I'm guessing I'll be the only person tremendously disappointed by this.

That sucks. I really liked Cody, and I think he had a pretty good career in the WWE on the whole. He definitely made Dusty proud.
Wasn't a fan at all of Stardust, but I appreciate his dedication to the gimmick, even through hard times (see what I did there?).

I think Cody has been one of the more underrated/underutilized talents on the WWE roster. You could tell that he had the respect of WWE Creative at several points of his career (Legacy, his victory over Rey at WM27, Rhodes Scholars, The Brotherhood) but for some inexplicable reason they never fully bought in to his potential as a top guy in this business. Honestly, the same could be said for his brother and even his father's WWE career but I thought Vince would do them right by pulling the trigger on Cody.
It makes me happy to see that I'm not the only person who saw big money in 'Dashing' Cody Rhodes, and I personally think not revisiting that after his nose healed was the biggest misstep of his booking. He should've kept the gimmick to this day, and I think he could've easily transitioned to top heel by 2013 and really put on some clinics with top faces of the time CM Punk, Daniel Bryan, and John Cena.
Regardless, Cody Rhodes still had a very memorable career in my opinion. When it comes to midcard guys of the last decade, I would only put him behind Miz, Dolph, and Kofi in terms of overall success. I would put him first among those men in terms of overall ability and main event potential. He's one of the winningest tag team competitors in the history of the business, winning with the likes of Bob Holly, Ted DiBiase jr., Drew McIntyre, Damien Sandow, and big brother Dustin. He was a major part of several main event programs over the years, including Legacy vs The McMahons and taking WWE by storm as the Brotherhood feuded with the Authority. He will absolutely be missed, I wish him and his new wife the absolute best. While he is not "first ballot" I think it would be disrespectful to not give him a HOF nod somewhere down the line, since it is not uncommon for midcard guys who had main event potential to get in.

Good talent, a very solid mid card hand. He'll do well on the indies
Sucks to hear.. Cody proved many people wrong when he split from Legacy. Nobody thought he would make it at all and thought he would fizzle out shortly after the group disbanded.. He proved he can make anything work, he was booked with a lot of weird ass shit, but he somehow made it entertaining to watch.

I thought really he was incredibly generic and boring. Summed up my problem with WWE in late 00's early 10's.
When he was Dashing or Stardust was when he was at his best because he stood out more as a character.

Fuck erbody but me
He's the only person I can recall ever having a shit match with Sami Zayn.
i liked his dashing phase, the paperbags were cool. stardust was the worst thing of all time tho.
i thought he was pretty average, i only remember as the guy that didnt wear kneepads, no idea why people thought of him as future world champion, i thought intercontinental championship was the most he would ever get.
i guess he knew with all the better talent coming to the main roster he was most likely gonna be left behind. or something

Obviously going to take the stardust character to arrow to continue his feud with stephen amell

Better Off This Way
Heartbroken. Always saw the potential in Rhodes. I always felt that whenever they gave him the ball he ran with it. He rarely received the ball however. Commiserations.
Battleground or the Raw rematch?
Either way, those are two of the absolute best Shield matches. With Bryan and those guys running hot, 2013 was possibly one of the best in-ring years the company has ever had.
I'm hoping Goldy was just trying to chill his brother out.
Fucking hell!
I think people forget just how strongly he was pushed. If he connected with the masses WWE would've rolled with him.

Why pick on Goldust when they've got Cody's wife, Eden? They'll give her a burping gimmick; every time she announces someone to the ring, she burps midway and embarrasses herself.
"SHE'S BURPING, MAGGLE!"
