10 Things You Didn't Know About Cody Rhodes

The current WWE Intercontinental Title design is all thanks to Cody.

Cody Rhodes has, to date, had a strange old career. Making his WWE debut back in 2007, many in the company considered Cody a future main event star. As of yet, that hasn't happened, and it seems unrealistic to suggest that Stardust will be headlining PPVs any time soon. Aside from become World Champion, there isn't much Rhodes hasn't done in the promotion, however. A 2-time WWE Intercontinental Champion, he has also held the Tag-Team Titles on 6 different occasions. Four of those reigns came with very unique partners in Ted DiBiase Jr, Goldust, Drew McIntyre and Hardcore Holly. When Rhodes formed 'Legacy' alongside Randy Orton and DiBiase, it seemed like the sky was the limit for Dusty's son. Instead of transporting him to the top of the card, however, Cody returned to the mid card pack when the group disbanded. Various character changes, such as 'Dashing' Cody Rhodes and Stardust, haven't remedied the problem. Perhaps WWE just don't see the man as a main event level star. Whatever the case, something has held him back. As this article examines, there's way more to Cody Rhodes than just wrestling. There are many things you may not know about Cody, from his childhood to the lengths he goes in order to improve himself as a performer.
