Cody-Dust

 No surprise to see Cody here is the Stardust garb, though nice to see the Walmart blue border parallel...

I do enjoy the way that Cody treats it as a rumour that he and Stardust have never been seen together and some believe he may have been Stardust, but it's never been proven - a nice chuckle, but glad to see he is able to joke about it as the "dirt sheets" have always reported that he did not enjoy the gimmick when doing it, and that it was part of what drove him out of WWE to eventually go and start what became AEW.

In the mid 10s, he just wasn't treated as a main event player, and really, I don't think he was "there" in really connecting with the audience and finding himself. As a fan watching, this seems to be where stars are really born. It is the rare occasion someone young really connects with fans for a long career at the top, it's something that seems to need more maturity and experience to get stars there. A great example is L.A. Knight. It took him a while to get that connection and really drive the Eli Drake personal in Impact, and a bit of getting the opportunity once he was in WWE, to share and spread the charisma, and he is no spring chicken being 41 - but better late than never. Heck Cody is almost 40.

As for this pack, only the Triple H insert was a dupe, so another successful one for my collecting at least.
