   It's merely amusing hearing #CodyRhodes talk about "Gunther" without adding "McGillicutty" after his name. But when hearing him describe #TripleH as his mentor while suggesting regret for "causing trouble" (assuming he's referring to breaking thrones and such post-#WWE in #AEW), it's purely sickening. I examined this way of thinking from Cody here: https://leftfist.medium.com/cody-rhodes-revelation-not-revolution-44772b051b36

     @leftfist As much as I like Cody as a perdormer it's hard for me to separate that from his politics sometimes. He wants that belt so bad he sold his soul.

     Comprehend going from pro-union to this: "I’ll tell you two people that really kept me in check, Nick Khan and Bruce Prichard. I don’t know why they have reputations. They’ve been nothing but angels to me." https://www.bodyslam.net/2023/01/30/cody-rhodes-says-nick-khan-has-been-an-angel-to-him/

     @leftfist it's all politics. He's just as carny as Jeff Jarrett, he's just better at it.

     @gnu2 It's uncanny you should say that! You'll probably be interested in this - a piece that draws parallels between Cody and Jeff: https://leftfist.medium.com/cody-rhodes-revelation-not-revolution-44772b051b36

     @leftfist "“independent contractors” without healthcare, pension plans, or other benefits those generally contracted to a big company full-time might well expect." so you know if this is the case in Japan too, or only in USA?

     @gnu2 It seems to be similar all around the world, sadly, but you raise a good point. I'll endeavour to investigate the situation in Japan! Thank you!

     @leftfist I know Mexico has a union. If I recall correctly any promotion that is under the jurisdiction of Box y Lucha (such as CMLL & AAA) is required to only allow luchadors who are members of the union compete.

     @leftfist I highly recommend "The World of Lucha Libre" by Heather Levi. It is a great book and where I first learned of lucha unions. Though it's not the primary topic of the work, so there are probably better sources; it has a great bibliography as well to help you find them. :-) https://bit.ly/3YkO6Cl
