He did interviews with videogame websites and still stayed in character, for goodness sake. Incredible commitment to the bit. The man has heart, and he more than paid his dues. I wish him nothing but the absolute best.

Stardust may not have been the best gimmick in the world but I enjoyed watching Cody Rhodes as Stardust when he was teamed up with his brother and then The Ascension for the short time both of those lasted. It's just a shame we never got to see him go from Stardust to Cody Rhodes in terms of him losing his mind believing he is Stardust and Goldust trying to bring him back as Cody Rhodes. They could have had the same match at Double or Nothing in WWE with a slightly more entertaining storyline if Vince McMahon wasn't in charge back then.
