I've watched all things Cody Runnels related these last few months and I have to say that he's a really down to earth guy that only wants to better himself as much as possible. His talent is through the roof, his value of selfworth is through the roof and his love and passion for his wrestling and making people happy, is through the roof. I always loved his characters over the years, the Legacy Cody, Stardust, the smug Cody and now I absolutely adore the American Nightmare Cody is absolutely amazing. I look forward to seeing his character increase in popularity over the years and I hope he gets to lift that world championship, not only for him, but for Dusty too!
My favorite person from the current WWE roster is Cody Rhodes. I'm a new fan and got into it over the last 3 months. There is so much content and history it's overwhelming at times, but overall, Cody is the person I've had the most fun watching perform and give interviews.
thats cool what originally peaked your interest in order to start watching because most people grew up with this so its cool to see someone who comes in fresh
@@Wolf-jr8ez I saw some streamers watching clips of Stone Cold on UA-cam and started to binge clips of Stone Cold, The Rock, and John Cena on my own. A few weeks later, I was scrolling through Hulu and saw they had Raw and Smackdown. I've been watching it since. I always thought wrestling was cringe/trashy growing up. Man, was I wrong.
I've seen Cody since his debut 16 years ago. Been a fan since. His AEW run wasnt great mostly due to booking but he was trying to juggle being a performer and behind the scenes.
Great interview Sam! Excellent questions asked and Cody does a great job answering them. To me it’s so cool that you get to see the progression of his career by the interviews you have done with him. I don’t think AEW happens if Cody doesn’t do that interview with you. Or at least part of the reason why. The best part was the “What a pivot” when you asked Cody about Cardona lmfao
He's the most genuine guy in wrestling, and one of the few that can pull off a pure babyface gimmick and have the fans still be completely behind him. Hope he wins in Philly!
I was at WM 38 here in Dallas, 39 in Los Angeles and I’ll be in Philly for 40. So glad to be part of the Beginning, middle and possibly end of the Story for Cody!
I've been a fan since i was 12 back in 2000. Cody has been maybe my favorite since austin. I was so upset when he lost at mania. He does such a fantastic job at bringing the crowd in and making us feel like we are right there with him through every step. Hope more than anything at mania 40 he gets that title that he DESERVES.
I was so crushed when Cody Lost to Roman Reigns, I really thought he would be the one to end him n it would have been perfect considering his hard struggle climb upwards. think what makes Codys rise so good is that he has a legit long backstory of his fall n rise, his story is one of perseverance and he never stopped trying to climb up. He worked so hard n left WWE in hopes of growing n it paid off, it also helps that he has the looks of a babyface & someone respectable to rally behind through his personality n mentality. I think Codys return is something that represents the American values n dream well, the American belief is one that 1 can rise through hard work n that it would pay off one day, he is someone that fits the mold look of a Captain America basically n he packages himself so well in his ring attire, his choice of words when cutting promos, his upstanding personality.
Cody gets it. He's a pro's pro in and out of the ring and he deserves everything that's happened and what happens in the future which I believe and hope will be beating Roman at WrestleMania 40 💯
You really think Vince is going to make lose his pet project of the last 10 years lose to a guy that helped create a company that ended his monopoly over wrestling??? Lmao You are so naive and innocent 😅🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤪🤪🤪🤪🤪
@@lindelwemavimbela1115 hate?? Lmao i lterally said he lies and bs a lot Go watch an interview when he was in AEW, And the see the amount of lies he says Hes a "pro's pro in and out of the ring" yet he was the main guy taking shots at WWE back when he was in AEW
Nick and Matt Jackson are in the documentary, and they signed off on it. Cody says "How could they not be?", and he's absolutely right. It's still surprising that WWE was cool with it, but good on everybody.
Right?! I wish promotions were more open to having working agreements with each other. Just imagine a Wrestlemania Supercard with people from every major promotion in the world. Every major championship in the industry being prepresented at this one show, crosspromotional dream matches. It would be a liscense to print money, man.
@@ojmcclanahan689it would be nice but at the same time look at WWE business model the reason they don't work with any other company is because of business wwe is a publicly traded company they are not wrestling they are entertainment why am I gonna give free publicity to another company and making money off my business that's why Vince is God he knew how to turn WWE from regional wrestling promotion into a global entertainment enterprise
There’s something special about Roman. There’s no denying that. However, there’s something even MORE special about Cody. Cody can make you forget you’re watching fantasy. Cody makes you believe he’s really getting in there and fighting for everything. When he loses; you lose with him. When he wins, you win with him. He’s brought back the magic of pro wrestling; something so many of us thought was dead.
