He could always pull a Ryback and legally change his name.
It's partially his fault for letting WWE copyright it, the same thing happened with Colin Delaney when they somehow got ahold of the "Colin Olsen" name.

It's his fault
He signed the Rhodes name over to WWE, too bad for him. He should've been smart enough not to do that.
WWE is a business not a playground

I mean.. he is the one who allowed WWE to copyright the name so I'm not going to bust WWE's balls for wanting to uphold their copyright. It's their copyright.
Maybe next time a talent should work with WWE to get their copyrighted name BEFORE s***ing on them.

He should just change his name. Cody Rhodes sounds better than Cody Runnels anyway.

Just add a number to it like you do when a username you want is already taken.

Yeah I'd say he should just legally change his name. The funniest/craptiest part in the whole thing is that his wife can be in TNA as Brandi Rhodes because the WWE doesn't own the trademark to that name.

Maybe next time a talent should work with WWE to get their copyrighted name BEFORE s***ing on them. He didn't "allow" WWE to do anything. He was a homegrown WWE developmental kid in his early 20s when he started. What is WWE going to do with the name "Cody Rhodes" anyway? It's not like they would just pluck out a random wrestler and name them "Cody Rhodes". Yes it's their copyright and they're free to do what they want with it. And as holders of the copyright they SHOULD allow Cody to use the name Cody Rhodes as a show of good faith and out of respect for Dusty. because the company already screwed him over once, it's screwing him over double if he isn't allowed to use the brand that made him famous. It's harming his earning potential. If he and Brandi had kids, they'd basically be taking food out of their mouths doing that ish.

It's harming his earning potential. If he and Brandi had kids, they'd basically be taking food out of their mouths doing that ish. Cody had nine years to discuss obtaining the copyright / trademark for his name and more than likely could have worked something out with the company. Please spare the idea that WWE are taking food out of his hypothetical children's mouths and harming his earning potential when 99.9% of his indie bookings have been promoted using the "Cody Rhodes" name. Ring of Honor is promoting him as "Cody Rhodes" for Final Battle. Pro Wrestling Guerrilla advertised him as "Cody Rhodes" for BOLA. Northeast Wrestling advertised him as "Cody Rhodes" for his first appearances and also for his upcoming appearance. The fact that WWE has not sent letters telling these companies to f*** off advertising him as such is the only "good faith" that Cody Rhodes is getting. You are more than welcome to think WWE is in the wrong but I'm okay with them keeping the copyright / trademark until it's expiration. If Cody wants the name so bad.. sue 'em for it.

He should use a underscore... Cody_Rhodes. C0DY RH0DES With zeroes. It would make a good password, its a combination of letters, numbers, and capitalization.
