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.
Cody is in dire need of a repackage and whatever they give him, even if it's not much, he'll make it work. He always commits 100% but Stardust is at the end of the line now.
Yeah it really doesn't matter what sort of gimmick they give Cody at this point. He will always make it work somehow. WWE just never takes advantage of it.
No. I for one enjoy the Stardust character. He's one of the most diverse characters on the roster. Stardusts gimmick clearly caters to the stoners. If you don't like or care about stardust, you just don't smoke enough weed. Smoke more weed.
I can't relate to the pot references but I have enjoyed the Stardust character. Wish it got more play than being swept under the rug. I would rather see this than another serious character.
I'm a fan of Cody's. He can do anything and make it work. He cut some very good promos as Stardust. Whatever character he does, I am going to support him.
They've royally fucked up the Stardust run, it could've been so much more, Cody is so strong with gimmicks but it's probably time to cut their losses with this one.
Either way, Cody needs to be relevant, he's too talented to be wasted like this.
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.
Well he's lost to R Truth 2 times in a row so what's that tell you though then again R truth and Stardust could have a half way decent feud if done properly
I've hated it since day 1 because I knew it wouldn't go anywhere and he'd just be a comedy gimmick. I know Cody makes the best out of everything he's given but I don't care in this case, this gimmick is terrible in terms of how far he could get and just in general.
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.
Rhodes is another example of how they've wasted a great talent. He's so much better than Stardust. If you ask me Cody Rhodes should be an upper tier mid carder not jobbing to R Truth.
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.
Maybe he could come back as Cody Rhodes and form some kind of alliance with Randy Orton again... That would make both characters that much more interesting.
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.
They messed up this gimmick when they had the chance to end it when he said he wasn't Cody Rhodes anymore. When he said that they should of had a match against Goldust where if he looses he goes back to being Cody Rhodes.
