Former WWE Superstar Cody Rhodes was recently interviewed by Dave Solo at the Heroes & Villains Fan Fest in New Jersey. During the interview, Rhodes discussed his WWE departure and more with Brandi Rhodes also chiming in during the interview.
What Cody had to say
Rhodes on feeling less than he was in WWE, “I was in Greensboro and that’s where my dad and Ric Flair had to get on the radio, in fans cars and tell them that the event was sold out for Starrcade. I thought ‘Here I am looking at this Stardust outfit in my bag I feel like I’m less than I am and no amount of money is worth being less than I am.’ I don’t want to be anything but #1.” Rhodes on wanting moments and not money, “I don’t want the money, I want the moments and WWE are not giving me the moments.”
A lot of fans say that they knew he didn't want to be the Stardust character for the amount of time that he was, but even towards the end of his stint, you could start to tell he had given up on the whole look and character. Even fans of the Stardust character began to say it was stale and now we know why if the heart of the person playing the character isn't in it 100% it will show.
When the Stardust character came in people were shocked because Rhodes and Goldust came off such an incredible hot streak with the beating of the Shield where they did this incredible angle where they attacked the Shield in hoodies after running through the crowd and Dusty Rhodes came down the ramp. Probably one of the moments Rhodes talks about in the interview. It is also sad that after a botched Fastlane match any real direction with the Stardust character became always unknown.

Seems a little harsh
Brandi Rhodes also said that someone could make a hat out of turds, creating a turd hat, and it would get over in the WWE! She also said she was departing from the WWE anyway.
