Cody Rhodes is one of the few wrestlers they're handling right. They're doing work with him and he looks to be well on his way to the top. |

Love his gimmick, love his promos. The creepy, guttural voice, the twitchy, lunatic facial expressions. He's one of the few around at present who when they speak, I sit up and really pay attention. He's starting to become really, really good in ring as well.
Only thing I dislike about him is his lack of kneepads, he looks like a schoolkid dressed for P.E. But nobody's perfect, eh?

If you told me even one year ago, much less two, three, or even four, that Cody Rhodes would rise through the ranks to become a solid worker in the ring and on the mic, I'd have laughed in your face. I couldn't possibly do that winve Wreatlemania-time this year.
All I can say is, "good job, Cody Rhodes. You've earned your spot and keep going."

The guy comes off like a legit lunatic, and I love that about him. Plus, it's nice to see a heel with a gimmick, and not just one who's "intense" or "kind of a douchebag" or "a really BIG douchebag".

I actually hope they give him a LOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOONG reign with the IC title. I hope they let him hang onto it for double digit months. In fact title reigns need to be longer in general. But Cody has made me care about who is IC champ for the first time in a long time. It would be good to see the IC title on Cody for close to or over a year and then have him drop it to someone that is really rising in the ranks.
I actually care more about Cody Rhodes classic IC reign then I do about any other title right now.

I like him, but my only problem is the gimmick is getting conveniently ignored. He blatantly uses the mask to win and then stands around holding the thing designed to hide his "deformed face" for all the world to see.

He's only really been doing that intentionally lately, though, and they have made it clear that he isn't having as many confidence issues since winning the title. |

I can't shake the thought that Cody Rhodes was once associated with Triple H as an ally.
I know he wasn't and that it was with Orton instead but it's such an odd concept.
Maybe they should have been associated....it's a little late now being that Trips isn't a full-timer in-ring.

They're doing everything write with him except his voice. I don't know why, but I hate that voice.

Cody is pretty good. I've always seen something in the guy ever since he first debuted against Randy Orton. He just seems to me like one of those guys who has the potential to eventually break through the glass ceiling with enough effort on his part.
But the paper bag gimmick has to go. There's just no purpose for it other than I guess to make him look slightly more demented. It'd be one thing if the crowd actually booed him for giving them the bags in the first place, but alot of them are more than happy to wear them. And the last thing you want for a heel is for them to be making the crowd happy like that.

This! He's a breath of fresh air after years of 'edgy, neo-realist' heels that try and blur the lines. I especially love his promo voice, it's similar in respects to heel Haitch an even the Rock in terms of being ridiculously drawn out, yet compelling. |

He'll struggle to look convincing against bigger guys but remembering what Triple H said about the IC title on his dvd makes me think he has earmarked that role for Cody. What did he say? Never saw the DVD... |
