Cody Rhodes: WWE Had A Partner That Did All Attitude Era Merch. I Was Kind Of Disgusted
After Pat McAfee kicked Cody Rhodes in the dick on the April 3 episode of WWE SmackDown, he grabbed the microphone and wished for the Attitude Era to make its return, burying the current state of the business.
Speaking to Cody Rhodes, Jimmy Traina of the SI Media podcast said McAfee cuts a good promo.
Cody questioned that.
“Does he? He’s standing there doing fart jokes and WrestleMania catchphrases, yelling ‘What?’ at a bunch of kids who don’t even remember ‘What?’ He’s talking about the Attitude Era. It was 30 years ago. I would’ve been ten. We got them. They had a great run. When he did that, I was mad. I won’t say who, but we had a partner with WWE who did merch for us and they did all Attitude Era merch. I remember going and being kind of disgusted. I’m speaking on behalf of my generation. I loved the Attitude Era, but we did all this work, WWE is on ESPN and Netflix. WrestleMania 39 broke records, WrestleMania 40 broke those records. At what point do you want to shine a little?”
McAfee believes Randy Orton, who was not part of the Attitude Era, will save the business at WrestleMania 42.
Rhodes will defend the Undisputed WWE Title against Orton at WrestleMania 42.
