Bio
As the son of WWE Hall of Famer the “American Dream” Dusty Rhodes, Cody Rhodes grew up admiring his father and watching him capture the imagination of wrestling fans worldwide.
He could not wait to carry on his father’s legacy while carving out one of his own in WWE.
Besides being the son of “the son of a plumber,” Cody’s appearance and natural ability seemed to make him destined for success in the squared circle from the start.
The second-generation Superstar quickly fulfilled that promise in the tag team ranks, capturing several tag team championships.
Together with fellow multiple-generation Superstar Ted DiBiase, Rhodes would soon look for additional guidance from another Superstar with the squared circle in his blood, Randy Orton. With Orton as their mentor, the trio formed The Legacy, overtaking their adversaries with overwhelming force.
Shortly after being voted “Most Handsome Superstar” in a Divas poll on WWE.com, Rhodes added the moniker “Dashing” to his persona, showcasing a new level of self confidence that included giving numerous good hygiene tips to the WWE Universe on how they might become more like him.
However, that all came crashing down following an accidental facial injury in a match with Rey Mysterio. Behind a protective mask, the extremely bitter, self-conscious Rhodes began to spread his torment through WWE.
One way or another, dashing or devious, Cody Rhodes is relentless in his pursuit of a long-lasting legacy.
Breakdown
Meh. Cody Rhodes is smack dab in the middle of the pack with an Overall rating of 85, with all of his attributes landing in the area of 70–85.
Between his Ring Escape ability and an 85 Adrenaline rating, he’s great for running away from the match, but his pretty good Grapple Defense of 85 will help when you get caught. He’s got two cool names on his Finishers though, with the Cross Rhodes and Silver Spoon DDT.
