- Conrad Thompson runs 5 pro wrestling podcasts that have their own youtube pages.
This channel is a home to those podcasts with a shorter run like Dark Side of The Podcast
Starrcast is a professional wrestling fan convention promoted by Conrad Thompson usually the weekend of an AEW event.
This channel will also be a home to EXCLUSIVE content from those stage shows.
I don't think Stardust in its own right was a bad idea, it was gimmick that had legs since it was given a preexisting relationship with Goldust, and Cody is a fantastic performer. It could've been much better than it really was. Also the trio with the ascension I actually liked and I will fight anyone on that
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
That kid is gonna make it to the leagues 🔥🔥
Cody Rhodes was always meant to become the American Nightmare 👏👏👏👏
Fuck yeah! 😎
I think Stardust with a current Seth Rollins attitude would’ve been awesome. But Cody as The American Nightmare is 💯 legit. Love it even more
That kid even he knows 🤣
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
Here after Punk & MJF had a 20 minute promo 😂
To be fair, that's the only one I can think of that they've done
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.
Little did we know that the longest aew promo would be between MJF and cm punk lasting 18 minutes
1:44 def was Vince 🤣
Makes sense now even more with the gay stuff he’s into
So Stephanie came up with the idea that Cody should be stardust
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
Star dust still can work perfectly, as a alter ego gimmick. Like Finn/Demon Fin, Bray/Fiend, All of the variations of Mick Foley, etc.
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
Stardust in his own right was a good gimmick but IMO the gimmick really needed that match with Dustin at Mania where Stardust loses and returns to Cody. That would've elevated him so much.
I think Cody played stardust amazingly. if he had better face paint and they allowed him to make it his own thing it would have killed. but Cody also wants to be a John Cena type figure and being stardust probably seemed like a step back for him
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.
I loved the stardust gimmick I thought it was fun but it definitely shouldn't have lasted as long as it did. It should have ended when the Tagteam split
Exactly
"20 minute promos, not achance in hell" lmao they are actually 30 minutes even
Why is this in my feed right after his wwe return at WrestleMania?
Same
That what u get for agreeing the term and agreement of the contract boi
I actually liked his Stardust Gimmick
Saw like a cross over riddler and joker vibe he was a natural at the role in my opinion, you invested in the character and humour behind it
So long story short: Stephanie said “paint your face like Dustin” Vince said: 😯😯😯😯!!!! Omg yes!!! Do it!!!
And that’s how a career was ruined in WWE
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 😂
Stardust returns is gonna be like
Producer: Great to see Cody back in the WWE. He kind of looks weird without his face paint.
Vince: 😯😯🤯🤯!!! THAT'S IT!! YES!!! A GREAT STORYLINE FOR CODY!!
i still dont understand why he hated stardust so much. i loved stardust immensely
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
@@theoutsiderjess1869 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
@@theoutsiderjess1869 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.
Imagine a 10 yr old kid can understand the realities of wrestling and enjoy it better than a "wrestling is fake" whinny grown adult
“My soul left with all that hair.” 😂😂😂😂😂😂
He actually looked better with the Buzz cut
The storyline they had with Stardust vs Goldust was actually dope but was so under sold. Each time they were on screen they were too busy talking about cena and every other maineventer
It's so easy to look back now when we have the American Nightmare and say that Stardust was a bad idea. You have to step those stones man, even if you are royalty.
he abouta be on here soon on how he became "Stardust" again
I get what Cody was saying. However this is what I liked about Stardust, as the youngest of 5 kids, all siblings are different...but there's a little something that is similar underneath. That's what I saw in Stardust, that small piece of similarity in the brothers . It lasted too long I think; 3 months maybe would have been enough.
So Stephanie came up with it?
“Please No” ayeee he funny as hell. 😂🔥. Yeah we don’t want them half an hour promos 😭
This past week in AEW,Chris Jericho comes out with the Sports Entertainer gimmick. You know we’re going to get 20 minute promos now, it’s just a matter of time
Stardust was the man😂
Kid. Good Promos are usually talked about ten times more than any 5 star matches.
Am I the only person who actually liked stardust
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
1:30 ...if in case you missed it, the chief brand officer at the time was stephanie mcmahon... the one that had the look of "YEEESSS!!!!" on his face when the facepaint was suggested, was none other than the venerable vincent kennedy mcmahon.
