Anyone else think the gimmick is partially inspired by yuppie serial killer Patrick Bateman from the novel/movie American Psycho? True there's a lack of misogyny, racism, and general evil from the character, but the overly detailed grooming seems very similar to Bateman.

If he went more the Bateman route in the ring and such, that'd be awesome.

Nope, too generic of a trait.

I can see it too.
Cody: Dustin, don't just stare at it, eat it.
Goldust: *eats Million Dollar Championship Belt*
Cody: ..not exactly what I had in mind..

Nope, too generic of a trait. Not so. He even seems to be doing Bale's voice, and we've never seen a character who goes into to so much detail explaining how he grooms himself. It's much different than other arrogant, pretty boy heels.

Do you think he likes Huey Lewis and the News?

He needs to come out to some Huey Lewis & The News. Preferably something off the "Sports" album. Because their earlier stuff was a little too new wave. Everything off that record has a clean, crisp sound and a new sheen of consummate professionalism that really gives the songs a big boost.

It's much different than other arrogant, pretty boy heels. He still needs to do quite a bit more to have a yuppie serial killer gimmick. He could go down that route (obviously without the killing) but it's embyronic at best at this point.

Bateman doesn't kill or show his darkside until later.

I remember a few months ago, someone floated the idea of someone doing an American Psycho gimmick. If they did it with Cody, and made him generally start getting darker and darker, more violent...that would be amazing. Especially when you consider the dark side his brother's had from time to time doing Goldust, it'd be a phenomenal gimmick to pull off.

Cody Rhodes should flip out that somebody has a Titantron with a better font.

If this was a few years ago, maybe.
As it isn't and it's now, that isn't PG enough of a gimmick and as such, it's just generic arrogance, although he plays it perfectly
