Cody’s assessment holds water, as Anthony has time to perfect his new craft. We’ve seen many professional athletes enter the world of wrestling and thrive. As for Ogogo, he has the look, the strength, and from what we saw at Double or Nothing, the talent.
Had Cody put Ogogo over, we’d be in a different situation right now. The Factory would have its crown jewel and the rivalry between the Nightmare Family and the Factory would be much more interesting.

After looking like an absolute beast, AEW managed to make Nick Comoroto look like an absolute chump within a week. At Double or Nothing, Comoroto entered the Casino Battle Royal and looked set to dominate the field. However, he met his swift end at the hands of Dustin Rhodes.
On Dynamite, Dustin faced the big hairy beast in a bunkhouse match, a stipulation made famous by his father, the later great Dusty Rhodes. Unfortunately, neither the match nor the stipulation suited the headline spot on the Dynamite following a blockbuster PPV like Double or Nothing.

Just like Cody vs Ogogo, Comoroto vs Dustin did not do what it was supposed to do; make Comoroto look like a beast. Instead, we got an interference from Fuego del Sol, a man who barely makes the card for AEW Dark. After ten minutes of boring brawling, Dustin low blowed Comoroto and hit him with a bulldog for the win.
