What would you do with Cody Rhodes?

**Maluco** · 04-06-2015, 10:33 PM

Was watching RAW with my wife just now, she is a casual viewer at best but she looked at Cody and said "what is he doing, he used to be good!"

She said she remembered Legacy and him as IC champ and that he always looked "good" whenever she saw him.

I loved Goldust but I just feel like he was a genius the way he played him. It wasn't about dressing up, it was the psychology and the fact that he was still threatening as Goldust. He was a big guy and he unsettled people with his behavior and became intriguing because of that. Cody is just a guy dressing up and talking about space. It has no darkness or edginess to it and it won't have in 2015. It is boring to be honest and does him no justice. Even my wife saw that he had something in his previous incarnations, and she barely pays attention.

With that being said, what would you do with Cody? I would use Goldusts impending retirement as an excuse. Have him say he used the character to force Goldust to leave, so he could have the spotlight again. Have him talk up his desire to be seen as the standout guy, not just in the Rhodes clan, but in WWE. To start, he wants HIS white IC belt back from Bryan.

Maybe even give him a few developmental guy to form his own version of legacy, one that highlights him. Charlotte would be a great start.

Thoughts? Keep Stardust or make a change? What change?
