Cody named some of the wrestling legends who hailed from Georgia, including The Armstrongs, Arn Anderson, Ron Simmons and Ray Traylor. He talked about the history of Jim Crocket promotions and later WCW being based out of Atlanta. He boasted, “If you’re gonna do it, do it big,” he boasted, before revealing AEW Dynamite is headed to the State Farm Arena. The venue plays host to the NBA’s Atlanta Hawks and can accommodate over 21,000 fans.
