"Cody's WrestleMania Homecoming, and Sports Entertainment vs Pro Wrestling"
Episode 4
Saturday, 9 April, 2022

On this week's The Wrestling Fanboy, host Mario-Francisco Robles shares his thoughts on Cody Rhodes' return to WWE at WrestleMania 38 and explains how that show highlighted the differences between Sports Entertainment and Professional Wrestling. He breaks down Tony Khan's approach with AEW, and how his presentation may have hit its ceiling- which could be one of the reasons Cody left. MFR singles out a one month period where Tony Khan had the entire wrestling world's attention and what the ratings from that period say about which genre has the bigger audience: Pro Wrestling or Sports Entertainment.
