Cody
Rhodes ---> Dustin Rhodes (Goldust)
Being a tag partner with Ted DiBiase early in his career
helped to give this young superstar some exposure as a heel character
within the WWE. Putting him with a top name superstar like Randy Orton
in the heel faction Legacy has helped to propel the career of Cody
Rhodes as a future top name heel if given the time and cohesive
storylines to prove his growth. Post break up of the faction, with Cody
receiving the brunt of the destruction due to a punt to the head from
Orton, Cody has continued to show promise of a strong future with his
developing in ring style. Although he has yet to be featured in a
storyline let alone matches currently on Smackdown, he has been given
the opportunity to be a coach for the second season of NXT. Young
superstars like him and The Miz given the title of “pro” shows the push
they plan to give this third generation superstar promising. He has
become more comfortable on the mic; it would still be nice if the
majority of his promos were not scripted, word for word, to see what the
kid has to offer with free range. I believe that with enough exposure
and time in the ring, as well as letting the kid go on the mic, he will
develop an original persona and personality that will allow him to dive
out of Randy Orton's shadow.
Dustin Rhodes, by far, has been one of the greatest and
most underrated workers in the WWE to date. He shined in the 90s with
his innovative (and sometimes controversial) in ring style. The second
generation star has shown for over a decade that he can hang with any
wrestler while also making them shine, highlighting their abilities. A
recent match on WWE Superstars pinning Chris Jericho with Dustin Rhodes
(Goldust), he proved that after a decade of wrestling in the squared
circle at his age, he's still got it. He was always memorable in the
ring and on the mic as either a heel or face. The multiple IC Champion
has wrestled all over the world and has proven his craft in various
countries overseas. The torch from the WWE Hall of Famer and legendary
Dusty Rhodes was handed to Dustin and he ran with it, cementing his
career in the halls of wrestling history. I believe that it is Dustin's
time to hand the torch down to Cody to continue his “Legacy.”
There has been much talk from Dustin's end of his impending
retirement. However, there is one more thing he would like to
accomplish before he calls it quits: one match on a big stage with his
younger brother Cody. I for one, feel this match would be the handing
of the torch to the next generation. Not only that, it would showcase
the full potential of both superstars given it would be Dustin's swan
song and Cody's biggest opportunity to shine. A brother vs brother
program would work wonders for Cody's career. Although there aren't
many similarities between the two as far as in ring style and persona
go, Cody will be the one to carry on the Rhodes name into the next
generation.
