Cody Rhodes On Leaving AEW For WWE, Meeting With Vince, WrestleMania 39 Loss To Roman Reigns

[@BDE]

Loved this video. Felt more like a conversation than an interview

[@ChrisVanVliet]

Thanks my friend! Just trying to keep up with you 🚀

[@getbn6547]

@@ChrisVanVliet Are their any wrestlers that you'd actually consider a friend? Or is it more of a business interview thing?

[@ChrisVanVliet]

@@getbn6547 Quite a few! And as Cody pointed out here, I stayed at DDP's the night before this interview

[@mohammedumarfarhan9900]

​@@ChrisVanVliet my friend your an absolute genius. I showed ur interview of the Undertaker to my uncle and he was all praise for you.

[@GraveMemories]

Cody seems like he is really locked in at all times The fact he stays so calm is amazing

[@OnlySplits7Ten]

Bro is just a business man. He’s light years ahead of this game.

[@JustMNY]

4 years into the making... one of the greatest and most charismatic man to ever do it... chris van vliet.. oh and ofc cody rhodes.

[@emiliomarbanjr]

You aint lying. Chris is great, probably one of the best interviewers out there.

[@johnconstantine2518]

I listen to the Podcasts while gaming however I also come on KZbin and like the videos to show support. CVV is honestly such a wonderful interviewer, he let's them talk and it honestly feels more like hanging out than an interview, such an amazing dude. Especially when he has wrestlers on the Podcast

[@ChrisVanVliet]

Thanks John!

[@johnconstantine2518]

@ChrisVanVliet A pleasure as always, thanks for always taking the time to read out comments before every episode as well as being insightful and asking at the end of each show 3 things we're greateful for, it's really inspirational and motivational

[@bilmeister88]

Another great interview Chris. Met Cody briefly when WWE was in Manchester got to tell him really enjoyed his dads documentary and he should be proud of it. He seemed genuinely touched seems a great guy.

[@Isuckatvideogames210]

“Doesn’t look like we’re heading towards friendship” WELL LOOKY HERE 😂

[@DemonAngels7]

Thanks for the great interview. I met Cody Rhodes a couple years before he went back to WWE. He was an awesome guy. Thank you for the awesome interview you rock.

[@mickh4256]

He's dead on with Seth. I saw him at a live event last year, and the dude is an absolute master at working the crowd.

[@robot-hive2022]

Chris is becoming and I i think within a year will become the go-to interviewer for pro-wrestlers. There is no one better right now, professional, asks the difficult questions and doesn't let the guest stray too far off topic without actually answering the question. Good work Chris!

[@acgregg759]

Who is currently better?

[@robot-hive2022]

@@acgregg759 never said anyone was currently better because I think Chris is the best but it takes time for that to take effect. He currently is not the first person wrestlers give interviews to but like I said if you can read I think that will happen over the next year

[@Taima]

@@acgregg759 I won't make a call on whether he's better, but Ariel Helwani is that really big go-to guy who's really good imo. I'd be happy with both of them getting to roll in all the interviews they want.

[@austinhernandez2716]

If only news "journalists" were like this

[@alonelypotato2788]

​@@robot-hive2022what i notice was the difference between Chris and other interviewer...the wrestler seems more comfortable witu Chris...they treated Chris like the8r friends..most of the interview look more like a conversation between 2 friends...plus Chris ask interesting, intelligent question...Chris listen never interrupting....You can see Chris doing this because he genuinely love the sport you can see the passion in him never treated like it is his job like he chasing content chasing likes chasing subs he does this because he love it(atleast that what i saw)

[@rezsurfer2808]

CVV is probably only one i can watch thru the entire interviews. You're always getting the best and how you hold it down is great.

[@noahbrennan5849]

Can’t wait!!! Chris always has the best interview’s

[@penaldogaynaldo835]

I accidentally found your channel and now I love it❤

[@ChrisVanVliet]

That's awesome!

