My favorite "era" of Cody Rhodes hands down. He made that gimmick work.

I just thought they did a lot of things right with this angle, such as bringing back the Classic Intercontinental Championship, Masked/Undashing Cody did not bring back the classic IC belt. Unmasked supervillain Cody Rhodes as I've heard him called did.

I love how comic book villain-esqe it got near the end. Cody standing over a fallen Orton while holding the IC title was something out of a Marvel Bullpin. He was poised to become the WWE's Doctor Doom.
I get why they changed it, as the WWE toyed with entering the "Reality era" for a few months following Punk's pipebomb and the rebirth of Mark Henry cutting non-mic promos after beatdowns. Would have loved it to stay a bit longer, but I'm still happy with Rhode Scholors as there really wouldn't be room for Cody at the main event and his work would have been seen as downgraded, as opposed to entering new entertaining areas.

Instead of Doctor Doom just imagine if he became Bullseye, that would have been more interesting at least in my opinion

This was my favorite version of Cody. I miss the awesome hoodie thing. I wish they would have stuck with it longer but like everything great.....they kill it.
Legacy never caught on with me, strangely the best thing from it was Cody's chest hair. I didn't get to see much of Dashing but I enjoyed what little I did see. He became super bland pre mustache and his thing with Sandow hasn't grown on me yet.
I did like when he teamed with Bob Holly.
I like Bob Holly.

I coulda sworn that came after he took the mask off... maybe its because the only feud I can remember him having over the IC title was Big Show where he was unmasked

I enjoyed it. Was disappointed when he lost most of the edge that gimmick gave him when he lost the mask.

I thought it would get Cody Rhodes a title shot. Once the gimmick was dropped, Cody Rhodes was stuck in midcard hell forever.

It's weird, I swore for ages that Cody did amazing things for that belt when he got it, and really raised the value of it.
Then I ran a search and realize he defended it maybe three times the entire time he had it; right when he got it, his feud with Big Show, and when he finally lost it (I can't even remember who he lost it too).
Makes me sad, but I loved IC Champ Cody Rhodes.

I love watching him during Survivor Series 2011 (yes, I know the mask was gone by that point). He was just so damn over in that match.

The theme song,the character,the mic work,the matches,the new IC belt...all of those were awesome and Cody was on top of his form. I don't get why they had to give up on it,considering he's been a random heel for some time now. I hope it eventually comes back,because it was the best gimmick that Cody had and one of my favorite gimmicks in WWE history.

I'm a huge fan of Cody Rhodes. If he's not main eventing some day, I will never understand just what the hell they're looking for. Very versatile in the ring. Underrated brawler, can go to the mat, catch as catch can, fly around. He can definitely kill it on the mic when he's got something to sink his teeth into. He's had these great characters he's shown the ability to enhance through his acting and attention small details. He's a good looking, ripped dude. And he's second generation! He hits every WWE checkpoint other than being 6'4+.

I thought Dashing Cody Rhodes was awesome and felt sad when it ended. But considering it ended because he had to start his chapter as Doctor Doom, it was all the more rewarding.
Then Orton takes his mask off and he becomes generic. WHY?

Makes me sad, but I loved IC Champ Cody Rhodes. The Big Show... his really long IC reign was ended by the Big Show at Wrestlemania... then he got it back like a month later and dropped it to ... I want to say Kofi pretty shortly after. Edit: Christian, it was Christian not even a month later...
