“Me and Cody Rhodes — best friends. Sometimes we go out and do caviar tastings We do wine tasting, as well. Tremendous guy. I always enjoyed flying out to visit him. Quite frankly — and he’ll admit it, too — I kind of remind him of a younger him. Somebody who is so immensely talented at a young age. Someone who just gets it, just like Cody did. If you look back at those original years of Cody’s career, he was well beyond where he should have been in his age range. why wouldn’t he be? He’s the son of one of the greatest professional wrestlers In the history of the industry; Dusty Rhodes. As far as the perception of me being booked on All In. Why wouldn’t I be on the biggest show in the history of professional wrestling?”
