This thought occurred to my weary mind. When Cody had his lovely mustache he was basically doing nothing except getting stuck as Sandow's lackey but now he shaved it and look at where he is. Was the mustache the thing holding him back

This was my first thought reading this thread: I'm lost, did I miss something. Can you explain. Dragon Ball Z. Piccolo would wear weighted armour so he would eventually get stronger by doing everyday things (for him) whilst wearing it. It meant when he took it off he would move faster and hit harder, kinda like exercising in water but more convenient. I was implying that Cody's moustache is the same as Piccolo's armour.

The mustache in itself wasn't holding him back. It's just that WWE made the mustache a part of his gimmick (actually his entire gimmick). The mustache was such a easy target for top faces to do amateur comedy hour at Cody's expense and it made him look like a joke. At least Daniel Bryan with his beard (as much as I hate it and think he's better looking without it) is such an anomaly that he can compensate for being the butt of the joke. Cody probably doesn't have those intangibles and thus ditching the mustache allowed him to look like less of a joke.

The mustache decided to go into business for himself.

The WWE made such a big deal about the mustache that it ended up being less of "Cody Rhodes changed his look a little bit, still Cody" to more of "Wow Cody has a mustache let's make fun of him! Mustache and Cody wow!!" and it looked silly. It's like Rick Rude being picked on for his mustache or even Triple H being picked on for regrowing his facial hair in the Evolution days. It was less about him and more about how he looked. Once he got rid of it he could only move on. We also have to factor in that he's more of a babyface with the mustache off rather than on. More of pure babyface. He can only move on from here.

Basically yes, because any time WWE bases a wrestler's character around something stupid like a moustache, or a stutter etc....it cannot possibly succeed.

It did in the way that it became his gimmick, and having facial hair is a crappy gimmick. Hearing announcers chuckle about his mustache was the low-light of many a Raw.

I wish that Cody had teamed with Zack Ryder and formed a team called the Mustache Ryders.

I don't think so. I thought it was vintage heeldom. It got chants. Perfect mid-card heel thing to have.
