Look at it from a logical stand point for a "fan". Cody powerbombing his mother means nothing to me - i dont care about this bitch, i've never seen her before, i'll likely never see her again. Cody bringing in two randoms means nothing to me - I don't know who they are. Neither of these actions do anything as far as selling Cody vs Tobin for the World Title goes.
The storyline should, without compromise, sell the match to me. The kidnap helps enhance Tobin as a man on a mission and Cody as a calculating man (albeit not to my tastes). Cody powerbombing some woman doesn't enhance him as a heel - she's just some woman. It doesn't enhance Tobin as a face in this instance.
I think you're tacking things onto your character way too fast, and its hurting the actual build of the actual match. Character development should happen over time (The criticism of you originally was you'd been here years and not developed at all) and I feel like you're trying to make up for lost time. When people become World Champion, they've usually had a year or two of constant feuding, constantly developing, constantly improving, and you just haven't had that, so it feels like you're trying to over compensate.
I fully stand by my original point that there are too many bodies in this feud. This is Tobin Frost, a man who has told us for a full year that he will be World Champion getting a shot against a man who is desperate to hold onto it. Its that simple. It doesn't need 8-10 random new NPCs/characters involved.
Its one on one for the biggest prize imaginable on the biggest stage. As simple as that. Doesn't need to be this complicated.
