Cody Rhodes
 
Does anyone else think he's on borrowed time? He hasn't distinguished himself as a member of Legacy and it's obvious WWE has more faith in Ted. If Legacy ends up disbanding for good I think Cody is going to be a staple on WWE Superstars at best. ANy thoughts?

They can't just keep kicking young guys to the curb. The main eventers are getting old.

James Steele 02-22-2010 01:56 PM

Cody should get rid of that gay fucking nosestud.

Krimzon7 02-22-2010 02:03 PM

Cody needs to be on his own any way. He would make a great addition to Smackdown. He can be well served in the Intercontential title picture, as either a face or a heel. He'd have a better shot to shine.

I think he's peacocking.

Jordan 02-22-2010 03:00 PM

I think he is just fine. Probably going to have a huge triple threat at Wrestlemania. He has had a great run in Legacy, and somewhat dominate in his matches (sometimes). I think Cody will be around for a long time.

Nicky Fives 02-22-2010 05:02 PM

I think he should adopt a Shawn Michaels-esque Sexy Boy gimmick..... pair him up with a useless diva and it would be perfect

Outsider 02-22-2010 05:05 PM

Meh, roster starting to get a big more crowded with the ECW guys being on RAW and Smackdown. Someone has to go, can't see any reason to keep him.

This.

A tag division would help with the alleged crowding problem.

That might help too.

But fire Cody to be on the safeside.

Afterlife 02-22-2010 05:17 PM

I see no reason to fire him.

Innovator 02-22-2010 05:35 PM

He isn't going anywhere

Favre4Ever 02-22-2010 05:43 PM

Cody looks so fucking stupid without knee pads on. Whenever he is in a match that's the only thing I can ever think about.

The Franchise 02-22-2010 05:50 PM

Cody is the Marty Jannetty of Legacy. He should become a comedy character, maybe have an ice cream man gimmick. his finish can be called "rocky rhodes"

This. Guy needs to bulk up to pull off the no knee pads look. Reminds me of a white Norman Smiley at the moment.

Heros Welcome 02-22-2010 06:13 PM

Cody has improved greatly I think both in the ring and on the mic while hes been in Legacy. I think he has a bright future in front of him, hes not going anywhere nor should he.

Droford 02-22-2010 06:13 PM

He should ripoff Cody Lambert from Step By Step and live in a van outside the arena and annoy everyone on RAW and come up with dumb phrases like "DUUUUUUUUUUUUUUDE" and call John Cena "Cena-burger"

DarKCentaur 02-22-2010 06:40 PM

Am I the only one that thinks Cody is better than Ted in every conceivable way?

Heros Welcome 02-22-2010 06:44 PM

I'm with you dark, I think Cody is just as good as Ted if not slightly better.

Droford 02-22-2010 07:33 PM

Cody should put a mask/costume on and become the American Nightmare Cody Rhodes

I think Cody is better than Ted in everything... EXCEPT how he looks. DiBiase has the way better look than Cody.

I think they both look kind of generic, but Ted less so.

I think Cody looks much more refined than Ted in the ring. I haven't heard enough of either on the mic to say who's better, but Cody seems to have a better grasp on hi ring work than Ted to this point.

That would actually be a pretty badass heel name. Play up a sadistic type character.

Yeah, but They've also been in a group for their entire runs. Technically, Cody started as singles, but his old man was always around, then Holly, then Ted. I think once they disband, both of them will develop normally.

They already did that in WCW with Dustin Rhodes, didn't work.

It didn't work because it was Dustin Rhodes.

I agree with this. Ted DiBiase has beefed up his game recently, but I do still consider Cody Rhodes to be the better talent. Anyone who thinks he is about to get released is nuts. A 24-year old guy who has been in main events, beaten some of the top guys in the WWE, has a dad in the company, and shows so much promise? Yeah, he's going to have a hard time keeping a job.

Dorkchop 02-23-2010 01:56 AM

Cody just needs some kneepads... and to wear them on his knees. This will solve every problem in pro wrestling.

Mr. Nerfect 02-23-2010 01:56 AM

I dunno, I sort of like that Cody uses his knees like an old-school heel.

Ytoojae 02-23-2010 02:45 AM

If Cody wasn't a second generation superstar then I would doubt that we'd even be talking about him. He'd probably be some unknown indy worker.

DiBiase, on the other hand, would be discussed purely for his look. He'd be in the WWE regardless, in my opinion.

However, Rhodes is a slightly better wrestler. However, that doesn't really matter, does it? Danielson is a million times the worker Rhodes is and is only now getting his opportunity.

Mr. Nerfect 02-23-2010 03:25 AM

I don't get what people see in DiBiase's look. I mean that seriously. He honestly looks like one of my best friends -- and that guy doesn't get any pussy whatsoever. DiBiase looks so much like a "normal guy." I wouldn't hold that against him, but I don't get why people talk look, look, look with DiBiase.

I'd also like to point out at this time that Daniel Bryan probably could have gone to the WWE whenever he wanted. He's done his own thing by choice.

Ytoojae 02-23-2010 03:44 AM

The look thing with DiBiase is that he has the right height, the right physical build, etc. that the WWE always likes in their top guys.

In comparison, Cody Rhodes looks like your average guy off of the street. Doesn't particularly look that tough, appears to be someone that an average person could fight well against.

I know I'd be more scared of DiBiase than Rhodes if it came to a legit fight.

The Mackem 02-23-2010 04:25 AM

Special referee, sides with one of his ex-stable mates.

It depends. I'd probably be scared of both of them. Cody looks like he can move around pretty quickly, and Ted just seems like a big teddy bear.

owenbrown 02-23-2010 06:30 AM

*insert CAWdy joke here*

Favre4Ever 02-23-2010 08:10 AM

Dibiase has a weird mole. I think that will likely hold him back for all time.

Fignuts 02-23-2010 08:23 AM

Cody just needs more muscle. I think Mysterio is more jakked than him. It's pathetic.

Everytime someone puts a move on him, I'm expecting him to break.
