Last night after losing to R Truth we saw Stardust sitting beside the ring looking pissed and acting as if "You know what fuck this stupid gimmick". Plus the announcers was pretty much saying "I think Cody's thinking this Stardust thing wasn't such a great idea now".

I hope to god this is leading to Cody Rhodes coming back and getting a good push. A few years back i was thinking Cody was a future main eventer but they've just took him so far down the ladder with this crap gimmick its unbelievable. Just give us Cody Rhodes back and give him an interesting character arc and at some point put him with the Authority or something, cause if they just turn him face and have him as generic good guy Cody he wont go anywhere.

Turn him back into Cody and do something interesting with his character, as i said maybe put him with The Authority.

Maybe its the nostalgia in me but I really enjoy the Stardust gimmick. I'm personally a fan of gimmicks rather than just "wrestlers" who use normal names and act like normal people fighting each other. I know the majority of people seem to like that more nowadays but I'd much rather more wrestlers use some sort of gimmick or at least have gimmick names. If I want to watch two guys fight each other then Ill watch MMA. To me "Dwayne Johnson vs Mark Calaway" just doesn't sound as cool as "The Rock vs The Undertaker" in a wrestling sense to me.

I was gonna say, when he tagged with Golddust it was cool. But as a single competitor, it just doesn't work at all.

They should have some kind of intervention for him, with the return of Golddust.

He's the only guy in the WWE that has made every gimmick thrown at him work.

His post-Undashing gimmick as IC Champion was his best, and he should have been pushed right then and there. It boggles my mind as to how more Cody needed to do to drill it into the heads of Creative and Vince that he deserved a main-event push.

FFS he made a mustache gimmick get over. By no means is it Cody's fault that he's not a main eventer, at least not anymore. The WWE made it clear since Legacy that Ted Dibiase Jr > Cody Rhodes... and Cody outlasted him by miles. He became the over baby face in Rhodes Scholars, and he freakin got a Goldust X-Copy Gimmick become something of his own.

What the fuck else do you need from him? He was over. He was over. He was fucking over.

Cody needs to be with King Barrett and be the kings hand and have Bo Dallas with them as the annoying suck up to the king. Barrett needs a court and like a royal family type gimmick. Cody would fit right into this and be a great heel. Which at some point Barrett keeps taking advantage of him and it leads to Cody turning face and breaking away on his own.

Just an idea for them to build off of this point less King of the Ring they just seemed to throw together and for Cody to come back from being Stardust.

Hopefully stardust is done, even his moveset etc is the worse it's been for Cody.


Undashing Cody was the last great IC title run IMO, would love to see him back for EC.

Get rid of this gimmick already. He's still coming out to crickets whenever he makes his entrance. He deserves better than this crap. It was fun at first but right now, it has ran it's course.