I don’t remember the specifics of when it happened, but I think one of the best parts of Cody is AEW run was the one time that he teased going back in the heel tunnel instead of going in the face tunnel I know that it’s literally just an allegory and those tunnels literally both go to the same place, but it was a wonderful metaphor for him to play with
As fans we just know so much more these days, and we don't want you guys to wreck your lives trying to be badass we want you to be healthy and as safe as you can be.
it’s much better now that we see the actual person behind the character and not just base our opinions on the character. it makes you appreciate the art and everything that goes into it much more
most of the hardcore fans dont care about wrestlers lives and their health. they might say they do but not really. the fact that a lot of guys have to destroy their bodies with the ridiculous amount of moves and bumps because hardcore fans want their 5 star matches, tells me they dont care about their bodies. at all.
I started watching when I was 10 in 2012 around the time the shield debuted all the way until 2018-2019. I decided to casually get back into wwe by watching wrestlemania 39, money in the bank, and summer slam. I still know many people on the roster and i’m loving all the new people as well especially LA knight. I went to this recent Monday night raw 08/07 and it was my first show. I honestly got emotional seeing so many people from my childhood like my long time fav Seth Rollins and Cody who was a mid carder for the longest time. Now look at him! It’s amazing to see him thrive.
Watching Cody in the run up to that wrestlemania is the thing that got me into the WWE as someone who knew nothing about it. The thing that killed me about that loss wasn't the loss itself, it's how absolutely perfect it would have been to finish the story and how obvious the transition would have been for Roman to the bloodline stuff they've been doing, a rejected champ overthrown by the crowd favorite and self-destructing on his warpath back to reclaim it. It just felt like such a missed opportunity when all the pieces were there, and honestly, the Lesnar feud feels so contrived by comparison it's hard to enjoy it even though they're both incredible performers. It's hard to get invested in when there's only a few months of build and it's all just based on "Brock betrayed Cody because he's Like That". But I dunno, I'm new to this. Maybe in a few months it'll go someplace I can start to get excited about again.
It's almost as if Cody being champion and Brock betraying him cuz he wants the title made TOO much sense for WWE writers. To your point, all the bloodline stuff going on now could still have happened without Roman still having the titles cuz honestly that storyline isn't even about the titles at this point. Plus let's say going into this SummerSlam it's Roman vs Jey with no title on the line. There's actually intrigue there that Jey might beat him, especially since he pinned him at Money in the Bank. But we all know he's not beating Roman for the title so now it's become predictable. But having Cody as champion and going over Brock in his first title feud would have been huge and could have set up the return feud with Roman to be even bigger.
i agree but brock betrayed Cody because Brock is not a face he normally doesn’t side with faces nor does he respect them the cody/brock feud was more of a brock thing like i’m the beast what are you gonna do about and you gotta think normally nobody does anything about it they run away cody didn’t he beat brock which made brock mad and made the feud continue the feud ended because Cody made brock respect him because he wouldn’t give up and he beat broke more than once brock had to respect it
I can relate to what Cody said about his attitude. I'm the first to tell my co-workers to get out of work if they are even a little bit sick. I'm like "TF you are doing here? Go home! You are sick!!" But when it comes to myself, I used to be like "one eye moves, get to work", until that one time I went to work with sore throat. Had just been sick for a week cuz of bad case of larygnitis i think it was. Then i went back and was working as an assistant teacher with sixth graders. A place where you NEED your voice. Went there, had to shout, my voice broke. Since then, whenever i get even a small flu, my voice goes away. Completely. And even when healthy, if i talk for a long time, my voice breaks. Like Brock lesnar, is suddenly sound like puberty teen with voice going bonkers. I haven't gotten it checked, but I'm pretty sure that one time I damaged my vocal cords permanently. So if you are sick, rest. Don't be a hero, cuz if you try to be, you are just gonna be an idiot
My Linda Lie is that my great great aunt was one of the lullaby league munchkins in the Wizard of Oz 1933 film. What I leave out is that she was my great great step aunt. But the legend is more fun to trot out at the occasional party. That was a great interview. Cody is a decent dude.