[@allthingsheard]

Great interview, Chris! Anyone else notice the cheeky cut at 15:46 when he asked if there was a version of Wrestlemania 39 where Cody would walk out as champ?👀

[@theviperrko7535]

I really appreciate your work, Chris! Keep it up 👍

[@ChrisVanVliet]

I appreciate you!

[@elder4481]

Cody is genuine and hardworking, it’s going to be so great when he finally gets the title

[@maryal-kethairi467]

Hopefully he will win art Wrestlemania 40.Wwe better do the right thing and make it happen

[@maryal-kethairi467]

Congrats on being a father Chris

[@TD1021-]

Good stuff Chris. You're by far the best interviewer. You have a great skill that alot fail to have and thats asking well thought out questions and most importantly not interrupting and getting the guest so comfortable talking that it seems at times like 2 friends just hanging out talking instead of an interview. We all support you and are here for you man, keep up the great work!

[@Bruv234]

Cody is correct when talking about Chris and his journey. It seems like a lot of things happened around 2016-17. It’s cool to see all the progress for everyone. Chris,Cody, WWE and AEW. 👍🏽

[@SpeedTwister96]

Another great interview! I always love the atmosphere in your videos. #1 guy when it comes to wrestling interviews in my opinion!

[@dashkanishka]

CVV, the epitome of positivity interviews CR. Well, that combo is fire. Thank you both!!

[@NottyGurlStyle]

I love Cody! I’m glad he got fed up enough to leave and do his own thing and be very successful with AEW. I think he had to do this or else Vince would NEVER allow him to express himself the way he wanted. He proved himself very valuable and if he’s coming back it will be on his terms and I’m so glad for it. Great interview as always!!

[@James_A85]

This was just absolutely fantastic interview thank you so much Chris 👏👏👏

[@TJKerrell]

Cody’s shoutout to Billy running the VIP Superstar Experience was very nice, got to meet Billy and be a part of the VIP for a live show last month and it was incredible, Billy deserves all the flowers!

[@mattyice4878]

Can you tell me what that was like?

[@TJKerrell]

@@mattyice4878 so roughly 2 hours before the show begins, they corralled us into the stadium earlier than general admission so we could shop at the merch table and then we were take to the aisle. They let us line up on the entrance ramp and take a picture on the steps of the ring using a replica title belt. Then, they took us to a media room where we were handed gift bags that included an autograph book. Then, they one by one brought in 3 different superstars. In my case, it was Rick Boogs, Shotzi, and Bobby Lashley. They were all incredibly genuine and awesome. Then, we got let into our ringside seats for a close-up view of the show, and after the main event concluded Billy came over to give us our souvenir VIP chair.

[@Sasuke-md6or]

This will be the interview ever 🩸🩸🩸🩸🩸

[@Sasuke-md6or]

Be the best

[@Rearnold1987]

Amazing work as always. CVV always delivers.

[@Mr.MutantPNW]

I feel like Chris is legitimately a good person. I enjoy watching his interviews. you can tell he definitely gets excited to interview these guys

[@BadGuySwerve117]

I like the guy to hes not ur average mid interviewer that asks the same questions others have already asked or so and so if theres no hard questions or that he gets the inside scoop on stuff we dont know or he will sit there and have a good conversation like a nornal human being while other interviewers are rude and disrespectful and just want want want want

[@sreal1]

Can’t get enough Cody. So proud of my boy. And to hear him speak about his 3 things of gratefulness is so wholesome. You can tell a lot about a man by the way he speaks about his family number 1 and his dogs!! Cody is a real ☝🏽 and I’ll always be rooting for him.

[@ogsteezus5583]

The intro to this video… was Cody foreshadowing? Him and Seth are definite friends right now 😂

[@coolkidbradude7745]

[@McWigan]

Commenting early but Cody's right at the start, watching CVV's wrestling interviews the past couple years to pass the time and suddenly you're popping up with the celebs and giving (imo) really good interviews! Glad to see someone I've enjoyed watching doing so well!

[@ChrisVanVliet]

Thanks man!

