and AEW.  WWE tells us a story of what happened instead of showing us and allowing us to become emotionally invested as everything unfolds.

On the surface this take may seem like I’m only trying to get a reaction. I’m not. If you have thoughts on my Cody take, please tweet me @jimvalley.
