Does the WWE Have Plans for Dibiase and Rhodes to be the future or jobbers?

EVAN BOURNE=WWE Ledgend

Dark Match Winner
they have basically jobbed to HHH so far in this feud. Tonight rhodes looked soo weak against HHH and they made him look like a jobber. These 2 both appear to be being groomed so that they can be apart of the wwe's future stars. This Legacy has only loward the respect that we had for these 2 prior.

your thoughts?
 
Well dude if you remember back in the Evolution days, whenever Triple-H had a feud, Orton jobbed to his rivals almost all the tim.e Here, I will make a list.
1. Goldberg: Kicked Orton's ass, kicked Batista's ass and kicked Flair's ass.
2. Shawn Michaels: kicked Batista's ass, Flair beat him and Orton beat him.
3. Chris Benoit: kicked Batista's ass, kicked Flair's ass, lost to Orton.

I would not get too overworked about tonight. Triple-H is the WWE Champion. He is supposed to beat the shit out of Orton's lackeys. That way, when he gets to orton at Mania, it will be 1 on 1. It is how these storylines usually work out. Rhodes will get there, be patient. Its not gonna happen right away.
 
Just because they've been HHH's bitches lately doesn't mean they'll be everyone elses too. C'mon, it's HHH; who doesn't job to him? Losing to Triple H is nothing to worry about. If anything, it's more believable that HHH squashed Cody. Can you imagine skinny-ass Cody Rhodes giving Trips a serious challenge? Now if Rhodes and Dibiase were jobbing to Tommy Dreamer or something, THEN we'd have a problem.

I imagine the WWE have plans for these two since they were chosen for Legacy and not Manu and Snuka. The only thing they need is more mic time and their own individual storylines, but that can come later. Right now, they're in much better positions than a lot of other guys on the roster.
 
WWE will eventually use them well but tonight was just damn embarrassing and effectively killed any believability that Cody Rhodes could have for years to come. It was a flipping embarrassment to see in all honesty. I knew that he would job to HHH, no duh. But was his complete annihilation any bit necessary? Absolutely not. We don't need to believe that HHH is anymore credible. He's a flipping 13 time champion! He could have taken Cody out and it wouldn't be so bad. But he didn't have to decimate the poor kid. Cody should have at least gotten in some offense.
 
Who gives a fuck, neither has shown anything at this point, and what purpose would it serve for them to go over on the WWE champ heading into WM, all that's gonna do is is make the champion look weak, right now having Trips beat the fuck out of Rhodes adn Dibiase, who basically are nothing more than two glorified jobbers anyway, just builds up Trips and makes him look more unstoppable, which means when Orton does beat him at WM, assuming that's what happens, it'll look far more impressive and make Orton look even more legit, and since Orton is the guy drawing and not Rhodes and Dibiase it just makes sence
 
Nicely put.

Priceless will get their push following WM25 . . . right now they are serving a purpose and doing very nicely at it. Once WM is over - Legacy is going to get some major attention for all the right reasons. See Rey winning the IC belt and JBL retires . . then one of the boys take out Rey and win the IC belt much like their fathers.

It'll be interesting for sure.
 
I really think they can be the future if given that all important PUSH. I say keep them a tag team n rejuvenate that division finally. Right now its what the business will call "hazing" Trips got it. Orton got it. So they will get it as well. Patience is a virtue in this business
 
I don’t care what anyone says, that match last night was ridiculous. HHH could have beat him soundly, but Rhodes had absolutely no offense. WWE is killing these two. They don’t cut any promos. They don’t have any gold, for the main heel stable. These guys don’t do anything but get their butts kicked by anyone who messes with Orton. Ralphus was a better bodyguard for Y2J in WCW. They need another member or two in Legacy. They need to give Cody the IC belt, bring back the Million Dollar Belt and give it to Ted. Maybe put Smith with them and someone else and give them the tag belts. Remember how well the Hartfoundation did in the late 90’s when they had all the gold and the faces were chasing after them. They did not even job the Anvil as much as Rhodes and Ted get jobbed. This group is not Legacy its Randy Orton and two jobbers right now.
 
I'm sure down the road there will be more for these two men. At this point I can't find a reason why they aren't a decent tag team. Yes, they were tag team champions, but not much was done. Right now they are just Orton's jobbers. What would have been wrong with having them booked as a formittable tag team? I understand jobbing to HHH, and thats normal for this type of storyline. Put it this way, they aren't the heel tag the New Age Outlaw were for DX. NAO were a dominant team, and I wasn't a fan of theirs at all. Yet, I respect how they were booked. They were booked strong.
 
