Big E seems like an obvious choice, he and Cody are practically identical.

Oh God no.
Regular Cody Rhodes is beyond boring. At least Stardust is somewhat entertaining in a loveable loser kind of way. |

Okay, but where's the money in that? Where's the thing that will draw viewers in? Why not just have Cody walk out as Cody to begin with? Same result. And why would Cody have to come through the crowd? He's on the roster and isn't named Roman. And why would he drop being Stardust just because someone dressed up like him? If anything, that would lead to Stardust being enraged at a pretender, not walking around the arena hallways in his street clothes and realizing someone is out in the ring dressed as him and just suddenly ready to be Cody again. If you're looking to have Cody shed the Stardust gimmick and return to being him, from a business/money standpoint and from a story/creative standpoint, there needs to be something more tangible than that. Have an angle where he's forced to "lose the mask" if he loses. Or something where he goes off the rails and has to abandon the gimmick for his own good. Or have a feud with his brother (or somebody) that ends with them finally talking some sense into him. I'm not trying to dog on you, I promise. I'm trying to show that something like that just doesn't work from an angle/money/audience standpoint. I'm really not thinking that deeply about it...I had a visual of Cody Rhodes beating the crap out of Stardust, and I wondered if anyone could impersonate Stardust well enough to let that be a surprise. I'm not thinking moneyratings/future repercussions, I'm thinking that's something I'd like to see as a fan in terms of and a definitive end to Starudst and a new beginning for Cody Rhodes, in a WTF way suits Stardust's whole deal. Building to that would be great, though I'm not sure how you could. I think you're taking it more literally than I am, there's not actually a dude impersonating Stardust that Cody goes after. It's sort of a Supernatural Wyattish/Undertakerish thing, where it's him destroying that side him. Or something. Yeah I don't get why anyone is taking this so literally, and asking "why?" "why?" "why?" It's pro-wrestling. I've seen a person "buried alive" more than once. The initial return would be cool, and generate immediate interest in Cody. Even if it's far-fethched. That's the point. The Stardust character is far-fetched, it'd fit in the lore of things to have something that weird happen. Or to spin it as a fight club thing. That could play back into his previous characters. How the split personality happened, etc. It's just fiction writing. Anything is possible. I for one like the idea. |

They could bring back Ted DiBiase Jr as fake Stardust, leading to him eventually becoming Dollardust.
