"Dashing" Cody Rhodes
Last week was my first time seeing Cody Rhodes new gimmick of him trying to play the pretty boy, self absorbed, young egomanic. Does anyone have any thoughts on the subject? Personally, I dont hate Cody. He really improved when he teamed with Ted but I dont know if he's ready to be out there on his own yet. Maybe he could get Chris Masters to be his backup, play up the "were both perfect" heels. I still can't see why there hasnt been a feud with Goldust (if he doesnt retire again ) or even if Dustin Rhodes becomes drops the gimmicks and becomes a mentor to his younger brother.

I'm still thinking about that promo he did a week or two ago.

That promo was probably his best since he's been around. This isn't a main event gimmick, but he isn't a main event player yet. This will take him there.

Its certainly better than what he was doing, which was generic somewhat mean spirited heel.

He's gotten some decent heat, and he's been able to make the gimmick work, at least for the first few weeks. Cody, IMO, is just as talented as Ted is minus the "look," which is ironic considering his gimmick.

I think he'll make it work to the tune of a US title run (and some pretty solid heat), but for him to move above that he'll need the gimmick to evolve.

Oh, and he'll need a valet at some point, only makes sense with the gimmick of "I'm sexy, and if you don't believe me, ask the divas."

The promo was pretty good.

I liked it when he said to the woman "I can literally hear you getting fatter!".

It reminded me of some of the heels of the past who would involve the crowd in their promos and make fun of them. Heels don't really do that these days. The last guy I can remember who involved the fans in his promos was Edge.

He's not dashing at all. I think this should only work if he's getting rejected all the time (as it backs up the fact he aint dashing) and gives him some "laughing at you" heat. Give the crows a reason to hate him "Cos he thinks he's all that, but he ain't at all". Kinda like someone who can't sing on Pop Idol, but is absolutely convinced they can.

Dashing is awesome. No idea who's idea that was cos it's quite strange to see that word used like this. They'd go with stupid things in recent times, but dashing is a word that just aint used enough. Awesome stuff.

With this gimmick, a tag team of Rhodes and Zack Ryder would lead to some epic promos. Too bad they're on separate shows.

Not a fan of the new theme, but the entrance definitely seems to generate some heat.

Another week's entrance should settle it. Oh well, atleast now we shall see if it was the "generic entrance theme" that was keeping him back. In any case, he is now definitely my pick to be the Smackdown MitB winner.

Did you guys hear there was an incident at Tuesday night's WWE NXT tapings where Cody Rhodes was upset at Lucky Cannon? At the end of the tag team main event, Lucky didn't take Rhodes' finisher, Cross Rhodes, very well. Cody was visibly upset at the effort from Lucky and continued to vent backstage.

Geez I think that entrance is rather unique and for some reason that theme sounds a bit like Living On A Prayer by Bon Jovi. Must admit the gimmick is nothing new it's been done countless times but for his current status it's doing the trick. If they ever decide to push him further though they should cut it all together you can't really take him seriously enough until he's picked up a few big wins.

Dashing is awesome. No idea who's idea that was cos it's quite strange to see that word used like this. They'd go with stupid things in recent times, but dashing is a word that just aint used enough. Awesome stuff.
I really like where this is going.. Nice take... I think they should give him a valet...

He's just jealous.

Jealous that he's not dashing like Cody Rhodes.

I really just never liked him. I think he is terrible on the mic. I don't think he is anything special in the ring. There are plenty of people with the same in ring skills and just better on the mic and better overall that are not getting pushed.

That is definitely true. There are plenty of guys that are better than he is right now. But in fairness, Cody has come a long way since his debut. He never really got a chance to do anything on the mic that was just his and while being in Legacy was great for his exposure, he didn't really ever need to carry a match. This push will be a test of how he improves.

So, the whole "Uncommon" Cody Rhodes gimmick lasted what, a week?

Anyway, I'm of the opnion that Cody has always had personality, though he couldn't really show it being a Legacy lackey, and I think he really got a big break when he moved over to SD. After all, it's the show where younger "up and coming" guys can actually get a decent amount of air time.

In fact, I think he's been quite entertaining on both SD and NXT, and I think his "dashing" promo was the best part of admittedly lame SD that night.

What they need to do now, IMO, is be consistent with this. Let him be self-masturbatory in promos, but keep the cruelty he showed against Cannon and Striker. I think if that happens, he'll be on his way to greatness, but give him a chance.

I really don't think he will be able to pass the test. However, even if he doesn't pass it, he will still be used because of Dusty.
