Please tell me the winking face next to the title of this thread means this is pure, grade-A sarcasm? Seriously, the kid is lanky as all hell. Put some meat on his bones, then we'll talk turkey. But could he be great? Yeah. That match against Daivari was good. But he needs some serious charisma classes. After the little condom joke, I think he's got more charisma than we've ever seen from a so-called blue chipper.

I think he has potential to be something big if he's brought along the right way. The charisma thing is something he can work on (Randy Orton when he first came in had the same issue) Wrong Randy Orton came into WWE with great charisma. That was all squandered by WWE giving him a lame legend killer gimmick. We were all hyped for Orton just via a few vignettes of him spouting I'm 99% full power before he debutted. Your thinking is a little flawed here. I take it you're thinking of the awesome "Don't worry, I'll keep you updated on my injury" promos. That wasn't his debut. He debuted as a personality-less moron on Smackdown who would get put into matches for making Vince mad by getting seduced by Sable. It SUCKED. It was way worse than Cody ever had been. Orton is just not face material.

Yeah, Orton's just a natural heel. I don't know if he could ever be a good face.
Back on topic, remember when a young third-generation superstar made his debut in 1997? And he was hated so much that people chanted at him to die? And then what happened? He became one of the biggest names in wrestling since Hulk Hogan.
Sure, Cody's green, but so was The Rock when he was first young Rocky Maivia. Give him time, and he'll find his place. He definitely has the potential to go far.

Very good point. I'd even say Cody is more adjusted than Rocky was. Especially with his look. I hate the old school tights, but it's still better than *snicker* Rocky's hair.

I for one enjoyed his matches with both Daivari and Haas. Its asking a lot to expect him to be awesome straight off the bat. He's only been on the main roster for a month or so, I implore you people to give Rhodes a bit more time to really prove himself.

I'm firmly behind him and believe he can be great. Whether he will or not remains to be seen.

I love his entrance music it's so addictive and i love his attitude towards the sport he is actually getting in their and having a go unlike Batista or Cena who just do 5 / 6 moves and walk out i love rhodes atittude as well he is hanging with Randy orton and i think they one day might create a faction they both have the EYE for wrestling very cunning like and i like it. I love his entrance music, that guitar part at 0:30 is fantastic. www.youtube.com/watch?v=WZEOV3nGWSIAlso the guy is packing, if you know what I mean.
