Hey, did you guys know that in the May edition of WWE Magazine, Ted DiBiase is asked what he won't miss from his days in The Legacy. He said playing with G.I. Joe action figures, then he relays a bizarre story of Rhodes once seriously asking him to play with said toys.
"Well, he wanted to play "War," and I thought it was some video game or card game. Then he pulled all these dolls out of his bag. He lined them up and started making noises like, "Pow! Pow! Boom!" It was just bad," DiBiase said. "I thought it was a joke, but he told me I needed to take it more seriously. I felt inclined to play along because I didn't want to hurt his feelings. Never again." ![]() |

Also, on a side note, I know some fans who bash Cody for not having the physique to be pushed...uh, what? Since when does that matter? He's scrawny, sure, but that could be more of an advantage than a disadvantage when it comes to his character... the scrawny, arrogant guy whose ass the fans want kicked. |

To your first point, Rhodes has improved a lot, but there is no way he is better than Ted. I actually think Ted has the total package and can be a huge star and the next big star. I just think everything about Ted is better than Cody. |

I think Cody has a slight edge in the promo department. He sounds a lot more comfortable than Ted on the mic.

I have always liked Cody Rhodes. I just didn't like RAW. Now that he is on SmackDown! I can get into him more. His ring work is good, and his promos are good. What's the problem? I'm not into the whole narcissistic gimmick, but we'll see how it goes. Such cheap boring heat, but if he contrasts it with good in-ring performances then it's probably perfect for him.
Cody is slightly better than Ted DiBiase, in my opinion. Not that Ted himself is bad -- I just don't see anything special about him, and his gimmick is even more bland that Cody's. At least Cody has a mean-streak. |

I think Cody has been ok on the mic. Definently something his dad passed onto him, although he's nowhere near the greatness that Dusty Rhodes is on the mic. His wrestling I'm indifferent on right now. He doesn't suck but nothings been amazing to me at least. Although he's got my interest lately because I want to see where this new "dashing" gimmick takes him.

I caught what I missed on Friday's SD! on YT over the weekend and I gotta say his new theme and tron are pretty sweet. The mirror in his tron kinda reminded me of Mark Jindrak in his "reflection of perfection" days.

Cody Rhodes might be the most boring guy in WWE since Khali.

I like it. Something abit 'old fashioned' about the gimmick but it works for him.

I'm with Noid with the "cheap, boring heat" comment. I'm not really into it yet, but who knows. He does put on good matches though.

Lex Luger and Mark Jindrak called and they want that mirror technology.

I will probably YouTube his eventual match with Kofi Kingston over the IC Title. I'm sure that could be a doozy.

Watching Cody's matches with his new gimmick, reminds me of him almost acting like Rick Martel.

I suspect if he wore kneepads, he'd look less like a douche.

I'd rather focus on other parts of his body.

yeah I'm a fan of The Dashing gimmick. It is kinda cheap and seems a bit dated but it works for him. In a good way. I would love to see Kofi vs Cody on PPV for the IC title. Could be a good feud.

I don't know. At least he has a gimmick now. I think it's ok for now. It's better than when he was just boring guy in Legacy. He's a heel that's annoying, and I think he pulls it off well. His delivery ain't so wooden, like Dibiase's.

Don't get me wrong I like Cody but Ted deserves a singles run with a midcard belt first.
