He'll get to play that great role Eric Angle got to play back in the day.

That would have been golden 5 years ago.

Elijah looks completely different. Wouldn't think the hair would make that big of a difference.

Really guys the DDT you want to compare Cody using the DDT, to punk stealing the GTS. How is that all comparable when every single guy on the WWE roster does the DDT atleast, Rhodes is doing it as a finish instead of a transitional move. I'm a former CM Punk fan but he has been shit in WWE, I asked for someone to name 5 good Punk matches in the E' and no one has. I remember one against Burke and another against Morrison a total of two good matches and not one good promo, thats plenty of reason to shit on the guy.

P.S. I hate Rhodes more than spunk but he aint champ.

Your mixing two things together. It's one thing to not like Punk, be it for not having good matches, or not liking his promos, or thinking he looks like a tweek, or what have you. But to complain about stealing a finisher? That's just looking for an extra reason to rag on the guy that's undeserved. Orton stole his finisher from someone but nobody is complaining every time they see it. Edge stole the spear, but no one complains. Hell, Batista has even stole the spear from Edge, and they were on the same show when it happened. Finlay stole Celtic Cross. I could go on all day, and we all know it. Very few people are using an original finisher they invented. Wrestlings moves are made to be stolen, especially if the other person using the finisher is on the otherside of the world and your audiences for the most part are never going to cross. To rag on the guy for this reason is silly, especially when you give everyone else a pass for the same thing.

You seem to forget that he had good championship matches with Johnny Nitro/John Morrison, he had quite a few good matches with Elijah Burke as well.

Orton called DDP and asked him to do it both have said this in interviews, if I find out that Punk asked KENTA to use the GTS then I'll drop it until then, I'll use it to add fuel to the fire.

I think I ragged on Punk mostly because it is distinctive, and because I thought Punk could've done other finishers - hell, the anaconda vice wasn't the pits. Besides, how many moves has Punk used before? How many does he still do? Hell, he doesn't even do the slap-headkick combo... which I realize now was also a KENTA move. In any case, it's not like it's a "Burn him to the stake!" kind of issue to me.
