yeah I read some tweets that people were disappointed he didn't come back as Cody Rhodes. I was :dwillhuh: why would he do that?

1. he is VERY good as Stardust
2. him changing his gimmick and becoming a babyface because his father died, would be exploiting his death
3. I think Cody would know best in this situation
4. people are stupid

I was tired of the Stardust character and thought it was stale before Dusty died. There's really no point of STARDUST without either teaming or feuding with Goldust. It's completely stupid and lame otherwise.

Cody is a top tier talent that's being buried in the mid-card for some reason. He was white hot whenever he was "fired" for stepping to the Authority before he left to get married. This was around the time he was feuding with Sandow over MITB. He came back to team with Goldust when he came back from his honeymoon, and he's been stale ever since.

He's absolutely right. I never got why people want him to return as Cody because Dusty passed, especially to pay tribute to Dusty. We all love Dusty but it would be exploited his death and nobody should want that.

Not a major Stardust fan, but hes great with the character. Unless he's gonna get a real push (would make a great IC champ) there's no need to rush him to return to Cody Rhodes right now.

Cody Rhodes was always a good character ESP before that mask
I agree.

He was probably booked his strongest and looked cool as hell when he rocked Jin's alternate costume from Tekken 4:

I trust codys decision
Dude is rhe most creative fella on the roster...and he tronkles comic book influence and video game references his whole career it only makes sense he gets to do some legit crossover media woth rhe atar of arrow

Plus he could easily go back to cody rhodes whenever he wants

I just hope they stop bullshytting him and give him a main event push. Dr. Dokm undashing cawdy was great
Cody at mitb with the mustache was great
Cody at wrestlemania shytting on big show for weeks was great
Cody at the elimination chamber putting in work was great
Hes overdue

I'm just saying, he shouldn't act surprised if people are telling him to go back to Cody Rhodes and ditch Stardust. It's not because of his father dying. It's because the gimmick sucks.

ah. well disagree. the character he portrays is excellent, and could have multiple layers of depth if those in charge gave him a serious push.

Why do people think he needed to come back as Cody? Did he get booed or something?

Because they aren't feeling the Stardust character and want to see him get a pity push while working a Dusty Rhodes tribute gimmick.
He couldn't draw heat last night. The crowd was happy to see him but very hesitant to boo him (for obvious reasons), so outside of a couple of "Cody! Cody!" chants and a few oohs and ahhs for 2 of Neville's spots, the match was a vacuum of sound from the crowd. Japanese levels of silence.
