Fair enough, but there were so few Cody backers that it's easy to make the mistake. I stand corrected. I was one of the few. I use to think that after Legacy ended they both would enjoy some mid card success for a few years, but that would be it.

I was one of those people who assumed Ted would turn out more of a star then cody. Boy was I ever wrong. Then again I called Morrison over Miz. lol that didnt go over well either.

I laughed my ass off when he came out on RAW...it's weird how sometimes the WWE actually references their problems (Ted saying he was going to be the next big star)...then squashes it quick. I enjoyed seeing him get that beatdown from HHH.
He's done nothing since the Legacy split. Having him be "Million Dollar Man Jr." was only fun for a couple of weeks...then it just became nothing. His theme is terrible too which definitley affects his overall perception from the audience.
I think the best thing for Ted to do right now is get drafted to Smackdown and re-start as a face over there. He has some good in ring ability but he is still pretty "green" and is not as polished as Cody....remember, Cody has a year of WWE experience over Ted and was able to go through "growing pains" unlike Ted who was thrust into a big storyline & feud right away (Legacy)
I like Ted and I hope he can break out of this funk. Getting a little ass kicking by HHH is NOT the end of Ted's career.

He's having rough time right now, but I still think if he can get through this he will become a mainstay, and possibly a big (ish) star in the future. He really isn't a great talker though.

I was a big Million Dollar Man fan so I naturally wanted Ted Jr to do well. Its sad to see that they (WWE) just seem to keep redoing his daddys gimmick to try and get him over. His original "Priceless" son of money so to speak deal was pretty decent. Hopefully he'll turn things around

Once Ted's brother gets on the Main Roster they can have him form a team with him or yet maybe a possible feud? IDK what they're going to do with him, but he still has potential to be a possibly big star if they just use him right. Turning him face last year would have been a good move on WWE's part, but instead, due to the crowd's reactions to Orton, that obviously changed. Now we'll just have to sit back, relax, and wait for Ted's "Shining Moment".

I used to prefer Ted over Cody while they were in Legacy, like, I thought Ted was miles better than Cody. I liked Ted so much that I gave him the WWE title in Smackdown vs Raw 2010, and I never had him lose it, and I never used Cody.
Sometime later, Cody has one of the best gimmicks currently in the WWE, and Ted bores the hell out of me, and I have no interest in watching him on the very seldom time he is on TV.
Plus I hate his music.

I liked DiBiase most when he grew some facial hair and would get yelled at by Maryse while staring off in the distance.

I agree with everyone that said he needs to go to Smackdown. He needs to go there, lose Maryse, become a face, and have no one ever mention his time on Raw ever.
Things would've worked out much better (IMO) if Dibiase had turned face on Orton instead of vice versa. Orton sucks as a face (once again IMO).

But clearly from a money standpoint, WWE made the right decision in moving Orton face. As far as Ted, they could have left Cody on Raw with Orton and turned Ted babyface on Smackdown. Of course, we would be talking about how Cody is being buried right now instead of Ted. Its Raw. Its VERY hard to move up the ladder on Raw. Smackdown is where the new stars are developed and then they get moved to Raw.

Best thing they could do for him now is have him go to SD! and save Rey Rey in a beat down at WM27 from Rhodes and work a feud between the two of them. I think it would give Rhodes a good feud to carry over into after he demos Rey Rey but also allow Ted the chance to rebound and build steam towards a Main Eventer on SD! over the next year or two. He could then move on to feuds with The Core and those guys to help elevate himself.

I was hoping this would eventually lead to him totally snapping, getting rid of Maryse and becoming a more aggressive, violent kind of character in the ring... and therefore he'd start racking up a few wins. But no, he's back to being boring and losing every week.

I just find Ted boring these days, a move to Smackdown could be great for him
