Cody Rhodes Talks ALL IN, Randy Orton, and Future Shows during Reddit AMA

Cody Rhodes never shies away from a tough question. The former WWE superstar turned independent wrestling darling had plenty to answer during a Reddit ‘ask me anything’ session with fans on Tuesday. This weekend, Rhodes will serve as performer and promoter for the highly anticipated ALL IN pay-per-view that is expected to be the biggest independent wrestling card of 2018.

Despite a busy week ahead, Rhodes took time to answer questions about some of his favorite moments in the ring, plenty about the upcoming ALL IN show and he even addressed a notorious rumor regarding Randy Orton.

Here’s the best of the best from Cody Rhodes’ AMA on Reddit:

Promoting Future Shows

This weekend, Cody will put on his promoter hat after teaming up with the Young Bucks to put on the ambitious ALL IN card that takes place in Chicago. Obviously, Cody still loves in ring competition but does this latest show mean he’s thinking about turning promoter again in the future?

“I don’t know,” Rhodes answered. “I’m already over budget and overtime.”

Still, Rhodes says he wouldn’t have it any other way because he invited the headaches that he knew would happen with a show of this magnitude.

“I wanted the stress,” Rhodes stated.

Security at All In

Sadly after the shooting in Jacksonville just days ago during a Madden football tournament, some fans were curious about the security at the ALL IN pay-per-view, which is being held just outside of Chicago.

“Security was beefy from the jump, but we’ve added several levels and the building is an incredibly secure and disciplined building,” Rhodes stated.

All In Taking Place In Different Cities

Several months back, Rhodes had teased several potential locations for the ALL IN card and he even mentioned Dublin, Ireland as a possible landing spot. It turns out, Cody was dead serious about turning this show into an international card but ultimately they decided on Chicago instead.

“Loved the fans at OTT. Promoter wasn’t too keen on me and the ref actually had the balls to tell me to “take it home” during a triple-threat match. Yea, I’ll telepathically do that bud,” Rhodes wrote.

“But we weren’t lying. Dublin was considered and I’d love to be back there. Such a fun crowd that night.”

While they aren’t traveling to Europe, Rhodes was asked about bringing in more talent from overseas to perform on the ALL IN show. Sadly, Rhodes says navigating the difficult visa system made it nearly impossible to get everybody possible on the card.

“One issue with talents from outside countries was visas,” Rhodes explained. “The three of us were not versed in how that works properly. Securing the Canadian and Japanese ones were rather difficult. Lesson learned though.”

Marty vs. Okada

When it came time to booking the show, Rhodes had lots of ideas for the talent involved including the highly anticipated matchup between Kazuchika Okada and Marty Scurll.

“Nick Jackson wanted Marty to have a match. I had Marty doing a “singing segment”. Nick was right,” Rhodes joked.

The Best Advice Cody Has Received In Wrestling

Outside of ALL IN, Rhodes also answered a few questions from his past including the best advice he’s ever been given since becoming a professional wrestler.

“Never let them convince you that you aren’t the star of that tag team” -Joey Mercury

These days, Rhodes says he’s listening to himself for the best possible advice after receiving plenty from WWE CEO Vince McMahon and his own famous father, Dusty Rhodes.

“I got 10 years of advice from [Vince] and 30 years of advice from Dusty…invaluable, but got to follow my own advice now,” Rhodes said.

The Brotherhood vs. The Shield at WWE Battleground 2013

Rhodes also addressed one of his favorite moments from the past when he teamed with his brother Dustin in a match at WWE Battleground against The Shield team of Roman Reigns and Seth Rollins. That night, Cody hit the ‘Cross Rhodes’ to get the pin in front of his father and that still serves as one of the best moments of his entire career.

“Sorry I’m a little late! It’s definitely in my TOP-5,” Rhodes stated.

So .. Did He Shake Randy Orton’s Hand?

And finally just to add a little levity to the Q&A, Rhodes was asked about his former partner Randy Orton, who recently had some rumors brought up about his backstage behavior, especially when it came to shaking hands with people.

Rather than avoid the question, Rhodes offered his own hilarious answer.

“We hugged,” Rhodes said.

