Hopefully they don't fuck this one up this time. I'm probably in the minority but I actually quite like Ted and think if they can just tweak his gimmick to something more suitable to him then he could be a real player.- WWE officials now realize that they have dropped the ball twice with Ted DiBiase Jr. and reuniting him with Cody Rhodes on SmackDown is supposed to be a way of reversing things. The idea now is to re-create the dynamic that Alex Riley and The Miz had, with Rhodes and DiBiase. The plan right now is for DiBiase to continue doing Rhodes' "dirty work" until Ted turns babyface and feuds with Cody.
I'm happy they waited. Or ton got super over as a face, and as a result of them not pushing Ted/Randy, Cody/Ted both got equal chances and Cody proved what anyone who watched the two could see, he was simply better on the mic and in the ring.If WWE had the nuts they could have turned him face that night when he squared off against Orton and he was hesitating on whether or not to hit him and the crowd was really rooting for him to do it, but he ended up not doing it. If they went ahead and pulled the trigger on it, chances are it could have been a similar situation to what we have seen going on with Riley/Miz this past month or so.
Pretty much and would have gotten over perfectly since it was against Orton who is pretty damn over. So doing it against Cody who while isn't getting crickets isn't exactly gonna have too much of a pay off like it did for Riley turning on Miz who was recently world champ and top heel. So unless they plan on establishing Cody as a top guy which I doubt they will do it won't do a whole lot for Ted in terms of getting him over opposed to if they would have done it before with Ted on Orton.If WWE had the nuts they could have turned him face that night when he squared off against Orton and he was hesitating on whether or not to hit him and the crowd was really rooting for him to do it, but he ended up not doing it.
