I guess Irony, humor combined with a total lack of a sens of humor on your part = You missing that not one bit of this was seriously being offered as a TRUE idea, instead it was meant as a commentary on things Vince has been known to pull in the past. your leap in McMahon logic is what I'm commentating on. I see this all the time. Make the stupidest scenario and make it sound like its almost inevitable because the evil and senile Vince McMahon is so out of touch and only makes money because of blind luck.....even though the guy is still the greatest promoter in the history if promotions, be it a music promoter, boxing promoter, MMA promoter...and still thinks outside the box and ahead of the curve. Who besides WWE took the model they helped make(PPV)and move into the streaming world? Your ASSUMPTION makes an ASS out of you and you prove your lack of being able to detect HUMOR, once again none of that was serious though Vinnie mac HAD in the past pulls stunts and shit like this so don't make him out to be an angel. Yeah he knows how to make a buck, he knows how to tug at heart strings to exploit an advantage when he can and he's not above doing shit like this. Chrissakes man why do you think he made money in the first place!?! Because he's PUSHED the boundaries of taste/acceptable. He's also fallen FLAT ON HIS ASS more then one time. WBBF anyone? XFL anyone? But yes, I do admire Vinnie Mac, he's taken some steps, he's made the PPV market really what it is, and what it is becoming! I never ONCE said he wasn't a smart man, NOR did I say he was evil or senile or out of touch YOU said that. I just made fun of the fact that YES VINNIE has pulled stunts that were in POOR taste before and poked fun HUMOR once more missed on you before. But get over yourself dude, go look in the mirror and admir the Vinnie mac picture of the ass you no doubt have posted there and kiss it some more because man you are overly sensitive! Maybe it's your time of the month or something!

Don't act like I didn't detect your attempted humour, it just wasnt funny.
It's the same lame crap that's littered online forums since writers started doing shoot interviews. Yeah, lets just say inane and stupid shit and add a "goddamn pal" after it. HILARIOUS.
There's nothing funnier than taking a joke that worked in 09 and run it into the ground. Like they did with the "CenaWinsLOL" and are doing it with "Make Reigns look strong".
Now go cry about Daniel Bryan not being booked right, and say Pauge should be champion and that will fix everything while you're at it.

He needs memorable feuds. Dusti is nothing without Flair. Backwards.

Dustin is GoldDust, his character is enshrined pretty much in what he is. I liked the GoldDust/StarDust thing while it ran but it did run its course overall. I think it's time for them both to don the tights and just be wrestlers. The problem is, that Cody has some personality but he is a far cry from his father.
To be compared is unfair, but sadly it's the way things go when you're in a family/dynasty comparisons are unfairly made, expectations are raised.
I fear Cody and Dustin won't get a break, they'll just finish out their contract and become those obscure "where are they now" though Dustin appears to be sorta following in his fathers footsteps and is a talent agent (if I saw right) for WWE now.

From what I hear Goldust is already retired and back to being an agent,

dust falling from the sky a giant star lowers from the ceiling and on it there is Stardust and a guitar with 3 other goons that have instruments and facepaint. then when the star reaches the mat stardust hops off and has a match while the giant star stage raises back up to the heavens.
its all about entrance

Think Flair did that when he was the Black Scorpion.

Right.
US Title Open Challenge is a thing.
There is a heel potentially winning said title come Battleground.
Cody is the son of 'The American Dream'.
See, it comes in such a neat bundle, yet I fear there's little way to go about it that isn't outright exploitative. That said, would I fangasm? Yes, yes I would.

John had a good idea about ditching the Stardust gimmick and just bringing Cody back as a real person who is emotional after his father's death. You could get a pretty good feud out of that if done right. Unfortunately, I do see a glass ceiling in terms of how far Cody can go. To me he's not a main eventer, but he could be in the upper echelon for a time with the right angle.

Any push Cody gets if he all of a sudden drops his gimmick is going to result in asterisks like when Rey won his first World Title.
Doesn't do him any favours doing that because it just fuels "exploitive" remarks from pricks who just want to be offended by anything WWE.

Ahem.
Well never-fucking-mind, then.
I'm 50/50 on the reappearance of Stardust.
Pro:
It's not some semi-dodgy thingy.
Con:
It's Stardust.

I'm convinced theres some sort of Green Arrow Summerslam angle that they have to commit to. Thus, Stardust stays. Remember he re-named the Cross Rhodes "Queens Arrow" (or something like that) so yay long-term booking

I'm glad they're staying the course, pretty obvious Cody Rhodes actually enjoys being these types of characters and since he tweeted a photo of Neville's name crossed out and Green Arrows name under it....he's going to be doing something high profile.

It might not be "high profile" but it's something at least.
I think the best (and I have to agree) thing I ever heard a wrestler say was "I can jerk the curtain, I can main event, I don't care because I'm on the screen, and at the cost of one minute of television time, I'm worth millions"
I mean seriously, even if you are jerking the curtain, if you're on TV you have exposure, you might not be "pushed" right in OUR eyes but you're on TV which is more then some of the guys sitting in the back, which to me means they have some faith in your abilities.

Thera a reason why "WWE cast offs" headline any wrestling org.
