Former WWE Undisputed Champion Cody Rhodes looks back on his mustache phase.
In 2012, Cody Rhodes teamed up with Damian Sandow as Rhodes Scholars. This saw Rhodes sporting a mustache that quickly became popular among fans. In 2013, The Bella Twins later joined them in a feud with Tons of Funk and The Funkadactyls. However, their mixed tag match at WWE WrestleMania 29 was cut due to time limits.
Speaking on What Do You Wanna Talk About with Cody Rhodes, he spoke with Nikki Bella and reflected on his mustache era. “I’m so sorry you had to stand across from the period of time I had the mustache. And it was so just in person, it was different than how it looked on screen. In person, it was so little hair. And I had put Black Just for Men on it so that it stood out from a TV perspective, you know? That’s how, in the end, that’s why I had to cut it.”
“So, I didn’t have any skills on mustache trimming. So I didn’t know any. I just had a mustache from the three weeks I was away. It wasn’t much of one, so I would just… I took, like, clippers, and I above the lip didn’t really know. One time I just got a little tight, and it got in here where it was not a good look. And I was walking through the airport, and I knew, like, got to go. I can’t even sell work this has to go.”
Cody Rhodes says he’s surprised Brandi stuck through his Mustache era
“Now, today, face hair is a thing. Then it was still, like, it was in its infancy of its being reborn. Now everyone’s about their beard the beard, oil, things of that. I’m shocked when I look back, ’cause I remember Brandi we’d take pictures together and stuff.”
“I feel like I’m shocked she hung in. That’s a real wrestler thing like having absurd long hair or some gimmick, whatever it may be. And you’ve got to go through life, civilian life with that. No, that’s the things we do, though.”
