Outlook - Cody Runnels has all the potential to became a pro-wrestling great like his father before him. An accomplished amateur wrestler, Cody had a legitimacy that his father and half-brother never did. After high school, Cody spent time in Hollywood honing his acting skills. That package came to OVW and within a short time, Cody Runnels was one of the company's most over stars. His athletic physique and boyish good looks gave Cody Runnels a marketable appeal with female fans. Within six months, Runnels was the OVW Champion. In another six months, he was a WWE regular as Cody Rhodes. One of the youngest wrestlers on their roster, Rhodes is still green and lacking charisma. However, he is progressing and the WWE is strongly behind him as a future ace.
