Im glad to see someone else remembers Cody being the number two face in the company. He was getting amazing reactions (as was goldust) that were better then everyone else's with the exception of DB. He should have gotten the match with Orton that Big Show received, although I LOVED them beating The Shield and the title reign that followed but their reign got cut short IMO. Cody Rhodes in 2013 was fantastic. I mean, he always has been, but god he was on fire during that time. I haven't found Cody to be generic since his pre-Legacy days and he has always been wildly entertaining. Dashing Cody Rhodes? Killed it and made it work. Undashing Cody Rhodes? Some of his best work ever. Won a singles WrestleMania match and had main event poential Intercontinental Title run? One of the better reigns in recent memory Grow a mustache? Gets it over, selling merch and having the crowd chant for it. Be the second most over face in the company? Did so in 2013 and had the best matches on the card until he and Goldust lost the belts. Brotherhood dropping the titles to the Usos would have been one of the better matches at WrestleMania if it was done that way. Give him a weird painted up gimmick? He still makes it work. I agree. As i've said before Cody is great at turning chicken crap into chicken salad. He makes EVERYTHING he does work. He should have been elevated to the main event during the short program with Orton that led to his unmasking or in 2013 when he could have taken the title and people wouldn't have been bitching that it wasn't Bryan.

Cody Rhodes > Stardust. The Stardust gimmick is a career killer.

Goldust tweeted that he isn't retiring so I guess we can take that for what it's worth.

Why do people want generic Cody Rhodes back? LOL he will end up floating around on the roster before being put in YET another tag team. However as Stardust he has a chance of making it as a singles competitor without being misused like he's been since 2011.
The disfigured gimmick was the only time I ever found Cody interesting and he was super hot and massively over with it and it was truly the golden era of Cody's career.
Cody is a guy that needs a gimmick and they can't bring his disfigured one back so Stardust is his best chance. Because other people find him interesting and very talented. Cody can get over just fine as a heel, and he plays every gimmick they give him very very well. He won't get anywhere as Stardust, but as Cody Rhodes he has a ton of upside.

As long as I get a battlepack of them soon I'm good.
Goldust has been GREAT for WWE since he returned.Was fantastic to see him perform so well.

Hopefully its BS. But if it's true. I hope Cody stays on as StarDust, he's actually somewhat entertaining this way.
