Cody Rhodes Reiterates His Support For Live Events, Says They Can Help Prevent Injuries
Cody Rhodes misses the live event circuit.
WWE has largely moved away from live events in recent years, which is seemingly a divisive topic amongst both wrestlers and fans. In the past, Cody Rhodes has advocated for the untelevised shows and how vital they can be to the success of a wrestler’s career.
On the latest episode of his What Do You Wanna Talk About, Rhodes continued on with his support of live events.
“I know it gets me in trouble with my peers and I don’t care, I miss them so much. I miss the live events for the rhythm of wrestling. I feel like it helped actually prevent injuries, I feel like it helped a general — not just the camaraderie but just being part of the team. If you’re only here once or twice a week, it doesn’t feel like — what team are you on versus no, this is our crew, we run Saturday and we run Sunday. I know it’s a different time and the way that the company works, it has its own difficulties and challenges today that are different but I miss it. It was those things like, hey, try this. Hey, did you hear that? Literally things that you could not put in a lab and replicate. Just a general excited fan. I miss it. Maybe it was a moment in time, I don’t know.”
Elsewhere in the interview, Undertaker spoke about his work in AAA and how he’s trying to bring more production value and storytelling to the promotion. Check out his full comments by clicking here.
