Cody Rhodes
Cody Rhodes recently spoke with Justin Barrasso for Sports Illustrated Extra Mustard about wanting a chance to wrestle Tetsuya Naito at New Japan Pro Wrestling’s G1 In The USA event this summer, saying the following:
“I don’t even know if it is contrasts, or just that it’s chaotic and abstract, but Naito is somebody I want to wrestle. I kind of came in a little ignorant to his brilliance, and he’s one of those people who makes you know who he is right out of the gate, especially watching his tale with Tanahashi told right in front of me at Wrestle Kingdom. That’s one man in particular that I’d really like to stand across the ring from. He has that connection, that elusive connection. Some guys have it, some don’t, and he obviously really has it.”