Reddit User “Dolphins1925” Incorrectly Predicts One Of The Matches At WWE TLC

The infamous reddit user “Dolphins1925,” who is known for his ability to correctly predict the outcome of every WWE pay-per-view match, actually incorrectly predicted one of the matches at the WWE TLC pay-per-view on Sunday night.

Dolphins claimed that The Real Americans were going to defeat Goldust and Cody Rhodes for the WWE Tag-Team Championships. After the match, Dolphins stated the following about his incorrect prediction:

How Did “Dolphins1925” Do With His WWE Survivor Series Predictions?

Dolphins1925, the infamous Reddit user who predicts pay-per-view outcomes at an impressive rate continued his nearly flawless streak by correctly posting all of the match results prior to the start of Survivor Series on Sunday night.

As has been the case lately, his predictions followed the betting lines, which produced a perfect record based on the favorites heading into the show.

The “insider money” came in on CM Punk and Daniel Bryan following Friday’s SmackDown where Punk and Bryan went from light favorites to heavy favorites over The Wyatt Family.

Randy Orton and John Cena were both huge favorites to retain their respective titles, The Miz was a light favorite to win the PPV pre-show match, Big E. Langston was a heavy favorite to retain his Intercontinental title, Team Natalya were favorited over Team Total Divas and The Shield and The Real Americans were heavy favorites to win their elimination match.

  • “Dolphins1925” Predicts All HIAC Matches, Misses Sandow MITB Cash-In Prediction

    The infamous Reddit user, Dolphins1925, once again correctly predicted all of the match outcomes for a WWE pay-per-view on Sunday. The only thing Dolphins missed was his prediction that Damien Sandow would cash in his Money In The Bank briefcase after the John Cena vs. Alberto Del Rio World Heavyweight Championship match.

    The predictions made by Dolphins followed the betting lines for the top matches, which included a major shift for the Daniel Bryan vs. Randy Orton match on the day of the event. Bryan opened as a solid favorite, reaching as high as (-2,000) before becoming a huge underdog (+1,400) on Sunday night.

    Dolphins correctly picked Orton over Bryan, Rhodes Brothers over The Shield and The Uso’s, CM Punk over Ryback & Paul Heyman, AJ Lee over Brie Bella, Los Matadores over The Real Americans and John Cena over Alberto Del Rio.

    Regarding the incorrect prediction that Sandow would cash in his Money In The Bank briefcase, Dolphins claimed it was “merely misinformation from my source,” or the possibility that WWE changed their plans after he tweeted out the spoiler.

    How Did “Dolphins1925” Do With WWE Battleground Predictions?, Possible Swerve

    The infamous Reddit user, Dolphins1925, again had an impressive series of predictions for Sunday’s WWE Battleground event. Dolphins predicted victories for Dolph Ziggler, Alberto Del Rio, Curtis Axel, AJ Lee, The Rhodes Family, Bray Wyatt and CM Punk, all of whom won their matches at Sunday’s pay-per-view.

    Where things got interesting was the WWE Championship main event between Randy Orton and Daniel Bryan. Dolphins predicted Orton would win, but also noted that there would be a “twist to the match.”

    According to one source, WWE may have swerved their employees on the finish of the match specifically because of the recent gambling situation and PPV leaks issue, informing them only of the storyline plan for Big Show to knockout Bryan to assist Orton in victory.

    What happened after that is anyone’s guess, but some claim WWE only informed a select few who were actually going to be physically involved in the match that Big Show would also be knocking out Orton, leading to the non-finish everyone saw at the end of the show.

    Update On Reddit User Who Spoils Outcomes To WWE PPV Matches

    For those keeping tabs on the Reddit user who has a flawless track-record of predicting the outcomes to matches on WWE pay-per-view events, here’s the latest on him.

    Apparently, the predictions posted on several websites, including this one, attributed to the Reddit user were not actually his picks. The infamous “Dolphins” did mention that he still has his source, but did not post anything on the forum-website.

    He did, however, mention that he set up an official Twitter account, and would be posting his predictions on that platform. The streak continued, as he correctly predicted the outcomes to all three of the matches he posted picks for. Those matches were the Brock Lesnar vs. CM Punk match, where he correctly picked Lesnar, the Alberto Del Rio vs. Christian match, where he correctly picked Del Rio and the Bray Wyatt vs. Kane match, where he correctly picked Wyatt.
