In a recent interview, former WWE superstar and second generation athlete Cody Rhodes broke his silence on his attitude towards WWE, especially when in regards to current talent still within the company.
When asked what his advice would be to WWE superstars currently mired within the sports entertainment juggernauts’ midcard, and therefore looking to possibly branch out on their own, the son of a son of plumber heavily implied sticking with the ‘E, having this to say on the matter;
“The reason I tell them that, unless you have the balls to do this, and when I say the balls to do it I mean full hustle, full commitment; that date book should be filled within three days.
It’s not like WWE where you drive into a town and you’re on a loop, this is a different story here. You’re flying every morning, every show you’re expected to be this..the ex-WWE name carries some weight, you’re expected to be that and be on, and not everyone can do that”.
It seems that whilst leaving the sports entertainment leviathan, Cody still understands the benefits of being a part of Vince McMahon’s wrestling empire, and how it can immeasurably help anyone build a name worthy of investing in on the independent scene.
