I don't understand Cody hate. The guy actually throws left handed jabs before his right, something lost on 90% of workers with his experience. Boxers don't sit their and exchange right handed swings for 12 rounds.
And he bumps with sympathy, you know, where it really looks like what the other guy just did to him actually hurt. A really novel concept, I know, but lost to so many. His facial expressions are good, too. People talk about the "little things" that Orton does, but Cody does "little things" in the ring that Orton seemingly doesn't have a freaking clue about.
The biggest thing holding him back is his size, as it seems like Tully Blanchard must have had an affair with Dusty's wife. And I still think it's funny that he's Dusty's kid, but he wears ring gear exactly like Flair's.

I think Cody is already better than some guys we have main eventing. His ring presence is only unfluid because he's still a little green. Once a worker with great moves (And he's a better worker than alot of guys there) gets into the flow, he'll be alright. He's a Rhodes, and by nature he's got great potential on the stick. Once he gets a good character and some mic time, and he's relaxed and more expirienced, I predict he will be one of the more memorable stars for years to come.
To me, he looks that good, and I think he has better upside than their current mancrush, Bobby Lashley.

Kid's got some skill, he'll improve with time.

Hes young and probably has had less than 50 matches in his professional career. Give him time.

First time in the bigs. He's nervous as a hooker in church. Young Master Randall Orton was the same way in the beginning. He'll loosen in time. Oh, dude. Wow. There goes lunch. Beat poetry... I love it. All you need Is some bongos and a man in a black beret and you will b e Alan Gins berg

All the Rhodeses move like that.
That's why his daddy's move was the "bionic elbow" and his brother had the sex-android gimmick.

He needs a unibrow. If it wasnt for Dusty, this kid would not be in the WWE, he doesnt have the look. You, uh, ever seen Cody? He has more of the look than his dad or brother ever really did.
