4 Ups And 4 Downs From Last Night’s WWE SmackDown (Aug 7)

4. Stardust Is Creepy And Weird In A Good Way

There are a lot of WWE fans that want Cody Rhodes to dump the Stardust and go back to the Rhodes name. I thought that way after his dad Dusty died two months ago, but as the weeks have gone by he's really impressed me by what he's done with the character. Stardust won a short match over Zack Ryder and during it, he really played up on the uniqueness of his character. Stardust is a mystery to a lot of people because it's hard to know what he is doing or thinking most of the time. The reason Stardust works is because he's completely different from everybody else. It worked for his brother Goldust almost 20 years ago too. While Goldust wasn't a main eventer, nobody will ever forget him (yes I know that's his catchphrase) and perhaps Stardust could end up having that same kind of run in his career as well. I liked his promo after the match where he taunted Stephen Amell of the TV show Arrow, who is on Raw next Monday. I'm not a comic book fan and I don't watch Amell's show, but even I'm interested in seeing what might happen.