[@udsmusic_official]

Great interview, Chris! Looking forwaed to your other interviews. ❤

[@hiimdusty9575]

Cody is a selfless entertainer. Hands down deserves that Title. Thanks for being you Cody. Thanks for the interview Chris!

[@4cuttime]

I agree 💯🔥🔥

[@perceivedvelocity9914]

IMO some guys are better when they are hunting for the title. They lose something when they hold the championship.

[@ChrisbeFoSerious]

@@perceivedvelocity9914you’re not wrong, but it comes down to the creative team having a SOLID long term plan for someone after they achieve their goal. A star can only do so much without a great storyline and adequate ring partners.

[@dustinfocus]

CHris, these are great. Thank you for opening up at the end. For more Cody work, Would you show up to Cody's wrestling camps? I'd like to see him in that element, too.

[@HareKrishna10388]

Wow really great interview! Love your show! I never miss it. It's like eternity when that one week waiting when you upload your videos.

[@DheroBob]

Really awesome interview! Keep up the good work, CVV!

[@simone21939]

15:53 Cody talking about “long road” etc kinda looks like a spoiler for next WM. In Italy we say “Pulcinella’s secret” when something is a secret even if everybody know about it, Cody vs Roman part 2 is a Pulcinella’s secret but it almost looks like the plan for him to win is already set in stone somehow

[@zakkmylde1712]

If they do indeed headline Mania next year there is almost no way that he won't walk out champion. It's gonna be in Philadelphia and it would be the perfect stage for a Rocky 2 moment.

[@simone21939]

@zakkmylde1712 I know, that is the ending everybody wants but at the same time the way he says that it looks like they already have it set up. This way we only wait for A to go to B, everybody already knew it was going to happen but that sentence looked like a confirmation

[@leviking564]

made me wait days for a 24 minute interview?! worth it

[@lukethecardist]

What a way to start the day! Amazing job as always, CVV!

[@shahankokeawan]

Incredible interview as well

[@dimitrisxairetakis2612]

Hey man, I don’t know if you see these comments, but imma shoot my shot. I got into wrestling fairly recently (mid20s), mostly because of storytelling etc. I love exploring new media. You are one of the most skilled “interviewers” I’ve ever seen across any field. The way you structure them, the way you purposefully ask certain things in a certain way to turn them into instagram reels, really methodical. I respect your craft a lot. You could honestly do a little masterclass on your methods and preparation, but also “in-ring” psychology. Kudos again, keep up the excellent work!

[@jasonmaclean719]

There is no doubt how proud Dusty would be of his boys and how well they've done in the business. What a legacy for this family.

[@Mula510]

Another Great Interview Chris 👏🏽

[@ChrisVanVliet]

Much appreciated!

[@absolute_misery]

I hate that this interview was so short but great interview nevertheless

[@trustnoone3007]

Welll....WWE wrestlers kind of can't stay to talk long or be interviewed long enough which tends to happen. This Cody interview on the other hand was a respectable time run and good enough.

Chris Your Killing It!!! Keep It Up!! We Need A Seth, Fin & Roman Interview In Near Future!! Sky’s The Limit Brotha!!

[@DeanMoxley87]

9:54 the reason took so long to catch on was because the Brits hadn't heard it live, Like most WWE shows after Mania or in the UK the fans sing to theme songs, boo the guys they should cheer, cheer the guys they should boo, WWE owes alot to British and European fans. They go to Football games weekly and the UK football chants are amazing

[@BINKRAY]

Good interview Chris Denker

[@CoffeeStain-Music]

@17:45 I hope the younger talent are open to this because there's a balance to be found between working too little and working too much. I think that's also the reason why every so often you see a rash of injuries run through AEW because the body just isn't used to resting for a week or longer and then going out and trying to have a 5-star level match on TV or PPV. You need reps.

[@AnswerisB]

It's one thing to have a 5-star match and another to have a superfluous spotfest. Prime example: Hijo del Vikingo

[@V1LL1N]
