Stars In Progress…Henry, Bryan, Booker/Rhodes & More

CODY RHODES/BOOKER T

One Temporary Step Down

Cody RhodesI am ONLY giving this a step down because I wanted them to drag it out a bit longer. Let Cody Rhodes continue nagging at Booker at the announce table until it finally becomes too much. Cody, much like any arrogant punk would, believes the "lowly announcer" will never fight back. Until…

I'm sure timing is the main reason they jumped the gun and spoiled the inevitable match between the two. This is a match to help continue the elevation of Cody Rhodes and it's best suited for a PPV like TLC. Rhodes should be in a more high-profiled role at the Rumble, so let's get it out of the way now. Understandable, but the moment it got physical between those two should have meant more. Rather, it seemed lost and cheapened a bit in the middle of all the holiday cheesiness that swallowed Smackdown this week.

I still fully expect to enjoy this program and it will be fun to see Booker dust off the boots and tear it up between the ropes again. There's no doubt in my mind he still has what it takes to pull off a great match with Cody. Also, Cody should still be better off as a result.

I only give them a step down this week for the set-up.
