My top 3 favourite wrestlers are Kenny Omega, CM Punk & Triple H. I get why he’s Codys favourite, triple H did tons for the industry and he was a badass BELIEVABLE pro wrestler who’s matches usually felt marquee. Plus The Game by Motorhead is probably the best theme song out there.

[@oznurielsbxx9793]

Orton, rollins, bryan, bret hart, chris benoit and triple h for me.

Pleasant thought but if he asked for that in AEW it would’ve been granted. Also, this is his passion he wouldn’t step away for long at all. We’re truly watching the business side of the wrestling business unfold before our very eyes in Cody’s transition from AEW to WWE and it’s remarkable

How? AEW is owned by a very very very rich family.... AEW may go out of business because like most non-wwe wrestling companies they fail to make a profit over the long term and just go out of business.

[@HeyJoe.]

I kind of find it odd. I watched a lot of wrestling up until I’d say 2010 or so. And it’s nothing against Cody but I guess the way he presents him self and when he got started plus his age don’t really match up. It’s like he’s almost getting ready to retire vs someone like Jericho where he was in full stride 10yrs in. The compared to the other wrestlers in (wwe) he’s just above average age (33). I know the comparing him to someone like Jericho isn’t fair but it’s just an example.

It actually makes perfect sense. Your biggest fan usually imitates you. Cody and Brandi imitated HHH and Stephanie McMahon. Cody took on an executive role like Hunter. And last but not least, he took a sledgehammer and smashed HHH's throne. Clearly, HHH is someone Cody inspires to be like.

[@miket2215]

Cody slamming the throne was a middle finger to WWE and what they represented. At the start of the revolution etc, he was passionate, direct and edgy. Nevermind heel or face, he was the character that he built. He's become lost and this interview sounds like it. WWE prepping.
