Everytime there’s an NXT show, people are like, ‘Oh, that’s the greatest thing I’ve ever seen.’ It’s the greatest show on Earth. One of things that they have going for them is the fact they make you wait. They build to it properly. That’s a good way to go at this. Cody Rhodes Read Quote
I really got struck by lightning when it came to my decision to leave WWE. If I literally think about that day and who I was then, it’s drastic. It almost happened overnight for me. Cody Rhodes Read Quote
You go real long in this business, and then you have these light-bulb moments. I just had this fleeting moment of fearlessness and a moment of trust in myself that I’m not going to listen to anyone. I’m going to do it how I want to do it. And how I want to do is what people are going to want to see and promoters want to pay for. Cody Rhodes Read Quote
I always looked at ‘All In’ with the perspective that it’s about the present and future of the industry and not really about cheap pops, even though I’m sure they’ll be plenty of those on the show. Cody Rhodes Read Quote
My mother stayed at home and raised me and my closest sister, and that meant that the American Dream and what he was doing on television as a character and behind the scenes as a producer was producing for us at home, so it is your life. Cody Rhodes Read Quote
At 15, I refereed my first match, and I was training at my dad’s school even prior to that, so the only thing that I was concerned about – I guess the only thing that made me reluctant and was the reason I was in L.A. and the reason I went to acting school – was I thought maybe I wasn’t big enough – physically big enough – to compete with WWE.

As far as Dustin or Dusty, neither of them contributed to me wanting to be in the industry as far as encouragement. They didn’t discourage it, but I think they both were indifferent as far as it had to be my decision. Cody Rhodes Read Quote
I think the yearning for a different product is really strong. WWE hasn’t had any significant change since, what, 2001 in wrestling? WWE provides so much good content. Just good, wholesome content, but they’re still the only one. Cody Rhodes Read Quote
I had one of the best matches of my career with Matt Cross, and I’d never met him before, until that day. Wrestling will always be in my heart. Cody Rhodes Read Quote
I think it’s really exciting for me to see Brandi branch out. Because when you look her up and see her pictures online and see that she was this bikini model, it doesn’t tell you that she’s got a degree from the University of Michigan or that she attended the master’s program and the University of Miami.
