Cody Rhodes portrayed a number of gimmicks during his WWE run though the most controversial of them all has to be his Stardust persona.
While Cody tried to make the gimmick work, many believe that lack of creative freedom and having no long term goal for the character led to its failure.
However, the former WWE Star himself has a different perspective on things and while replying to a fan on Twitter recently, he explained why he thinks the character failed.
A fan wrote about the gimmick on Twitter blaming Vince McMahon. Replying to it, the former IC Champion said that he blames himself as much as the Boss and claimed that he also didn’t work hard enough:
I don’t really blame him more than I blame myself. I worked hard, but at the time…not hard enough. To go from undesirable to undeniable took a lot sacrifices, reality checks, & most importantly I had to do the damn work. I don’t want to be anything less than the guy at the top. https://t.co/aQfdZgMSOo
