I've said this a few times, but it really amazes me where Cody is at in his career right now. I don't know many people who saw him lasting this long in the WWE, and now it feels as though everyone is enjoying this character, and is really already writing him in for at least a few more years. And again, Ted is really where I expected Cody to be now, if not lower than I expected Cody to be, and Cody is being built for a Mania match in one of the most credible feuds with Rey Mysterio right now, and his character is developed far beyond his already seemingly successful character.
I've been impressed with Cody, and really can't recall a more intriguing CHARACTER in the last 3-4 years.

The Bret match is good. Don't know what Piper-Rude cage match you are referring to,so obviously haven't seen it!
I think the point Enzo made is that Dusty has had a greater number of more memorable matches for longtime wrestling fans both in terms of their stature and their in-ring quality. I haven't seen lots of old Dusty matches so can't comment on consistency, but he was world champion multiple times in hot territories and so therefore probably drew more money as a singles wrestler than Roddy ever did. However, I'm assuming if you count Wrestlemania I's tag match on Roddy's list. However most of this was probs down to Hogan and T, although Piper did play his part as T's protagonist really well.
Enzo sed: "I can name only ONE good and exciting Pipes match".
The guy knows his shit, but it's all too easy to have a momentary 'memory fail' in the interest of furthering a point. : P
As for Roddy @ WM1... Coincidentally, I was watching a Don Mauraco (sp?) shoot last night and (i guess this ultimately does further Enzo's overall point, but...) he was saying how Roddy wasn't booked into that scenario to be 'the wrestler' he was operating on an almost 'managerial' level and, as you suggested, play foil to Mr T; and furthermore that it was Orndorf who was intended to seem like the true challenge to Hogan. TBH, personally, I've always found the match to be pretty forgetable... Couldn't even tell you the finish off the top of my head!
As for Roddy/Rude cage match.... Fuck knows what show it was on (wasn't a PPV), but it was during their fued which followed Roddy's costing Rude the IC title in his rematch against Warrior @ Summerslam '89.

Didn't it involve Bob Orton cracking Orndorff over the back of his head with the cast allowing Hogan to pin him? *Nerd*
