Why didn't he just grab the brass ring and say no to this gimmick?

He’d have been plummeted even further down the roster if he did that. Cody literally had to leave the sloppy shop and learn how to play to the crowd and handle himself

Unironically how is this is a bad gimmick? How is this somehow less interesting than a whitemeat "win it all for muh daddy" babyface?
I'm a sex haver who doesn't watch modern wrestling so I've never seen this faggot in action under either his real name OR as Stardust, but I seriously don't get how Stardust is worse. Especially seeing how it's a Goldust spin off and Goldust is one of the greatest wrestling characters of all time.

When he left WWE was the only game in town and it was a huge risk to leave. Backstage morale was a lot of higher and people didn't have the clout to buck the system unless they were a top 3 guy.

Yeah I get that part but still, is it any worse than default Cody "just there" Rhodes and his faggot neck tattoo?
I watched that clip a few posts above and it seemed pretty good, despite Goldie literally doing Phil's "this isn't Goldust talking, it's Dustin" bit in the beginning.

That gimmick is cooler and more marketable than “vanilla indie guy #3500” and Balor’s weird Demon gimmick.

Seeing as it failed to get over, failed to draw, and made the guy so embarrassed he left the company, yes.
This cody is a cody that actually has peopke cheering for him and paying tickets to see him, EXPLICITLY him too. That will always put him above stardust.
You're the equivalent of a faggot who would cry that stunning steve was a better gimmick than stone cold because he was a better worker back then.

Yeah but WHO is cheering for him and paying to see him? In AEW it was redditors and trannies, in WWE it's autists and pajeets. Which of those 4 demographics do you fall under, friend?

Except no I wouldn't, faggot. Stunning Steve was cool but again, Stone Cold was the better character.

Doesn't matter who's paying. Money is money and numbers are numbers. Cody draws more than stardust. The Rock draws more than rocky maiva. Stone Col draws nore than stunning steve. It's abiut the health of the industry, not appealing to you.

Wrong nigger. When *I* am watching something, it is about appealing to me. Cope and seethe.
The funniest thing about this retarded post is that character wise, it's Stardust that aligns more with the Rock and Stone Cold, not real Cody. Stunning Steve was cool as I said (not that you're old enough to remember, zoomer) but Cody playing himself has a lot more in common with Rocky Maivia. He's literally just some guy. Absolutely nothing special about his look. Maybe he's a good promo but as I've said...I don't even watch this shit.
lol at watching modern wrestling in 2022

Is there more examples of midcard wrestler leaving WWE and becoming main eventer in the indies and then coming back to WWE as a main eventer?

Closest is Drew McIntyre who went to TNA for a while and came back, but he wasn't exactly over in TNA.
John Morrison ironically is more over on the indies than in WWE. Don't know why WWE hates him so much.

Cody is a midcard performer who was part of a midcard feud about a man who was too irrelevant to be added to the WrestleMania card to begin with.

But to answer your question, there's no one. Drew is the closest but was either on NXT or outright irrelevant before his 2020 push.
