Find a way to make give Cody Rhodes the "Grotesque" character again, he was at his best then and he had an actual gimmick now he is just generic heel no.1000.

Eh, it ran its course. Going back to it would be sort of unnecessary to me. You're spot on, though, when you say that nobody has gimmicks anymore to separate one guy from another. There's nothing unique about anybody's character anymore. Trying to build a character around his mustache, though, is just mind-numbingly stupid.

No, there is no need to backtrack

Cody is a solid hand in the ring, but there's nothing about his in-ring work that's all that exciting. His current incarnation doesn't really cut good promos. His biggest strength is his ability to play a character, and when he sinks his teeth into a good gimmick, his promos improve.
I think he should go back to that point. Cody doesn't need the mask (although it would help him stand out) or the paper bags, but he DOES need the personality, and the theme song.

I thought 'Grotesque' Cody was awesome, but there's really no going back now. They just need to find something else genuinely interesting to give him.

I say lose the "lovestauche" and have a gimmick where he wants to surpass Dusty and Dustin, make people remember him for not just being a Rhodes family member.

I tend to agree. It gave him personality and direction. And the outlet to be given solid mic time. Three things he's sorely lacking at the moment.

Agreed with most of the posts - can't really go back to it,but he's much better playing a character than he is just being a generic wrestler guy. I hope he gets a new gimmick soon, I can't stand him at the moment. His dullness ruins Sandow's entertainment value a little for me too. I think some skits where Cody's a bit of a bimbo/idiot and trying to fit into Sandow's intellectual world would be fun I guess.

If he gets serious and has an old fashioned brutal feud w goldust it would make him. It can be done hey just gotta pull the trigger on his one. The crowd popped massive during their interaction at he rumble.

They had something going with his storyline with Kaitlyn, but it ended before it could even get started. Who knows? Maybe Cody will end up being Kaitlyn's secret admirer.