He's also the epitamy of what apparently vince meant by grabbing the brass ring, other people have done that too and been ignored by Cody is one the few that has done it and in the way I guess vince wanted
Returning fan here. Cody didn’t catch my eye back in 2012 when Punk was white hot. Now? Since his WWE return after building up AEW? He’s “the guy” now. He’s not just Dusty’s son who has to fill his dad’s shoes. He’s the product of a lifetime of hard times and work. I’m definitely a fan and can’t wait to see him raise the belt. His mania match this past year was amazing and emotional.
I was actually loving the delusional babyface phase he was in before leaving. The way he teased it, "accidentally" going from the heel tunnel, his promos, etc.. I thought that character had a lot of potential.
"People were legittt, furious" I wasn't furious, but when I saw his shoulders get pinned to the mat. 1,2,3. My jaw just dropped, and I was like wwe, what the fuck, why would youuuu fumble this soo hard, I was just in complete in utter shock, I was so upset, 😂, I was like why did we not pull the trigger on cody rhodes, n part of me still worries that like what if he isn't as white hot as he was then, idk I still kinda feel like that was a huge mistake, to be honest, but then again, what they're doing now w roman and jey, and like this match, wouldn't be as big, (roman v jey at summer slam), this wouldn't be the same, causeee the tribal chiefs character, a huge part of that is the title, the title belts, that he walks around with, but like then again, I really don't know, I'm still conflicted about it till this day, I liked the fact that the match result wasn't spoiled on the internet like most are nowadays, cause going into it, it was soooo 50/50, fans thought cody was gonna win, this was gonna be his moment n others thought roman would retain, I was on the cody side, like idk I really feeeeel like, he should've won tbh
Cody’s outfit,his coat and pants are seriously cool as hell to the point of being better than many Superheroes costumes in print,movies and TV shows now and in the past especially his recent Wrestlemania gear..if he turned heal his gear could easily reflect that by going dark,complete absence of colour to say the light has left me and my character and now it’s about making everyone pay.
Cody rhodes must be very happy and surprise to be back already in the wwe and enter in number 30 in royal rumble and then finally wins this year royal rumble too also as well so proud of the American Nightmare and one of the best ever too so still much love to Cody rhodes and don't ever change !! ❤🙂😉😍
A honestly think Cody has grew so much in the 6 year that a wldnt be surprised if they priming him to be the face of company for next 5-10 year then a writer or something high hunter sees himself in him n a HST look at Cody n Seth n can see WWE is in good hands really good
People loved the AEW character, was just played slightly too meta and the crowd was also slightly confused. Was so close to working for me tho, was for sure a great idea the “dark superhero”
They finally got Sting for a Wrestlemania match and they had HHH go over. This company will never change, they’ve always made awful booking decisions when it matters most and they always will.
Oh Im so glad he confirmed the whole meta heel turn in aew, I used to say that's what he was doing but no one agreed xD straight from the American horses mouth
Anyone who's been lifting weights for a while has had to flip a bar off of their chest at some point. It's weird, because it's so avoidable, but it even happens to experienced lifters.
They told this man to his face for weeks that he’s an embarrassment and his father didn’t think he was good enough and that he’s a failure, and then they actually had him lose.
Cody shouldve been the winner between cody vs roman. Theres no reason that he didn't deserve that win and to be the one to strip roman. I'll never understand WWE creative.
Drew McIntyre - proof that jobbers that get fired can become main even champions after returning to WWE Cody - proof that you can leave WWE to become bigger and return a top star
So, I'd love, when contracts allow, to see Arn come back to WWE & get back in Cody's corner... And Brock would have a good spot, probably, in NXT. Perhaps tag him back up with Pillman. Go all out bringing a new Horsemen generation, like we got teased with at the Ric Flair show...
Cody is such a pro. The way he carries himself, well spoken, very articulate. Treats the business with so much respect👏🏼
Hard to believe he started with such a lisp that you could not understand his promo's.
Ya hes classy, no scandals or trouble. Def good for the company.
@@thesportsguy126 absolutely 👏🏼👏🏼
well his father is thee dusty rhodes

fans dislike that
You are so down to earth and passionate about your interviews and your career. Well deserved.

