Bright, Shiny Things - 27 June '10

Least Likely To Be Future Endeavoured This Week


Cody Rhodes


This week, Rhodey Codes debuted a new gimmick: 'Dashing' Cody Rhodes. The 2 creators of 'Oh My...' officially love Cody a little bit more than we probably should, for reasons that are not clear to us. Maybe its the fact that he has a new nose piercing, or that he enters the arena backwards, or maybe that fact that he doesn't wear kneepads to seem 'old school', but we truly adore the man.



Plus, we fans know Cody is a true nerd at heart. Maybe we feel we can relate to the comic book-reading, GI Joe-playing, Zelda Triforce-wearing son of a 'Common Man'. After the break-up of Legacy, many thought that he would be the 'Jannetty' of the group, but if this gimmick works we see bright, shiny things in Cody's future - and no, we're not just talking about the light bouncing off Randy Orton's well-oiled body.








Accent of the Week


Justin Gabriel


In the spirit of World Cup fever, we pay homage to the host nation by nominating the only South African wrestler on the roster and our favourite NXT Season 1 rookie: Justin Gabriel.


Many people think that he doesn't have the mic skills to succeed in the WWE, but does any of that matter when you have a beautiful South African accent? No, is our answer. We can forgive his shakiness and stuttering just as long as he says something with that accent, because the creators of this blog are seriously considering moving to South Africa to adopt their African twang.


Thank you Justin, and thank you South Africa.*


*But our appreciation doesn't quite cover the whole vuvuzela situation.













Look-a-likes Of The Week


John Cena & Darren Young



Yes, we know it's probably very predictable, but it's also really funny. The 'black John Cena' himself even admitted it on the June 21 episode of Raw. It really is uncanny how two completely unrelated Superstars can look so alike. At first, here at 'Oh My...', we thought it was just us who had weird minds, but after reading other blogs and hearing Young's own admission, we started to think we weren't going crazy. Maybe we'll see these two tag-teaming in the future, the referee might have a little difficulty in telling them apart though. They could use it to their advantage, its been done before; just look at the Bellas, the Usos, and Edge/Curt Hawkins/Zack Ryder.










Woo Woo Woo. You Know It.
