DISCUSSION - If Legacy is destined to split it, should ORTON be the one to turn face?

Another excellent point.

The one that concerns me about Dibiase is this:

-The WWE turns him face and puts him in a program with Orton
-Dibiase gets nice sized pops
-Dibiase/Orton feud eventually ends
-Dibiase's pops eventually die down and he basically becomes a late 90's/early 00 version of Test (if you recall correctly, Test's face pops also died down considerably once his program with Stephanie McMahon and DX ended).

I don't think Dibiase has the charisma right now needed to be a strong face for the long run. By sticking with Rhodes and feuding with Orton (as heels), I think it would be better for both in terms of garnering heel heat and character development.

He does actually have a lot of charisma they've just had him tone it down quite a bit since he was in FCW. There is no way he will end up like Test he was not a 3rd generation wrestler afterall. He is the next Orton like it or not and I wouldn't be surprise if he started his own stable with his brothers Mike and Brett.

I hope you're right.

However - I still think that at this point in their careers, it would be better for the WWE to keep Priceless (Rhodes/Dibiase) together for a little while longer. Let the both of them be dastardly heels as a tandem.
