Cody Rhodes On The WWE Roster Being ‘Older Than Ever’: I Just Like To Say It’s A Very Experienced Crew

Cody Rhodes discusses the WWE roster being ‘older than ever’.

While the WWE roster has several stars on their roster who are in their early to mid 20s, they also have their fair share of experienced talent also, with all four men in the world title matches at WrestleMania 42 being over the age of 40. For Rhodes, he likes to see it as an ‘experienced crew’.

While speaking to The Breakfast club in a new interview, Cody Rhodes was asked about the WWE roster being ‘older than ever’.

“Well, it goes in phases. So in like the golden 80s, it was, we used to joke, wrestler prime for the man was 35 to 42. That’s in the golden 80s, and that’s because they needed all that experience psychologically. They worked, they’d did this town to town, the live crowds are everything. How do you work with a live crowd? How do you involve them with this? We’re not doing this just for each other and we’re not doing this just for the camera. How are they involved? That now has cycled back because a few years ago they brought in, it was what I’d say is like all freshmen on a varsity team. There’s this famous picture of me and CM Punk and Matt Cardona and we’re all babies and we had won the big titles, but we didn’t have a clue really at that point. We didn’t have that experience. So now I think you’re getting back into where you’ve got, I know exactly who we’re talking about here. Roman, me, Punk, Randy, the main events of WrestleMania. I just like to say it’s a very experienced crew.”

Elsewhere in the same interview, Cody spoke about being cast in the upcoming Street Fighter movie. You can read more about that here.
