Cody Rhodes gone?????
While this may be unrelated, PWInsider.com is reporting that both Rhodes and Goldust left the SmackDown television taping this past Tuesday before WWE began filming the show. Son of a bitch...... Last edited by Mercenary; 05-22-2016 at 02:31 PM. |

Wow I hope its not true.
Totally out of left field and something I didn't expect. Reminds me of when Eric D left CHW for a bodybuilding career, he was in his prime and just up and left. I wonder of Cody has a new career in mind? |

So is he done wrestling all together? Really couldn't see him going to TNA or ROH. Think a run in NJPW would be great for him. WWE really missed out on the Stardust character and I can see why he would want his release. Could be the best way to bring back the Cody Rhodes character back to WWE in like a year after successful time away.

Cody could do great things in Lucha Underground, his character work is top notch when he actually has something to do.

He had been teasing for a while about dropping the Stardust gimmick, wonder if the WWE thought otherwise or the usual "Creative has no plans" type deal.

He pretty much peaked. He needs time away from the WWE to refresh.

I'm looking forward to seeing what he has to say about his future. As much as I'd love to see him try his hand in Japan or something to carry on wrestling (and he's only 30, so there should be plenty of room in the tank) it wouldn't be much of a surprise if he's just done with the industry.
Maybe he just doesn't see the point in carrying on with Dusty not around? He had said he wanted to continue the Stardust character to honor his father but WWE aren't doing anything with him, so maybe that's it. |

Well....let's start naming obvious factors that could lead to it.
Dusty Frustration with direction of Stardust Frustration of not being used period Someone did/said something that pissed him off Maybe something happened involving Eden (Quit, random disappearance, kidnapped by someone here on the forum) Only time will tell. |

They really screwed up by not having Dustin vs Cody in some foem at Wrestlemania, particularly when Dusty could have been involved. Stardust was a benter thing than should have been expected, they should have run hard with it.

Well I'm glad he did it. He's been wasted and if he can get a job in NJPW then he'll return as a main eventer someday.

Think I would side with Gertner on this one. Not a lot more could be done with him at this stage and he has obviously been around a long time.
Hated Stardust tbh. Thought it was just him jumping around and trying to be wacky. It lacked all the things that made GoldUst great at his peak. Goldust could be intimidating, unpredictable, wacky and crazy, even downright scary. He was a serious threat and was played perfectly. He had the amazing entrance and this great mystique and presence. It was a unique character, and at the time, it pushed the envelope and was allowed to be edgy and controversial. Stardust is a weaker all round character in just about every way, being played in an era where there was never going to be any edge to the character. It was a poor imitation. In saying that, I think Cody has it in him to reinvent himself and come back as a bigger player. If the likes of Luke Gallows can do it, then Rhodes definitely can. |
