The Rhodes family's promo skills appreciation thread

["American Cream" Dusty Loads]

Can't find Goldust and Dusty's promos but those were awesome too. I always heard Dusty was killer on the mic, but he was before my time so I'm more used to "funky like a monkey" Dusty we see now, glad to see he's apparently still got it (outside of a few fumbles). I'm used to Goldust cutting weird and creepy promos, the promo he cut before his match with Orton was awesome and showed a lot of emotion without being over the top and the mic work from Cody in the video I posted shows that the good mic skills run in the family. I hope whatever they have planned skyrockets Cody up the card cuz he's clearly got all the tools.

I've thought Cody had a good future on the mic ever since he turned heel on Hardcore Holly. It's a legitimate wrestling dynasty and you don't get many of those.

What I like about Cody is that he took steps to improve and went to acting classes to get better on the mic. You could see the gradual improvement from his days as CAWdy Rhodes to now.

Wish more wrestlers put as much effort into improving as Cody did. It's obvious to succeed in the WWE you need good mic skills (with a few exceptions) so it's frustrating to see a guy who is talented but makes no effort to improve his ability on the mic.

I didn't know he went to acting classes at all. That explains the dramatic increase in quality from him. I think he's one of the best promo guys the WWE has right now.

And I'm all for appreciating the Rhodes family in any capacity, really.

Yup, least I read somewhere that he did. Miz too has used acting classes to improve his promo skills.

And I agree, he's definitely in the top 5.

They are a talented family for sure.
