Anyone else think Cody Rhodes is a natural heel?

[Mickie Sixx]

Something about this kid just makes him unlikable to me, he has that "Randy Orton" thing about him were he seems like his shit doesn't stink. Anyone else get this? He's not a loveable up and coming pup...more like a preppy A&F frat boy you wanna see slapped down to size.

If I was to propose a way to turn him, I'd like to see WWE do a 180 on the whole "Third Generation" gimmick. Rather than have them come in as Rocky Maivia types that can't smile wide enough (which is also how Orton was first presented), why not have Rhodes actually bragging and posting about how he's in the big leagues because of his fathers name. You could even show him backstage mocking the likes of Kenny Dykstra or Stevie Richards at how much better his career is in such a short amount of time thanks to his name. Kinda taps in to the whole "boss's son" vibe that people hate - someone getting where they are based on who they know, not what they know.

Eventually Big Dust could try to teach his son some humility, be sneak attacked and destroyed by Cody - and bang, instant heel.

[Robbymac]

I still think this is the plan with him.

[Mr Captain Falcon]

Cody showed that he can be a great heel with his mic skills at the HOF last year. I thought from the beginning that he'd be an Orton Lackey.

[The Ichi]

Eh, I think he should become the anti-Orton. Meaning he's proud of being the son of a legendary Wrestler, and maybe a little cocky, but it's more a Bret Hart type of cockiness where he's just proud of who he is and is an all around good guy.

Of course, so far he hasn't prooved to have any sort of charisma whatsoever, so maybe not.

[Robbymac]

I still think a Horsemen stable of HHH, Cody, Cade, and Murdoch with Flair as manager could be gold. You could have Cody turn on Dusty, HHH turn on HBK and go with it. Flair drives it because he is mad at HBK for ending his career and always hated Dusty. Let HBK round up some baby faces to take them on and have it lead up to WWE FINALLY doing War Games.

[Rocky Van Heineken]

I still think they should team him with DH Smith.

[emoney3265]

I think he's naturally boring so far. He's just generic, another face in the crowd. Maybe if he got mic time and stuff, I may like him a little more than I do.

[Mac]

I think they should give Cody Rhodes a "Green" gimmick. He's very enviromentally sound, preaches before every match about how whatever town their in is contributing to pollution and has a Superkick finisher called "The Carbon Footprint"

[mrjl]

I don't think he's a natural heel.

[Zutroy]

He has X-Pac heat with me. Don't like that kid. Being Dusty's son doesn't get him over with me, give him something interesting to do because i'm sure he could be way better than being what he is now, which is bland.

[salTy]

He seems bland because they haven't given him much to do other than come out to the ring, get beat up, hot tag Holly, win the match, and leave. He gets zero backstage time and zero mic time. There's no way to get him over if he continues to play Robert Gibson. No way.

[Kevin Hamilton]

not yet anyway, but maybe in the future. I'd still like to see an eventual Cody/Holly feud for the IC belt.

[mysterydriver]

I think the Cody/Holly tag team would be better received...if they were better booked. However it's WM time. Main eventers EVERYWHERE! No time for midcard except for a throw-away MITB match (speaking of which, I enjoyed Cody/Carlito).

I think that resembles Evolution too much.

However, I am never against stables. If anything..WWE needs more stables.

I am with you on the War Games idea, I think WWE is long overdue on having that match. Although, WWE has succeeded in creating a new style of grudge match with the Elimination Chamber..it still wouldn't be as cool as a team-based, elimination-style cage match.

[heyguesswhatidid]

I just think he sucks.

Bland, has weird sunken in eyes and he's no Dustin, let alone Dusty.

[bubbles]

He should become a silver Goldust

[Mickie Sixx]

Good suggestions. I just think he's unlikable, arrogant preppy looking twat (is that hair color real??) and would have a much better time booing his heel ass, rather than being expected to cheer this ''lovable'' rookie.

[Bobby Womack]

i just think he naturally sucks

[Mister Yummy]

He's not third generation, unless his mother had a wrestling parent. His grandpa was a plumber!

Cody should feud with Trevor Murdoch over who's the better Rhodes. Trevor should change his name back, at least temporarily, and go face against Cody's heel for this one.

[Timmy8271]

No I want a heel Rhodes and Murdoch teaming. TEXAS OUTLAWS 2K8.

First time I saw him at the Hall of Fame, I thought he would be a perfect Heel.
