Not only here, but it is what this thread is about. The attempt to stir some action with this McMahon-Rhodes feud angle. I've seen and heard some fairly good ideas (Dusty taking over SmackDown! ?) but really nothing that has struck me as an OMG. Anyone really give a damn, and if so, any ideas what they should do?
Some thoughts I have seen:
Survivor Series Classic Match: Team Rhodes vs Team McMahon
WrestleMania 30: "The American Dream" Dusty Rhodes vs "The American Grapefruits" Vince McMahon
Bringing Shane McMahon back, and siding him with the Rhodes family
Bring back the DiBiase family in support of their old enemies-allies, the Rhodes.
Bring back Cody with a chance to win his job back, and the US Title, if he can beat Dean Ambrose with The S.H.I.E.L.D. in his corner. Cody gets Dusty and Dustin (sans Goldust makeup) in his corner.

I wish theyd a had Dustin fight as Dustin...and not as Goldust.
Proud of his fam and fighting for baby brother...but still parading out as the gold freak. I know thats how he was known while there...but more people might have bought into it, if he just comes to the ring as himself.
Maybe its just me. <shrug>

Danny was saying the same thing when we watched it. I will say Dustin looked better than he has in a while.
But no, I honestly don't care about the Rhodes/McMahon crap. Really, unless it's Roman Reigns on the screen I don't care what happens with WWE.

I find Roman Reigns to be by far the least interesting of the Shield. Rollins, despite routinely putting on great matches, is likely destined post-Shield to be main-eventing Superstars with Justin Gabriel, Wade Barrett, and Heath Slater. Ambrose is the most-likely long-term breakout star.
I'd be much more excited about the Rhodes stuff if I hadn't read the other day that the entire angle was a last-minute idea cobbled together by Creative after nobody had bothered to tell them that Cody had requested time off for his wedding and honeymoon. That being said, I wouldn't mind a Dusty/Vince match, and if it was me Survivor Series would feature Bryan/Cody/Ziggler/Show/() against Orton, the Shield, and Ryback. However, WWE tends to make the SS matches random and pointless, (see when the potentially interesting Punk/Foley match turned into Team Foley against Random Heels) so I expect that SS match to actually be Cody/Ziggler/Show/Miz/RVD against the Shield, Sandow and Fandango. Because, why not?

Yeah. It is pretty cool that Cody finally is going to go through it so he can do it (nod to all Robin Hood: Men In Tights fans), but they could have done something better than fire him. Make him be 'suspended' for 90 days or something would have been a far better ploy, and they wouldn't have to drop cash to Big Daddy Splotch to have him waddle out and call Stephanie a "Jeth-eh-behl if you weee-uhl".
LOL I forgot how much fun it is to type in Dream Speech.
