Fuck yeah! 😎

If the pay off would have been Stardust and Cody being two different personas and leading to Cody actually winning MITB later down the line and creating “The High Class Family” or something along with Brandi, holding gold would have been perfect booking for that time period..

Holdouts wasn’t meant to be an alien though, just a kinky Hollywood director

The ascension had alot of potential but they were jobbers from the get go and that sucked because I actually liked them

What should've happened is that Cody slowly lost his mind, lost to Goldust at WrestleMania 32, and then slowly began to turn Face. Every month, he'd win a bit more, match after match, until finally facing Goldust again at SummerSlam, and after beating him, he'd wipe off the facepaint, and the next night on Raw, comes out as himself.

The ascension was just the new age real men wear skirts team

Makes sense now even more with the gay stuff he’s into

Rite wat the hell does a kid know about a gimmick 😂

@@GoldieVoerman right not rite

@@GoldieVoerman what

No he doesn’t. Promos are more important. Always has been

@@GoldieVoerman 😮😊 so

I can sit through a 20 minute promo if it entertains. Give me The Rock and Mick Foley celebrating Rocks birthday, i'll eat that shit up. Give me MJF insulting people for 20 minutes, i'll be completely entertained. What annoys me, and others so i've heard, is sitting through those nonsense promo's at the start of RAW that follow the same formula every . single . time. Those are boring. Scripted promo's are boring. There are very few people that can make long promo's entertaining.

The thing with those is they were cool or looked threatening star dust is just a rip off gold dust

I thought of that too. But no. Just no.

@@liamdoes8580 which is true but in all fairness at least it was in a tag team with his blood brother. They actually made it work for a while.

@@wolfmode0061 I agree! No need to tinker with the American Nightmare

I mean yes every thing Is true but dude love is a thing but not for a long time

John Cena type of figure? He just wants to be Cody Rhodes

@@richdude8150 he refused to turn heel, and he's trying to be the one figure for ALL the kids to look up to.

Exactly

Reality it was cody

@@wrestlinggirl8 it was not Cody he hated it

@@satisfiedweather480 Cody screwed Cody.

@@satisfiedweather480 go and check 2013 clip when he was fired he hated goldust gimmick and he the truth McMahon's hates for rhodes family that how he got gold paint gimmicks goldust, stardust he gave them idea he hates hhh

It’s what was best for business as they have said for the past 10 years it got old quick

Now he's the champ 😂

Same

That what u get for agreeing the term and agreement of the contract boi

He wanted to be his own character and do his own thing while I enjoyed Stardust I understand why Cody hated it. In the end, Stardust didn't benefit him

@@theoutsiderjess4869 it benefitted him more than cody rhodes did. cody is boring as shit. comes off as a rl crybaby as well

@@jackadams3878 stardust is dogshit wtf r u talking about

@@theoutsiderjess4869 he hated it because starudst was stardust, it wasn’t Cody. Cody wanted to be himself, not the ideals or a picture that was painted by someone else. He didn’t hate the character he just hated being something that he had no control of.

I remember him saying in an interview he thought it was only going to be for the storyline with Goldust and he was fine with that. But after that ended, there wasn't really a point to it anymore. He actually hated the gimmick so much that he didn't want to personally be connected to it in any way so he did all public appearances in character, as Stardust, not Cody Rhodes. Nobody told him to do that, he did it on his own.

No you not the only one. I was amazed at how Cody debuted as stardust like I wish it could’ve went longer because it was intriguing. For one the attire he had was pretty solid in terms of having a similar color attire to his brother but there were distinctive differences as well like the star he had on his attire. Secondly, the entrance music like man that was so good I couldn’t get tired of it like it was so catchy and i was like man I wish he can bring that theme back once but it has to come back with the gimmick cause it’s only suitable for the stardust character but yea overall stardust was a great character and unique in its very own way

i would have liked to see a nice singles run sith stardust

Music sounds better with you

Yes

I like dashing Cody Rhodes smoking mirrors Cody Rhodes stardust u uses goldust drop down uppercut and it's awesome he still uses goldust in his own way

stardust was sh1t

or shooting shid 😂

Guess he meant scripted promos

The Chief Branding Officer at the time.

promos stretching that long are totally unnecessary. 10-15 max tbh. because it only goes so long until people stop caring. That's why it's best when shorter, because it can be harder hitting without the extremely long length taking away from it

@@moistbread180 if it's back and forth it can be really interesting

@@StefanyDjuba still a 20 minute promo, they DONT need to be that long.

Storytelling happens in the ring, promos should only provide context for the action in the ring, if you need 20 minutes on the mic instead of in the ring, you should probably be doing soap operas instead of wrestling.

@@moistbread180 I'm pretty sure not even the Rock and CM Punk took over 12 minutes together in the ring for a promo. Arguably two stars bigger than Cody, basically shared 6 minutes of mic time together. I'm not keeping up with the product as much as I should, but I know promo's shouldn't be longer than 10 minutes unless you have something iconic.

Nah. It didn’t fit him. The gimmick has to fit the person as well. Want an example? The Ringmaster.
