I just watched RAW this morning and decided that Cody Rhodes is doing a masterful job of a lost art. This guy is IMHO one of the best sellers in all of WWE. His move set isnt phenomenal (pun intended), he isnt captain charisma on the mic (pun, again, intended), and he is still a young gun (again...the pun), but he is making his opponents look REALLY REALLY good.

Kudos to Cody.

What do you guys think?

Cody has done a great job. i really like the angle the 'E put on him. Dibiase Jr. and rhodes have played off each other great imo.

I've never really noticed Cody's moveset, but he takes a beating well. The only person on the WWE roster that I think sells moves so well is John Cena.

cody is definately taking controll of his tag team. he is the leader if you will, of the team. cody rhodes is definately the one who has more charisma and learnt alot off.... goldust :shifty:.

I never really cared for Cody at all when he was tagging with Bob and even before then. Since his heel turn, I've actually like him. A little personality change can obviously go a long way in the development of a character.

Cody Rhodes has improved sooo much since he turned heel. I remember some people on here (including me) talking about how he has no personality, and I think Roxxi called him the default CAW lol. But now, he has a personality along with Dibiase, and I think he can do some big things in the future

I hope Orton comes back and kicks the shit out of the two of them for stealing his gimmick.

They are both doing pretty well, although Rhodes is actually starting to outshine Dibiase.

I was completely sold on him after I saw the match with him and Ted DiBiase Jr. I think both of them did a fantastic job. Great young talent that hopefully wont be wasted. I think they both have major potential.

There is no way Cody Rhodes is carrying the team, Dibiase has far better delivery on the mic, Rhodes may be selling well but he still has embarassing mic skills. He has some sort of lisp and sounds like Daffy Duck and looks like a pussy. I am loving the new tag team though.

He got the lisp from pops im sure. His mic skills are certainly lacking, but seriously with the exception of maybe Cena (debatable) and a few other random good performances from others, Rhodes is the best seller in the company IMHO.

Cody is pretty good but too small. The furthest I can see him going is intercontinental champion status. Unfortunately, selling well is not good enough in this business, you need to have presence and a wide variety of offensive moves which he has little of. He does work best in a tag team, it is what I would keep him doing, with a bigger partner they can be believable.

Rhodes and Di Biase have both been extremely impressive and those roles fit them to a tee, Di Biase is brilliant, he somehow was expected to be brilliant simply because who his old man is and that in itself is added pressure right there, but he has delivered, yes he has plenty to learn, but he has given himself an outstanding chance and is living up to the reputation he somehow inherited!

Rhodes is improving 10 fold in my opinion, like CenaMark said, though, its simply Randy Ortons gimmick, it fits them well though!

I think the tag team of Rhodes and DiBiase is awesome and should stay like that for a while. They are entertaining to watch, and I really do like Cody alot, DiBiase... eh not so much, but idk, give them a few more months, and you got a great tag team to reckon with on Raw, 100% guarantee
