Cody Rhodes Talks AEW, Growing Up in Pro Wrestling, Star Trek & More w/Rich Eisen | Full Interview

[@Ricflexer]

Very proud of Cody. Wwe didn’t want to work with him on ideas on his character etc. now look at executive of Aew complete creative control and a TNT deal (first match since 2001 on the network) etc. nothing but respect.

[@markabbazia2339]

Dusty is probably smiling ear to ear watching his baby boy do media for his own company

[@chrisbrooks2468]

@Francis York You understand what he's saying, calm down.

[@amazing50000]

Like father, like son, running a promotion.

[@michaelkillerrominesdragon5080]

Cody Rhodes I think Star Trek sucks I like Star Wars

[@michaelkillerrominesdragon5080]

And also like Stargate

[@popeye697]

@@michaelkillerrominesdragon5080 just because they both have Star in the name doesnt mean they should be compared. They are completely different genre. Besides as much as i love Star wars, trek has a better track record and greater longevity. Trek started a decade before and it never really went away. Its always been either on the big screen or tv. Looking foward to Mandalorian next month. Should be amazing

[@kenshigo3833]

It is so fun to watch him talk about Wrestling because you can see he LOVES this business. He could talk about Wrestling and Wrestlers 24/7 and i wish i would have the chance to talk with him about it once!

[@happydays9613]

So, so, so proud of Cody Rhodes, glad he got his own name back from WWE, and was not afraid like so many are from WWE to leave. Look at how well he has done for himself and his wife is equally ambitious. So happy for them both. Show them how it is done Cody. Making your own destiny not choosing to be in WWEs.

[@DazedN7]

I just noticed from this interview that he got his name. I'm so happy for him.

[@EmporerNero]

did not get his name back. still goes by "cody" in AEW.

[@chadk890]

You were saying?

[@rockstar696923]

What a GREAT interview & a terrific guy Cody seems to be! I'll now watch AEW - Good Luck Cody. Love his stories & candidness

[@sharkcity9291]

Dope! AEW, I’m here for it! Lets go!!! 🔥🔥🔥

[@swoosh94]

Cody is one of the nicest men I've met from the world of professional wrestling. I was lucky enough to get a photo with him just after he was announced as the latest bullet club member at the time and he was nothing short of a gentleman. It's from that that I'll fully support anything he does, on top of his in-ring talent and I'm so glad to see him getting this opportunity. Also - reality show?! Mate, you have BTE! That's as good as it gets!

[@bzerk4515]

Awesome hearing cody's OG stories

[@Benfiquistatube]

Man I don't care for wrestling much anymore but hopefully AEW does great because Cody deserves it

[@lovalaugh]

@the SUBMARINES really? I could have sworn it was "sports entertainment" no pro wrestlers, just "superstar's." Although the last superstar they created was John Cena and that was a long, long time ago.

[@ChrisWhite-vs6ud]

[@jaredgarcia8638]

@Francis York his business practices are less than ideal. There's a lot of controversy outside the ring than there is inside revolving the McMahons

[@tommy2chips]

I am a Star Trek fan. My grand parents, My parents, and me and my sister grew up on Star Trek. I use to go to conventions. But Anyway, I am going to be live at AEW in Washington D.C on October 2, 2019. I live in Baltimore, Maryland so I am real close to D.C I am excited for AEW. I am a life long wrestling fan

[@Frank-mk1ls]

HOW DO YOU FEEL ABOUT A MALE WOMANS CHAMP?

[@tommy2chips]

Frank Not for it. Men like Nyla Rose( yes I said man) should not be competing against women for women’s championship. Inter-gender matches ( men fighting women ) I can take them or leave them. However, when women compete against men in inter-gender matches they go back to their respective division. A man does not try to be the women’s champion and a woman does not try to be a men’s champion.

