    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

    • @nickgwyn1225
      @nickgwyn1225 2 года назад +38

      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..

      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.

      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.

      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
