Cody Rhodes On His Relationship With WWE - Interview From May 2019
Cody Rhodes is a professional wrestler known for his time in WWE and All Elite Wrestling (AEW), where he was the inaugural and record 3-time AEW TNT Champion and also served as an Executive Vice President. He serves as a judge on the competition series Go-Big Show and stars with his wife Brandi Rhodes on the reality show Rhodes to the Top. Cody Rhodes sits down with Chris Van Vliet for this interview that was recorded on May 22, 2019 just three days before AEW's inaugural event, Double or Nothing. It's interesting to see how much has changed and perhaps what hasn't changed in the nearly 3 years since this interview first happened. During this conversation, Cody talks about a lot of topics for the first time like the fact that Dynamite would be a 2-hour show, how wins and losses will matter in AEW, whether or not they will have pyro, what the AEW World Championship would look like (because at this point it had not been revealed), his relationship with WWE, his opinion on being a heel and face and much more. It is fascinating to listen to this knowing what we know now. Let me know what you think of this!Quote to think about: "The greatest risk to man is not that he aims too high and misses, but that he aims too low and hits." - Michaelangelo.For more information about CVV and INSIGHT go to: https://podcast.chrisvanvliet.comIf you enjoyed this episode, could I ask you to please consider leaving a short review on Apple Podcast/iTunes?
