I liked Un-Dashing Cody Rhodes, but the more I reflect on it the more I realize Cody didn’t really have it. Even his best work in AEW relied on his brother and Chris Jericho to bring the emotional energy to it. Everything else since has kind of sucked.

His best role in WWE was probably in the tag team with Goldust in 2013. I have no clue why they had them drop the belts to the New Age Outlaws instead of going into a program with The Wyatt Family, The Usos or even The Real Americans at the time.
I really liked his work in NJPW. Bringing a classic western style heel added more depth to an already varied roster. I think his AEW stuff has been mostly good, but I'm hoping for a heel turn, as that's where he really shines.