Cody rhodes must be very happy and surprise to be back already in the wwe and enter in number 30 in royal rumble and then finally wins this year royal rumble too also as well so proud of the American Nightmare and one of the best ever too so still much love to Cody rhodes and don't ever change !! ❤🙂😉😍
I once saw Cody Rhodes, Matt Cardona, Ricochet and Chelsea green at hhn was sooo cool
Bro you need to change you're thumbnails , i think if you do them like implushive that will help you gain views..etc , Awsome Interview !
Cody still has the arm brace ??? 😭. Bro is dedicated
Cody needs a new move called Georgia Earthquake.
Jesus, is this Dusty Rhodes son? I haven't watched wrestling in years. Dusty was such a great talker. I loved when he was on.
Cody saw the BTE footage leaving his doc and said, WHERE DO YOU THINK YOU"RE GOING?
A honestly think Cody has grew so much in the 6 year that a wldnt be surprised if they priming him to be the face of company for next 5-10 year then a writer or something high hunter sees himself in him n a HST look at Cody n Seth n can see WWE is in good hands really good
People loved the AEW character, was just played slightly too meta and the crowd was also slightly confused. Was so close to working for me tho, was for sure a great idea the “dark superhero”
I understood it, but couldn't get my friends to understand.
Legend in the Rhodes
That main event hurt me fr 😭
How did the Jackson’s get into the documentary but Dustin wasn’t in it other than a brief shot of Goldust?
Sam, you gotta work on the audio or prepare your guests in a way they know to use a mic
I think he has it covered after this interview.
I really hope Cody wins the title at the main event by WM42. 2023 has been the most legendary year for him.
Cody should have Won at Wrestlemania...P.E.R.I.O.D
THE ONLY ONE who can represent WWE PROPERLY and can defend the UNIVERSAL CHAMPIONSHIP the way Gunther is defending the IC TITLE... ALWAYS AWESOME!
Cody Rhodes is an inspiration ❤
Such an awesome dude
What is this backdrop? Did no one think to tidy the place up a little bit
trust me, this was us tidying it up haha
Cody is the consummate professional. Definitely the face of wwe post roman era
I think Cody will be the one to bring wwe & aew together. AEW VS WWE #ForbiddenDoor
I hope Cody talks about the Angry Dad walk he has been doing 😂😂😂
Cody selling the broken arm during the interview. Mad respect
They finally got Sting for a Wrestlemania match and they had HHH go over. This company will never change, they’ve always made awful booking decisions when it matters most and they always will.
Oh Im so glad he confirmed the whole meta heel turn in aew, I used to say that's what he was doing but no one agreed xD straight from the American horses mouth
The audio levels really need to be normalized between you two. Good interview though.
I think he has it covered after this interview.
I would love to see Sam and CVV interview each other
Cody is a cool human being talking about tearing his pec. Trying to show off. A real human reaction
Make no bones about it. Cena and then Roman's overpush afterwards killed baby faces for a long time.
They still made successful careers out of it so keep crying here crybaby
lmao, Cena was over with the crowd even in his last days with WWE.
Y'all need a boom mic!
Make Cody the Champ
Anyone who's been lifting weights for a while has had to flip a bar off of their chest at some point. It's weird, because it's so avoidable, but it even happens to experienced lifters.
Cody ernd his right to be where he today.
Who is he referring to that he didn’t like before Curt Hawkins?
I’m calling it: Cody with the title win at Mania 40.
They told this man to his face for weeks that he’s an embarrassment and his father didn’t think he was good enough and that he’s a failure, and then they actually had him lose.
36:42 vince
Fucking Cody is funny 😂
Cody shouldve been the winner between cody vs roman. Theres no reason that he didn't deserve that win and to be the one to strip roman. I'll never understand WWE creative.
Drew McIntyre - proof that jobbers that get fired can become main even champions after returning to WWE
Cody - proof that you can leave WWE to become bigger and return a top star
What that an earthquake? lmao a minor one! 😂😂😂
So, I'd love, when contracts allow, to see Arn come back to WWE & get back in Cody's corner... And Brock would have a good spot, probably, in NXT. Perhaps tag him back up with Pillman. Go all out bringing a new Horsemen generation, like we got teased with at the Ric Flair show...
I f**k with cody he truly respects the buisness and represents it well
I'm hoping Cody will main event WM40
