8 Weirdest Horrible Bosses In WWE

6. Where We're Going We Don't Need Rhodes

On Monday Night RAW on 2nd September 2013, Cody Rhodes lost a match against his former mentor Randy Orton, and as per The Authority€™s stipulation, was fired with immediate effect. Why would such a stipulation be placed on the match? Because Rhodes had dared to question the decisions of the almighty Authority: it was punishment for insubordination. Now, it€™s a kayfabed firing: in real life, Cody needed time off to get married. In the storyline, however, Dustin €˜Goldust€™ Runnels came to the following week€™s RAW to ask for his brother€™s job back, and went through the same grinder: he lost a non-title match with Orton and as a consequence failed to get Cody€™s job back. The following week, it was Dustin and Cody€™s father, €˜The American Dream€™ Dusty Rhodes who came, cap in hand, to ask for Cody€™s job back €“ he was suckerpunched and knocked out, leading to Cody and Goldy gatecrashing RAW and jumping the Shield. In revenge for all this, The Authority don€™t have the two Rhodes boys arrested for trespassing or assault€ no, they make a non-title match between two free agents that they don€™t want on the roster and the Shield, at the next pay-per-view, with the stipulation that, should they lose, they will be banned from WWE forever, and their father fired as NXT trainer. Let€™s get this straight: this angle essentially states that the brothers Rhodes are good enough to wrestle the tag team champions at a pay-per-view, but not good enough to employ on the roster. Added to that, despite the fact that Cody Rhodes remaining unemployed is what The Authority actually want, they€™ve allowed him a third chance in less than a month to get his job back, and ensured that both he and his Hall-Of-Fame-worthy older brother will be sufficiently motivated to win this time, by threatening their father. Does this actually make sense to anyone?
