It just went on too long, it was a fun character that he played well but never letting him go back to Cody when he wanted to was fucking ridiculous

I never really liked it because it didn’t fit who Cody was. Goldust found success with it and that’s great but it should’ve never been given to Cody as well. It always came across as ridiculous to me

The angle of Cody losing confidence and basically going crazy to mimic his brother was good, after the initial tag run he shoulda just turned heel on Dustin....and Double or Nothing 2019 comes early

Didn’t he turn heel after they lost the belts?

Then they had that shitty match at Fastlane which upset people cause Mania was right there

To me Goldust was just such a special and unique gimmick it should’ve never have been copied

and you see what Cody is like now and it makes you wonder how the fuck he was ever wearing a leather body suit with face paint and saying it’s written in the stars and blowing confetti everywhere :lol

I remember when Legacy first formed, everyone was saying Ted Jr was gonna be the star, I stood on the hill that Cody was gonna become the star of the 2, and It looks like after all these years later I was right. I finally got sold on Rhodes with IC title run as grotesque Cody Rhodes

Just finished the doc. Pretty good but I was a little disappointed on how little they covered some things. They spent legit 30 seconds on Legacy and on the Rhodes Brothers story. They spend most of the time on Stardust and the pec injury which is fine but I wanted to see them speak more on his early career. Still very good though of course

That’s for part two when he wins the title

I feel like they didn’t want to mention Legacy much cause of Ted Jr’s situation
