It is no secret that Cody Rhodes was one of the main people responsible for the birth of All Elite Wrestling. Recently, he opened up about ‘revolutionizing’ the industry.
The American Nightmare was recently interviewed by CBS Sports‘ Shakiel Mahjouri. During the interview, Cody Rhodes shared that if he and his friends, Kenny Omega, Matt, and Nick Jackson didn’t do what they did, he would not be in the position he is currently in.
“I think as I grow old, I’ll probably wax poetic and grow even fonder of the things I was able to be part of, the people I was able to team with… When we were a group, the Bullet Club, The Elite. The idea was ‘Change the World’. And we really did actually change at least our world. And it’s like you said, it’s so healthy now. I think all of us are very careful to talk about it because nobody wants it to look like, ‘They’re saying, ‘Hey it was all me.’’ But the reality is, I can name… It’s about eight people and if one of them wasn’t there, it wouldn’t have happened.
“An alternative wouldn’t exist. It wouldn’t have springboarded me into this position I am in now. None of it would have happened. It was all these factors. And the biggest factor being the fans themselves. So I just hope people remember it. Selfishly… I joke about this with Matt and Nick all the time. Selfishly you want more people to remember it was something that we did. But I’m just happy to see an industry that I grew up watching through the good times and the bad times is now as popular as it ever was. And I appreciate you saying that,” Cody Rhodes said.
Will Rhodes return to AEW?
