10 Amazing Wrestling Feuds Overshadowed By ONE Moment
7. Cody's Neck Tattoo Pulls Attention Away From His MJF Showdown
While on the subject of neck stuff overshadowing riveting programs, that divisive nightmare Cody Rhodes stamped on his before the star's Revolution 2020 grudge bout with Maxwell Jacob Friedman swiftly became a rather patriotic distraction.
The pair had just put together one of the most intense, personal, and entertaining blood feuds of recent times.
Cody had been forced to jump through 'The Salt of the Earth's many different hoops in order to get his revenge on the bloke who'd cost him the chance to ever challenge for the AEW World Championship again. Lashes had been dished out. Wardlows had been conquered inside of steel cages.
It all led to the moment when MJF would finally come face-to-face with his former mentor inside of the squared-circle in Chicago.
And then the AEW EVP debuted a red, white, and blue Nightmare Family neck tattoo... live on PPV!
Just like that, much of the attention was pulled away from the bitter enemies' captivating feud heading into the evening as many were too busy posting their outrage on Twitter to give a damn about what should have been the must-see blow-off to an otherwise near-perfect All Elite feud.
