American Nightmare: Becoming Cody Rhodes

[Cwalker]

I’m sure he’ll mention the Stardust stuff cause that’s essential to him becoming “The American Nightmare”

 

[Chris]

Yeah the dashing and stardust stuff seems featured prominently from the trailer

 

[Unbesiegbar]

I miss Dashing

 

[O-Blaze]

Mustache Cody was peak Cody

 

[Cwalker]

Ten years later definitely and still think Sandow was the wrong call on that MITB

 

[Wiseman]

Mustache Cody was peak Cody

I call that Super Trooper Cody

Mustache Cody was peak Cody

In my opionion grotesque Cody was the best, the mask, making Ted Jr pass out paper bags to the crowd, that iconic IC title reign and bringing back the white belt.

Great documentary watched it last night, loved the story, and Id recommend it to anyone who is a wrestling fan.

This is when I thought Cody was going to be a top guy......then nothing.

But idk, with hindsight on our side, who's to say he would be where he is now without those experiences......because that's easy to say now lol.

I thought that year he was the best heel going, Cody was cooking in that period. Had he been world champion at the time like many thought he would be, we might not be seeing this Cody, but as you said Hindsight is 20/20

Those promos he was cutting on Rey Rey were.....***chef's kiss***

Grotesque was definitely a great heel.

Personally 2013 was when I thought they finally saw something in him. He was over when teaming with his brother and working against The Shield.

Then the 2014 Rumble came along, he came out and got 0 reaction. That’s when I knew it was just a pipe dream

 

[Chris]

2013 was the first I think we ever saw glimpses of current Cody with that Authority feud

I'm not as high on dashing as most but I did still enjoy it, I just didn't see where people were seeing it as some kind of main event act. Undashing sold me tho

 

[Shane]

Dashing, Undashing, and the Rhodes family vs Authority story were all amazing imo

His WWE run was way better than people remember. It was literally just the last two years that killed it

 

[Cwalker]

I always said I never was a hard on the Stardust stuff as most. The super villain stuff with the Ascension was more interesting than him being a clone of his brother imo.

But there was definitely a time for him to go back to being Cody Rhodes.
