Great Blog, Personally I feel that both Ted Dibiase Jr. & Cody Rhodes should both be toptier stars & WWE champ at one point. Who the hell is a DEL RIO & MIZ??? Dibiase & Rhodes should be respectivel the top heels on Raw & Smackdown
I like the Character, but it almost reminds me of Undertaker's "Phantom of the Opera" type Gimmick. I will admit one thing. It has catapulted his career forward.
Cody has been top of my 'list' for some time now. I've waited patiently to see him become a viable contender. I have said it many times, but I'll say it again - this man is the future of the WWE - and you can hold me to that statement. Cody has an 'old school' feel to him, it's obvious he's not only a superb technical wrestler, but that he's taken the time to study the art of wrestling. His time and devotion, coupled with his ability to cut great promos and 'become a character' is testament to the future of his career. About time we saw a 'smaller' guy heading for the big leagues.
I think the feud between him and Mysterio is a classic wrestling storytelling at it's best. It's been a great build and Cody Rhodes (give the assist to Dusty) is turning into a great heel. I loved his Dashing skits but turning into the Phantom of the Opera EPIC!
What Rhodes did and is doing is great, his interviews have improved. The one thing I would do is make the mask black, give him an even darker image, the clear one is stupid.
He's been my 2nd favourite in WWE after the Miz since he started the dashing gimmick and his new gimmick is looking good his theme isn't as good now but its still good and he is talented in the ring and charismatic on the mic.
He went from that cocky heel to a dark disturbed heel One of, if not my favourite wrestler going around currently Cody Rhodes... watch this space!
