Cody Rhodes Talks About The Depth Of The AEW Roster
Cody started his professional wrestling career back in 2006 at the age of 20 only. His professional wrestling career started under WWE. The promotion had high hopes from the young professional wrestler. He was never presented as a main event star in WWE, but he was a solid card throughout his WWE career. He won the WWE Tag Team Championship a total of six times, and he also won the WWE Intercontinental Championship 2 times in total.
He stayed with WWE for a decade and he was quite famous in the promotion. But he was quite frustrated with the way the promotion was beating him resulting him asking for his release in 2016. He was granted his request and he was released from WWE in 2016.
After spending fun times on the independent circuit and other professional wrestling promotions, he came to the newly founded promotion that was currently the biggest Rival of WWE, the All Elite Wrestling. He is currently going quite strong in his new promotion.
Cody Rhodes who is also the current and three times AEW TNT Champion recently spoke to FITE in FOCUS where he talked about the depth of the AEW roster. He said that the roster had a lot of things to offer. He said;
“I know that I’m in the minority, in terms of what I like in wrestling. I like storytelling and interviews. I’ll use WrestleMania 3 as an example. I like Hogan vs. Andre. I also like Steamboat/Savage, but I still like Hogan vs. Andre more, and I love Steamboat vs. Savage, but I know there are wrestling fans, and there are people in management, who like the latter more, and that’s what I like about AEW.
“There really is something for everybody. You will hear all these other luminary wrestling figures tell you that you can’t do that/you’ve got to have one singular focus and I think that’s just BS. We don’t have one [one-dimensional] wrestler on the roster. It’s a very diverse palate. The table has a lot of different dishes on it and I think that’s really good for fans.”