If last night's RAW was supposed to determine Cody Rhodes' future in the WWE, then he'd be released in a few month's time. When you have a stable, like ''Legacy'', you'd think that the leader would let his ''flunkies'' get their ass handed to them every single week, so that the leader could attempt to pick up the pieces. It's happened recently with Evolution, La Familia, and now with Legacy. I don't really think that his squash last night will hurt him much, because he still has a lot of time to evolve into a great superstar.
 
The hell with those who say these two suck. I respect your opinions but give them a break. If WWE is not careful these two will end up just like Hawkins and Ryder [are those two still around?]. They are doing the exact same shit with Orton and these two that they did with Edge and his guys. Cody is great and will be a great mid card champ sooner than people think Im sure. Dibiase is even better and will be a world title contender some day. This is just my opinion and I know people will disagree which is cool. Who knows if they are the future of the company but Im sure they are destined for being more than just jobbers. But they do need to be used better than they are now. The two of them should jump HHH and beat the piss out of him for Orton to come in and punt him or something. Plus these two also need their own feuds. Cody should feud with his brother and perhaps for the IC title. Ted should feud w/ someone like Batista. Have Batista want to go after Orton and Ted steps in between them and sets up a program. It could work million dollar belt or not it could work. Give the angles some credibility. WWE needs to have more feuds like the HBK/Jericho feud. Keep us interested.
 
The problem within the WWE, and this pertains to Rhodes and DiBiase, is that they are completely FAILING to cultivate any new superstars. They have these young guys with all this potential, and then they do little to nothing with them. They never pull the trigger on giving them dominate singles title reigns or promo time and long-term angles. Rhodes and DiBiase at least get TV time, on RAW no less. They just need to be given more individual time to shine, and that will come when the Legacy begins to dissolve.
 
Rhodes and Dibiase are the future; there's no doubt about that. Right now they are putting in their time, as they should. They are playing the role of Orton's lackeys and they play it well. There would be no reason for Rhodes to be on par with Triple H at this point. It was simply a way to further the Orton/Triple H fued; it really didn't have anything to do with Cody Rhodes.

People really need to start paying more attention to the way the Legacy faction is set up. All three members are not equals- it's obvious that Orton is the man and Rhodes and Dibiase are there to learn his ways. Rhodes and Dibiase are main event talent right now purely on association. I think that's giving them some real credibility that they are trusted with that role. Give them time. I think Rhodes and Dibiase will both do great things on their own. Just let them pay their dues and put in work as Orton's followers first.
 
Last night's Triple H episode was yet another needless slaughter of a bright up and comer. Now, yes HHH had to win that match but I mean Cody wasn't even given a chance to get any offence in at all. The WWE could have allowed Rhodes to look half decent, by no means did he have to dominate HHH but even a few kicks or punches would have been nice. Thank god Rhodes has the talent to rebound from this.
 
I'm really not sure why everyone is so worried about Rhodes and Dibiase right now. Remember these two are both very young and inexperienced. They are in a great position right now. They will benefit from working with main eventers while not being the main focus. In a few years when some of today's stars are gone or winding down these two will be entering their prime years already having a little taste of the main event. I think a lot of people, both fans and WWE creative, are too impatient. Not everyone can be a Kurt Angle. Most people need time and experience to develop. They will be fine. Be patient.
 
I thoght about this for awhile last night and I finally figured out where I stand on it. Triple H pummeling Cody like that won't kill Rhodes career because it wasn't just a one off between Rhodes and HHH. It was done to further the feud between Triple H and Orton. If anything Rhodes and DiBiase both will benefit a great deal from being in a storyline this huge leading up to a Wrestlemania. Do I wish Rhodes and Triple H could have had a good match first then hunter lowers the cage? Sure. But it didn't come off that bad they way it was done.
 
I have to disagree. The point of the segment was to further the angle, and increase the interest in the Wrestlemania title match. That's it. For right now, Rhodes and DiBiase are bit players. Trying to get them over doesn't matter at the moment. And frankly, a month from now nobody is going to remember that Cody got squashed by HHH.

And frankly I'm baffled at the IWC circle jerk for Rhodes and DiBiase. I'm not saying they're bad, I'm saying that we simply have not seen enough of their work to make a call one way or another. Saying that these guys are the future of the business is a little premature considering that neither one has had anything even approaching a high profile feud.
 
Am I the only person who doesn't see what the fuss is all about with these 2 guys?

People talk about these guys, DiBiase in particular, like they're gonna be the future of WWE, if that was the case wouldn't we at least have seem some potential by this point?

OK, they're young, so they've got plenty of time to improve, but as it stands now, neither of them have shown any charisma or even halfway decent mic skills, they're bland as hell when they talk, and despite having 2 Tag title reigns and been in quite a few Raw main events, I don't recall them having a good match so far, I didn't see them in FCW/OVW so maybe they're better than what we've seen so far and just need more time, but I really haven't been impressed with them so far, if anything, they bring Orton down by him being associated with them.
 
they have basically jobbed to HHH so far in this feud. Tonight rhodes looked soo weak against HHH and they made him look like a jobber. These 2 both appear to be being groomed so that they can be apart of the wwe's future stars. This Legacy has only loward the respect that we had for these 2 prior.

your thoughts?

