i think polkadot spandex just may help. I've seen him wear that. It actually looked pretty good on him.

No one named 'Cody' will ever, EVER mainevent anything besides the next Abercrombie&Fitch Fall Sale. But by all means let him make his way to the pay windah now and then. Just not on my TV. Like Bobby was intimidating. You wouldn't think so, would you?

Her's an actual You Tube comment by Philip E. Banks, one which I agree with 100%:
Quote: "This kid is awesome. His moves are fluid and precise and his Rhodes family pedigree only makes him an even hotter rookie commodity. He knows how to fly high and he pulls off that snap scoop powerslam as good as his half bro, Dustin. I hope Cody gets a shot at some championship gold soon, preferably the WWE Intercontinental Championship to start off and then make his way to the WWE Championship. "

to be honest, freakin Cody is too tence and too freakin serious in the ring. He should wear some Pokadots to the ring or something.

He's still very Green, Give him a year on TV and we will see. He would be lost in ROH.

too small + average look and almost no charisma right now. that may change a little but probably not to the main event level.
a bulldog and a ddt? are you f***ing kidding me? that alone makes me think this whole post is a joke or that you are 9.
plus his family was never that big in wwe. he may get to the midcard and do ok, but i dont see him being the next hbk, orton, or even the master of macho.

I think the best word to sum up Cody at the moment is potential. His movements are clean and he does a lot right; he just needs more experience and more comfort with being in front of a large crowd. He's a good rookie, basically.

a bulldog and a ddt? are you smurfing kidding me? that alone makes me think this whole post is a joke or that you are 9. I am a knowledgeable fan. Read my (serious) commentaries. I like to think I can predict the currents. Also read the title of this thread. Not that I know it all, but I know what I look for in a new star. Cody Rhodes has it and don't forget he'll only improve.

wwe needs to look beyond OVW and FCW to find fresh new talent. They need talent that has experience from the indies. Colt Cabana was a start and if the rumours are true bout Matt Sydal, they are going for the future.

He's garbage. He's pure 6 month IC title reign, one where we forget who the champion is. Then he'll lose it and go to Smackdown and be sent to OVW, only to be called back 3 more times with a new gimmick and win the IC title 1 or maybe 2 more times.
If you think he's good, go watch some old WCW from say 91-94 and see how much Dustin Rhodes was pushed and see how his career turned out. It's just a matter of time before Cody Rhodes turns into Black Reign.

Try to think before you type.

Try to think before you type. You can think whatever you want. This... ...just isn't successful to me. The IC title hasn't been worth a damn since 94. Unless you are a World Champion belts don't mean a thing. Just because you disagree with someone else's opinion doesn't mean they aren't thinking or they're wrong. All it means is that they disagree with you. So try to think before you tell someone else to try thinking before they post.

But in terms of how much hype he got while he was in WCW, and how his career turned out was far from successful. It was all because they pushed him as the son of Dusty. Which is why I got dejavu on Cody when he debuted right next to Dusty because I realized that with all the hype he's getting for his genes and his bloodline and shit, that he's not gonna live up to it. There is no way he can succeed with the ''he's Dusty Rhodes' son'' gimmick. Don't set the bar too high on a kid that's still green.

You make a valid point, but to WWE fans nowadays, Dusty is not nearly as fresh a name, so there's less expectation.
