Outside of EC's point that Show is the better wrestler (its true, don't bother arguing) the one thing that Show/Rhodes has going for it is its unpredictability. You say a non-wrestling fan can write Cody/Dustin? I say you're wrong, because at least half of them would probably put Dustin over like morons who don't understand how wrestling works. IF Cody/Dustin was to go off it would be almost as predictable an outcome as HHH/Taker is, and really, who wants predictability with their wrestling?
Cody/Show is unpredictable. I don't know what world your living in. Big Show may be a better wrestler but it doesn't matter. It infuriates fans when young guys like Cody Rhodes think their better than their family. They would be anxious to see if he can prove it or not. They don't care about seeing if big show chokes again at WrestleMania or not. And Goldust actually got a lot better in the ring starting in 2009. So the match would be good.
Glad you at least countered all my points, I'm sure you had sensible arguments for each of them but just overlooked it, but anyways...
You clearly don't understand what WWE is thinking here from a business perspective. Their fans are more connected to The Big Show, and more familiar with him, so putting him against Cody was a no-brainer. It means more to the fans to see him against Show than it would be to see him against Goldust, who some of them have probably already forgotten about since his last Smackdown appearance, because he's not that important. No matter how much you like Goldust or anyone else, it's not your place to say who WWE is misusing or how they're misusing them because you've never been on the other side of a booking sheet. They're experts and they do what they do for a reason. I hate to see Curt Hawkins and Tyler Reks forced to compete on NXT on a weekly basis, I especially hate to see Alex Riley on there, but when you don't have anything for somebody, there's nothing you can do about it. When there's an opening, they'll fill it and someone will be pushed. If they're released, it's all the better because then I get to see them on Impact Wrestling or ROH or in England (most likely), so it's whatever. I'm glad Bryan's getting pushed, I'm glad Punk's getting pushed, I'm glad Ziggler is on the up and up and I'm not acting like a bitch about wrestling.
Did you actually say "if they don't have something for somebody" how does that counteract the Dustin/Cody or Cody/Show argument.