I'd like to see them become future stars it would be a shame to see talents like that become jobbers. I think you will eventually see them pick up steam again as singles or a tag team once this triple H/Orton feud dies down right now they are just buliding Triple H up so that at wrestlemania the 2 wild cards will be taken out so that it will be a one on one till a huge surprise happens at the end that will shock the WWE Universe.

I think in order to bulid Ted up they should bring back the Million Dollar Championship and do something with his father as his manager to really push Ted as a singles wrestler. But I must say I am a fan of Priceless when they were tag champs I think eventually you will see titles on them again especially if Orton wins the WWE title at Maina I can see Priceless going after the tag champs and winning so Legacy will have most of the main gold in WWE and be a strong force. I'd be interested to see Priceless vs Miz & Morrison, I think WWE will eventually go back down to one set of tag champs.

I can see it already taking shape seeing how M&M vs the Colons has been happening so much you know eventually somebody is going to slip and lose their belts. Also seeing how M&M are ECW talent and we've seen them on RAW,ECW, and SD something has to give I think they will eventually go back down to one set of tag champs them still being M&M because they really work well together I think.
 
I like Priceless. I'll take pieces from all of you. Cody getting his ass beat was a way to display the ruthlessness of the Game heading into Mania. Having Cody look completely defenseless--that didn't necessarily work in his favor for the short term. If Cody and Teddy look so weak, are they viable allies to Orton's quest at the title? They need to to be perceived as threatening without Orton around. If they showed up and beat the hell out of HHH on Smackdown without Orton, that would give a) Orton more credibility as a threat at Mania (not that he needs it) and b) generate more interest in Legacy.

I think that for Legacy to work, it should be built as Evolution was--individuals with common agendas. Don't completely dissolve Priceless but develop them as individuals so when they put all the pieces back together, they look more dominant.
 
Priceless could do really well in the tag division if portrayed properly. So far dibiase got destroyed by shane with the trash can incident and now rhodes by hhh. Humm they aint lookin too good for being ex tag champs

I do believe that the focus will shift back on them after wm. But if it doesn't and they dontinue on this pace. They are goin into ryder and hawkins territory. But I think that they are better then Hawkins/ryder and should get better

Agree???
 
So Rhodes was powerless against the might of the King of Kings, he was made to look weak and useless, it was bad. But it could have been worse. Triple H could have taken both Rhodes and DiBiase on in a handicap match, like he was supposed to do last week and buried them. He buried tag teams in the past like that, remember Murdock and Cade ? How about Kendrick and London ? Trips is like cancer for new talent.
 
I couldn't agree more with Kurgen, but that being said the match played out to show just how angry HHH is over the whole situation, his way of "sending a message". I believe DiBiase Jr. will get his in due time, his in-ring work and mic skills are shaping up pretty well. Rhodes, on the other hand, in my opinion, has limited potential in the world of heavyweights, he just can't seem to bulk up, though he has a fantastic build muscle-wise. As for him though I think he's around mostly because he's Dusty's son, he always looks like he's constipated and he's not close to the kind of talker that Dusty and Dustin are/were.
 
i agree to a point, but then again they are the lackeys and thats what happens to them. only thing i'm thinking is what could they do with them after wrestlemania to get them up there?

i think they should do something with legacy as a stable. too early for them to break up so i reckon they'd have the best chance relying on the reason we all like them...their fathers. maybe a feud with jericho and 1/2 more (maybe give hawkins and ryder a shot with him? or manu for being chucked out...) but could legacy turn face so easily? thats what we need to see from rhodes and dibiase i think. their mic skills are seldom seen. i think we need to see them before entirely putting them in the top teir belt category...
 
Let's not forget these guys. are 2nd gen superstars. Not many of these guys are released. That is why Sim Snuka is still here and why he didn't get released like Domino. For those wondering, yes, Hawkings and Ryder are still around, no official announcement yet on terms of releasing them. Anyway, DiBiase and Rhodes have future HOF dads. (I'm not sure if they're already in yet.) Remember when Rhodes was face and in a feud with Orton? Orton was actually close to a mid card then, but Cody was low profile. He was jobbing to Orton even then. But he was a rookie. 99.9% of rookies job. I saw a suggestion that they bring Smith in and they all win championships; that's a good story for the end of Legacys run. First bring everyone to upper card, Orton: WWE Champ, everyone but Orton loses championship, one of them gets a chance to fight Orton, bring a face in since no one really likes a two heel match up, and the two losers of legacy interfere and the face wins it.
