5 wrestlers who need 2015 to end now
The feud that dragged along for way to longThere is a term in sports known as “No Man’s Land” which is the state where a wrestler has no place to turn and is stuck in the moment.For whatever reason, the star has become slightly dimmer or they are in the dog house with corporate (see Rusev).They may have won titles before, stood on top of the mountain and even teased fans with their brilliance, but in the end, they may have peaked too soon or never reached their full potential. Sometimes, a new character, a new role or even a new year is all they need.For these wrestlers, they cannot get out of 2015 soon enough and pray 2016 is only a moment away.
#1 Stardust
The younger of the two Rhodes sons is a solid performer. His Stardust gimmick is just that – gimmicky. And if he were in the 1980s, he would fit right in with Vince McMahon’s host of cartoonish characters.
To say Stardust is a wrestler on an island is being kind. He needs a life raft or better yet, to be packaged much like his brother – Goldust – was in the 1990s. His potential might be bigger than his older brother, but for now, he is not being booked the way he should be.
Say what you will, the idea of making Cody Rhodes the heir apparent to his brother might have been a wrong move by creative. Rhodes is a two-time Intercontinental Champion and a six-time tag team champion (three World Tag Team Championships and three WWE Tag Team Championships.
His talent is being wasted. Does he ever turn the corner, sees the error of his way and becomes a fan favorite again, or is he destined to live in the time warp of days go by where he will never be considered a serious title contender?
