I do not like the Stardust character. It has done nothing for Cody and will never be anything more than a comedy/jobber act. Cody Rhodes deserves better. I don't care if he is a face or heel, I just want him to get rid of that terrible gimmick and become himself again |

I agree.
Dashing Cody, Mask Wearing Cody and Rhodes Scholars were all great gimmicks.
Something happened with him after the whole MitB thing when him and Sandow's feud ended and Rhodes got mixed up with all the Authority getting fired/rehired stupidity. After that he's been largely uninteresting to me.
But his performance during that MitB match where sandow "stole" the win - THAT was Cody at his best.
Though I do miss him handing out paper bags and cutting hilariously mean promos towards the audience.

Yeah, it's time to move on. I have no idea why they're still doing the Stardust character if the angle with Goldust is long done.

I just watched him during his Legacy days. I can't say I miss generic Cody Rhodes.

I love Stardust, he just hasn't been used, I was going to say "well" but really, he just hasn't been used.
He is going to be like Golddust at this point though, late in his career he will have a renaissance and be frikken incredible..

I agree. If he hadn't gone through that amazing face run in 2013 then I probably would have been cool with this Stardust transformation, but as it stands, we've now seen Cody pushed as a babyface against the Authority and he was over HUGE. I'll never understand why they de-pushed he and Goldust after that. Incredibly over, incredible matches.

It says something when nobody can agree on what Cody's best gimmick is.
I don't know what it says, but it says something...

Based on look, ring ability, promo skills, ad acting ability; he is easily one of the 5 most qualified guys to main event He's basically a jobber to the stars currently. That is horseshit.

He is going to be like Golddust at this point though, late in his career he will have a renaissance and be frikken incredible.. I think you hit the nail on the head. It's not that he's being used incorrectly, it's that he isn't being used. On paper, Stardust is the perfect vehicle for someone of Cody Rhodes caliber: a wannabe transhuman with otherworldy delusions, equal parts indigo child and LSD tripper. Instead, he's just a vaguely not-Goldust taking Ls from the most useless member of the WWE roster. They're not only squandering Cody Rhodes the wrestler, they're squandering Cody Rhodes the character actor. He's proven time and time again, given properly allotted time, he can make any character work. Stardust could be a best example of that, especially if they go down the "Cody Rhodes is dead" route. |

Stardust is the only time I cared about Cody at all.
LONG LIVE STARDUST!

I thought his tag team with Goldust was the best work of his career. Then they had to screw it all up with this Stardust gimmick.

I miss the Cody from the Orton mini-feud in the early Authority days.

One day the Cody Rhodes we all know he can be will be holding the WWE World Heavyweight Championship. It will be the greatest night in the history of our sport.
He's just too good.

Cody should ditch the paint and the goofy hissing, but keep this attire and the Stardust music. I'd say moreso he'd get the Stardust Piano Intro, followed by "WHOOOOOA-OOOOH" and Smoke and Mirrors V2. |
