Cody Rhodes

Cody Rhodes is a professional wrestler from the United States of America, currently signed on to perform with the World Wrestling Entertainment or the WWE, the premier professional wrestling promotion in the world. Rhodes hails from a wrestling background and is a second generation WWE Superstar, with his father The American Dream Dusty Rhodes a legend in the promotion and his half-brother Goldust is also a professional for the promotion.

The young Cody began going to pro wrestling matches from a very young age and when he was in high school, he used to referee matches in his father’s promotion. He started wrestling professionally at the beginning of 2006 after being signed on to the Ohio Valley Wrestling, which was the training circuit for the WWE. While he was fighting in the OVW, Rhodes became a huge name and won plenty of titles, both in the tag team and individual circuits including the OVW Heavyweight Championship.

After impressing in the OVW, the WWE gave Cody Rhodes the chance to appear on their televised shows and he began his televised career in 2007 and by the end of the year, he had captured his first title in the promotion, winning the World Tag Team Championship with Hardcore Holly as his partner. However, after two months partnering Holly, he formed a secret alliance with Ted Di Biase Jr. and during a match, turned on Holly.

He held the World Tag Team Championship with his new friend and later, teamed up with Randy Orton to form The Legacy. Since then, Cody Rhodes has been in and out of the main frame of the WWE and has had to bear the brunt of many fans where as some others have blamed the WWE for ruining the career of one of the most promising wrestlers in the promotion.

All the Tools

World Wrestling Entertainment or the WWE fighter Cody Rhodes has all the tools one needs to succeed in the business of professional wrestling, and become a superstar in the promotion. However, it seems that he is only being able to reach a certain level of success in the promotion before he finds himself sliding down the pecking order once again, having to fight it out to reach the level of mediocrity once again. And it seems that it is not only the Rhodes camp which is frustrated with the way he is being treated.

According to the reports that have emerged from within the WWE, many from the WWE Universe are also not pleased with the way the WWE is handling or rather mishandling the situation of Cody Rhodes. And one of the main critics of the WWE in this situation is his half brother Goldust. According to him, the WWE is blowing it hot and cold with the way they are handling Cody and they just need to make their mind up about what they want to do with him.

Goldust went on to praise Cody further, stating that the youngster has a very cool and calm head on his shoulders and added that he is extremely proud of what he has achieved in the little time he has been in the industry. And to add to that, Goldust is also lobbying for a fight against his brother at Wrestle Mania to end the feud that has been going on between the two for some time now.

Cody Rhodes is a former WWE Intercontinental champion, having held the title for a very long time. But over the last six months, he has been mainly pushed as a tag team wrestler and that is something many do not approve of.

Cody Rhodes Requires Sandow’s Support

The duo was last seen working as a team on September 24, 2012 under the team name Team Rhodes Scholars but this time its constituent members Cody Rhodes and Damien Sandow have broke up to chase on their own as singles. And what has happened is no good for the two because the team was yet to realize their true potential but WWE tore them apart. Although it appears that Sandow is okay with it, Cody Rhodes seems to be in trouble. This is because Sandow has MacMahon to support him while Rhodes has none.

Although Cody Rhodes is physically fit and has always delivered a well-rounded performance but he has not been yet been blessed with the support for the higher-ups in the company. On last week at SmackDown, Cody defeated Kofi Kingston after being called the new Zack Ryder. Other than that, he also defeated two of the top stars of WWE in one after the other Raw shows. Even John Cena could not stand against Rhodes more than a few minutes in one episode of Raw. But when Rhodes faced Alberto Del Rio he was vanquished by him very quickly.

This way, things are not going right for Cody Rhodes, neither is it going well for Damien Sandow too. The parting has taken a toll on their confidence to some extent. Cody Rhodes is under quite a lot of pressure lately and is on the mid-card among the top stars and he is struggling hard to get through. In other words, WWE is behind all this. Had they not broken up the Team Rhodes scholar, such mess would not have been likely. With the team staying on a bit longer, both Sanodw and Rhodes could have settled well in the arena.
