DiBiase is far superior to Rhodes in every way. People tend to forget that Ted had a personality before all this Legacy crap started.

Ted just has the look of a main-eventer, I'm getting the same vibe I had for 2004 Orton with him. Cody I think can be an upper midcarder at best.

I can't fathom what puts Ted ahead of all the other generic looking FCW guys (other than his surname of course), whereas Cody is pretty good.

While Ted's all fine and dandy, Cody (in my opinion) is much more talented in basically every aspect. He has more charisma than Ted and he can wrestle better than Ted. It's the little things that make Cody better than Ted also, like in backstage segments; Cody actually reacts to what is being said while Ted stands there and springs into life when his line comes up. I remember at a house show, probably over a year ago now, when Cody was teaming with Hardcore Holly to face whoever he gave that match everything he had, he was completely consumed in that match and that really impressed me (some guys I've seen, including main eventers, hardly bother at house shows). He was also, without a doubt, the best seller of the night. It was scary impressive.
Unfortunately I see Ted going further simply because he has "the look". Cody Rhodes is in phenomenal shape but I've seen people on here say they think they could knock him out. Could they? No. But if people on here, who are usually the ones to say they want the smaller guys pushed (except Rey for some reason), say that what are the kids and the casual fans gonna think?
Cody Rhodes should be the one to be pushed but it will more than likely be Ted.

For some reason neither is being pushed all that well. Hopefully when Orton wins the belt we'll see them both do something. It would be fun to see Ted get the pin that wins Randy the title.

People also keep crying out for him to bulk up i think Cody is fine looking that size since its NORMAL...a guy say Batista's size makes us think every wrestler needs that size to be a success.

I think Ted will be the bigger star in the long run. WWE already likes him enough to put him in a movie and is just as, if not better than, Cody in the ring despite having less time in WWE than Cody. After he is given the time to find his on camera stride he'll shine.

Well, if Ted wants to continue to be a guy who is a cure for insomnia while battle for world titles, he couldn't have a better mentor than Randy Orton.

People don't want to see normal looking guys fighting. WWE wrestlers NEED to be big.
Bulk draws.
The world boxing heavy weight champion will make more money than the world boxing featherweight champion. It's just a fact of life.
Cody being the size he is won't really make much money to justify his push.

It's not unfeasible that in 6 months time DiBiase could be challenging for the world title and main eventing PPVs as a singles wrestler. Yes it is.

Guys like Benoit/Rey and Eddie were the same size as Cody but they were WORLD CHAMPIONS...the whole "too skinny to make money" has been rendered moot because any size if pushed right can be a success. Just sayin'

Jeff Hardy's not the most muscular guy in the world but he is consistently one of the most over.

Just sayin' Just because you're a world champion doesn't mean you draw. Prime example of that is Shawn Michaels.

Cody did that awesome oversell where he was just spasming on the mat. Then again I liked Ted's Dad better than Cody's. I can't call it.

Cody... but I love Ted too. Cody is just the better wrestler, mic worker and any other worker you can fit in.

He is the one that WWE is protecting and made look great (or at least equal) in the match with Batista. I am not saying he will be but, WWE has done stranger things.

Legacy looks good on paper, but theres just something about the group that doesn't interest me. Maybe because their fueding with Triple H and Batista, but Orton always has been hit or miss with me. I don't understand Teddy love, he just bores me to tears. How the hell anyone expects him to mainevent is beyond me, lets just wait for the Marine 2. I do like Cody, but I think I would rather him in a wacky tagteam with Goldust.
