Just finished watching Smackdown and this whole failed Stardust thing just needs to end. The dead reactions he gets is one thing, but his promo's are just embarrassing to watch.
Cody deserves so much better than some low-grade Goldust gimmick that doesn't even make sense now that the entire angle with his brother was nixed.
End it. End it now.

It's a good gimmick and he plays it well, but the writers don't know what to do with him
Changing him back to Cody won't accomplish anything. What's his gimmick going to be? Another moustache?

I just cant knock Cody when he just rips every gimmick he gets to shreds. His "Get the Attitude Out" promo is one of the best promos Ive seen in the last 10 years of wrestling.

Cody Von Doom is still his best iteration.

They need to make it a Mick Foley thing of different personalities, only he is totally not self-aware of when he becomes Stardust. He'll deny that it's him or something wacky like that.

Nope, can't agree with this.
Stardust is awesome.

If he goes back to being Cody he should wear assless chaps.

They need to do an angle where we find out the shaved mustache survived being separated from Cody and grew into Stardust. Cody's been locked in the Mustache's (Stardust's) basement this whole time.

It's awful, and it's not working.
Why the hell am I supposed to care about a Goldust-lite character anyway? The non-reaction he got coming out at the last PPV would've made Rob Conway blush.
IMO Cody Rhodes is the most overrated wrestler by the general online fans.

It hurt me how hard he's trying to make it work. But it just isn't clicking and it should've been killed months ago.
But they've endured and now a guy who was beginning to ride a wave of popularity has been stymied by a midcard gimmick that he'd outgrown before it even began.

Next year's Royal Rumble though, they definitely need to make a thing where Cody enters the match as each of his characters.

I just can't stand to watch any of his segments, the second hand embarrassment I get from him is too strong.

I can't stand Stardust.
But I'm a rare breed around this place that can't wrap my head around why everyone seems to think Cody Rhodes deserves to be a main eventer. He's exactly where he needs to be, no matter who he's performing as.

Not only do I not share the reaction, I can't even comprehend it. I can see not caring about Stardust , but it would never occur to me that people would have these kinds of negative reactions to him. It's like when people eat cilantro.

After that, team him up with Goldust again, except that Goldust is stuttering like his failed (and ridiculous) tourettes gimmick from a few years ago. License to print money. |

He's exactly where he needs to be, no matter who he's performing as. I couldn't agree harder. There are quite a few midcarders on the roster that I could definitely see getting bumped up to the main event and fighting for the Heavyweight Title. But Cody... I just don't see it. To me, Cody is a solid hand at best, but nothing about him in all his years in the WWE has ever amazed me and made me think "This guy deserves a World Title run". And honestly, if he's doing anything in the main event, then it's most likely being a JttS. Otherwise, he's just a guy who screams Lifelong Midcarder, just like his brother. And there's nothing wrong with that. |