[@tommy2chips]

Hal Jordan Yes she did and it was so much controversy in the locker room ( look up Jeff Jarret vs. Chyna). Then common sense overcame silly and foolish logic. They now have a separate championships and divisions

[@tommy2chips]

Hal Jordan In TNA impact knockout division( women’s division ) had a tag team championship. Then they tagged ODB with Eric Young. They won the women’s tag team championship and killed that whole championship

[@geraldgreenfield5808]

[@wjohnson1161]

Just watched A&E onTNT and I loved it, especially in the beginning when Dustin and Cody were talking about how Cody wasn't being used right in the wwe with the writers! Dustin should have left wwe long before that with them taking such a talent and making gold dust out of it. I do know if A&E comes on the same time Raw or smack down does I'm all in with A&E. good luck to Cody, Kenny, the bucks and Jericho, you should do a triple or nothin and dedicate it to triple H, lol

[@wjohnson1161]

@Francis York in the early 80's wrestling in the NWA on super station tbs he was making a big name for himself until the 4 horseman were created and most of the attention went to them and then Crockets got out of it

[@ChrisWhite-vs6ud]

I thought it was a great show also. I just hate that the only good content WWE puts out(NXT) is on the same night. I will support AEW and watch NXT when I can. But Raw and SD can still be the drizzlin shits every-week because they have no competition.

[@bobbybloodfeastin308]

More AEW guys on the show. This was great.

[@beastfromthenorth]

I'm kind of pleasantly surprised with his interest in Star Trek. This dude is someone who knows and loves his business but also is just a genuine and real dude who's relatable and not afraid to just be himself. Not just a money-monger, lol.

[@jerryjanik480]

As a young wrestling fan like probably same age is Cody we traded tapes meaning we would take pay-per-views and we would trade tapes with our friends it was one of those crazy things back in the day best story I ever heard was that Cody Rhodes crying when Rey Mysterio's got injured by the NWO back in the day and his dad told them it was it wasn't a work it wasn't kayfabe greatest wrestling story I've ever heard in my entire life and now he's running a wrestling organization Cody's my hero and I think he's like older by like two or three years so just hold he's one of my favorite wrestlers

[@jgnmas]

@Francis York 4 shows. 2 main shows and 2 small shows. I guess it's all subjective. You either like their style or not. Me personally I enjoy their style of wrestling. It is hard hitting, fast paced wrestling. They create cool video packages that actually gets me hyped to see the matches. The "control room" segments are excellent. Luchasaurus is so fun to watch. MJF is also fun to watch. Kenny Omega is such a pleasure to watch. The Lucha Bros. Darby Allin, and I could go in and on. Some of the huys in the roster I didnt know, but so far I love them. Oh, and the tag division: Angelico and Evans Best Friends Lucha Bros Private Party Rhodes Brothers SCU Even LAX and Dark Order, who I dont care about, still add depth to the tag roster.

[@jgnmas]

@Francis York You cant compare anything in the main roster as far as pace and action with a Kenny Omega match. Even AJ who is top tier talent, they slow him down. I think youve just been watching the E for too long.

[@vedamonkar412]

@@jgnmas wwe caters to a worldwide fan base they have a certain style like wcw had a different style and Japanese have a different style.

@Francis York actually there's been shows for years now, but now some of it has come together within a company. You must be new to anything outside WWE. Do u ever shop anywhere besides walmart? dude ur a sheeple, an angry one too lol. Don't be one of those that wishes they tried something awesome 10 years down the line.

Good Luck with AEW Cody but Without Legends then the Green Boys only get to see who is the Best of the Indy's. You Need Legends for them to Rise to the Next Level. Ask Punk when he thought he was so Great in ROH then comes a Guy by the Name of Eddie Gurrero that Showed him he was Still a Buster. It was a Big Moment for Punk in his Development. Doesn't matter How old or Long you are or have been in the Business, Ask DDP who Virtually Became a Household Name OverNight because of his Matches with Savage which put him on the Map. Without Notable Names then You just have a Glorified Kiddie Pool of WTF are You and Why should I Care? You Need to Swim with Sharks if you want to make your Day at the Beach Story Interesting, Jericho Can't Rise All The No Names Alone.

That's ironic

[@nathanbauman1579]

Aew seems to be aiming for 100% male viewership. It stuns me how defensively these socially incapable, man nerds lick the boots of AEW. Anything critical and they come running in opposition like antifa to a free speech rally. I really have no dog in the race and wouldn't mind some more high end production in pro wrestling but I've come to want to see aew fail; simply to shut up their sniveling fan boys, who could not be more obnoxious.
