Alright, let’s talk about “Dashing Cody Rhodes.” This whole thing started because I was a huge wrestling fan back in the day, and Cody Rhodes, well, he was one of my favorites. When he came out with that whole “Dashing” gimmick, I thought it was the coolest thing ever. So, naturally, I wanted to see if I could pull it off myself.
First thing I did was study Cody’s look. I watched a bunch of his matches and promos from that time, paying close attention to his outfits, his hair, his whole demeanor. He had this slicked-back hair, always wore those fancy suits, and carried himself with this cocky, but charming, confidence. I started to make a mental list of things I’d need.
Next up was getting the clothes right. I hit up a few thrift stores, because let’s be real, I wasn’t about to drop a ton of cash on something I might only wear once. I managed to find a couple of decent-looking suits, a bit old-fashioned, but they had potential. I also grabbed some dress shirts, ties, and even a pocket square or two, just to really nail the look.
Hair and Grooming
The hair was a bit trickier. Mine wasn’t quite as long as Cody’s, so I had to work with what I had. I bought some heavy-duty hair gel and got to work, slicking it back and trying to get that perfect, smooth look. It took a few tries, and a lot of gel, but I eventually got it to a point where I was satisfied.
Then came the grooming. Cody always had this clean-shaven, almost too-perfect look. I shaved extra carefully, making sure there wasn’t a single stray hair anywhere. I even trimmed my eyebrows a bit, just to get that sharp, defined appearance.
Putting It All Together
Once I had all the pieces, it was time to put the whole look together. I put on one of the suits, picked out a matching shirt and tie, and added the pocket square for that extra touch of class. I slicked back my hair, made sure my face was perfectly groomed, and took a look in the mirror.
Honestly, I was pretty impressed with myself. I actually kind of looked like “Dashing” Cody Rhodes! It was a bit over the top, sure, but that was the whole point. I felt this surge of confidence, just like Cody used to exude in the ring.
I decided to wear the outfit out to a party that night, just to see how people would react. Let me tell you, it was a hit. People were coming up to me all night, complimenting the look, asking me about it. I even did my best Cody Rhodes impression, throwing out some of his catchphrases and mannerisms. It was a blast!
In the end, it was a fun little experiment. I got to step into the shoes of one of my favorite wrestlers for a night, and I even managed to turn a few heads in the process. Would I do it again? Maybe, maybe not. But it’s definitely a memory I’ll cherish, and a reminder that sometimes, it’s fun to just go a little crazy and embrace your inner “Dashing” self.
