Number 3: The Birth of Legacy

Every young guy needs a start. Rhodes started with Holly and DiBiase before getting his biggest break of all. With a hot and successful superstar like Randy Orton, Cody Rhodes and Ted DiBiase joined him and formed Legacy. This was so great because it made perfect sense. All men were born into professional wrestling. All men had the hunger and the desire to be the best. The stories wrote themselves. Being in Legacy gave Rhodes the ability to fight talent like John Cena, Triple H, and Shawn Michaels. They were so important that Rhodes and DiBiase defeated Degeneration X CLEAN at WWE Breaking Point. The following Pay-Per-View, Hell in a Cell, they fell to D-X. When Orton was on top, Rhodes was slowly coming up to his level. He got better and better in the ring, continued to learn, and had some of the best facing him on a weekly basis.