Lmao it was Stephanie and Vince. Yup there was no way he was getting out of that. I will say I appreciated the heel work he did with Amell. Always had love for Cody since The Legacy and saw his greatness when they put the new intercontinental title on him. He carried that belt with poise.
I loved that character 😂
guaranteed the kid loves the Punk MJF promo today. He's programmable...
no 20 min promos? Well this aged poorly. Guess this was before he knew he'd have CM Punk and MJF on the same roster XD
Guess he meant scripted promos
@TGDS tEChNiCaLlY iTs OnLy 18 MiNs
@@KilBurn_Karter 😂😂😂😂
He went back to WWE and immediately cut a long promo lmao
stardust had potential but they just didn’t book it right
stardust was sh1t
I love stardust
I was not entirely sure whether the face he talked about was vince or dustins
So Stephenie came up with the idea
He can use the stardust gimmick if someone pushes him to the limit like how finn balor uses his demon character when someone pushes him to the limit
1:44 - I wonder if the initials of "someone" was VKM...
Chief Brand Officer?... He means Stephanie McMahon.
So stephanie came up with the idea and vince executed it
He is back in WWE
The reason the crowd reaction dropped is cause they took them out the tag team championship picture for freaking new age outlaws
now he's back with 20 minute promos. hahahaha #wewantcody
That kid is probably wrestling now
or shooting shid 😂
Stardust is making a comeback WM
Let's see what happens on Raw tonight 4/4/22
Cody is a 2 times intercontinental champion and former tag team champion
I thought it always looked goofy because they didn't shave/paint the top of his. He looked like a Goldust chia pet.
I don't understand the promos. 🤔
The fact that WWE ruined Cody's image and persona with the Stardust character is absolutely shameful and insulting. Thankfully he is back where he belongs and on top of the game now.
He said no 20 minute promos then proceeded to do 20 minute promos in AEW
I kinda liked the gimmick but after Cody and Goldust faced off at WrestleMania, Yes I said WrestleMania and not FastLane! This gimmick should’ve wrapped up!
First time I ever gave a shit about Cody was when he was tag team with Dustin. Stardust was fun at first but then Goldust left and then we all knew Cody will be lost in the shuffel forever
All out huh..
You know wrestling is dead when even the kids know🤣🤣😢
This time Vince will hit him harder
Todays fans just want mindless action with no characters behind it. Just “I can beat you let’s wrestle. Todays fans are so narrow minded
WWE Wrestlemania 38 2022 Texas Cody Rhodes Seth Reigns
It was vince trying to humiliate the family name
so uh...about those promos?
Stardust wasn't horrible in my opinion.
I thought Star Dust was Cody at his best.
oo
man was he wrong about the 20 minute promos mjf and jericho do weekly 20 minute promos lmao
Why have I never seen the mask !! 😩
Star dust was the best
This is why wrestling is dead. They dont even try to make it seem real. Even kids know they are "gimmicks"
ComedNM
No 20 min promos until punk
how to bury cody rhodes 101. Stardust. A++ for effort WWE.
That kid will retire Cody in 10 years, Mark my words
Smell mah mufflah, big coadeh!
Stardust ...Américain Ningthamar
Le même combat essais de devenir aussi bon que son père😂😂😂
Mais voila le fils
NE FAIT PAS LE PERE
😂😂😂😂
All cause it wasnt his idea that he wanted to get over he did a shit job of promoting himself... gimmick was a fantastic idea... it was up to him to make people love or hate it..... he just didnt do enough cause it wasnt his idea and lets face it Cody is just like Vince and his Dad if its not their idea they dont like it.
Nah. It didn’t fit him. The gimmick has to fit the person as well. Want an example? The Ringmaster.
Cant wait for jericho vs owens at next year wrestlemania it will happen
Virgil
10 yearols old smarks be like
What's wrong with 20 minutes promos?
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.
So Steph's idea?
The Chief Branding Officer at the time.
I thought Stardust and Golddust was an enjoyable combo.
io
The gimmick was absolutely terrible,just another of Vince McMahon ridiculous creative ideas to make an embrassment out of the talent
Cody Rhodes on how he became shit*
I hated the stardust gimmick talk about a bad character gimmick plus terrible booking
That is one smart 10 year old!
Star dust was a great idea that was handled badly.
He was a stupid movie 🤦
Little thug needs sleeves.😅
