Cody Rhodes Thinks It’s ‘Asinine’ To Say That He’s Passed His Father In Wrestling

Internally, Cody enjoys the compliment.

NBA Champion Matt Barnes recorded a new episode of his ALL THE SMOKE podcast, and joining him was Undisputed WWE Champion Cody Rhodes.

As they were conversing, Rhodes recounted Paul Heyman stating that Cody passed his father, Dusty Rhodes, in wrestling. Cody feels it’s asinine to say that, but internally, he liked the compliment.

“Mr. Heyman, Paul Heyman, the other day had said that he thought I had passed — he had mentioned it in an interview — he thought I had passed my dad in terms of the wrestling game and to me, that’s asinine and I don’t believe so. But, as he was saying it, inside I was like, yeah. Yeah. You wanna get there.”

It has been 10 years since Dusty passed away.
