A WWE legend has spoken highly of Cody Rhodes and CM Punk.
Cody Rhodes and CM Punk are two of the biggest stars on the WWE roster. While Rhodes is set to defend his Undisputed Title against Drew McIntyre at Saturday Night’s Main Event, Punk is looking to reclaim the World Heavyweight Championship when he faces Jey Uso this weekend.
As fans look forward to this weekend’s events, a WWE legend has shared his thoughts on the two stars. Barry Darsow (aka Smash of Demolition) recently recalled his experience visiting the WWE Hall of Fame and interacting with CM Punk and Cody Rhodes during an interview with The A2theK Wrestling Show.
“Two years ago, we were invited to the Hall of Fame and WrestleMania. And we already had our schedule all fixed so we couldn’t go,” he said. “Then Vince left and Triple H came in. And when they asked us to go to the Hall of Fame to see it. We right away said yeah for sure, because Triple H was in there, and The Undertaker had a lot to do with it, so we were pretty excited to go there.
“When we got there, we didn’t know what to think because we haven’t really talked to anybody for 20 years. We get there, and we get off the elevator, and we get into a room where everybody is at; Triple H and his wife, Linda McMahon, (Nick) Khan, all the top guys are filming the pre-show before the Hall of Fame.
“The first person who greets us, I shouldn’t say the first one, but Stone Cold Steve Austin. Brother Love, Bruce Prichard, he sat and talked to us for about 15 minutes; he really set the tone and made us comfortable. Then right away, CM Punk comes over. I was never a CM Punk fan or anything, but after I sat and talked to him, he was a gentleman, he was incredible, and it was like wow, what a man he is.”
Smash on Cody Rhodes
“Cody’s a really nice guy, I met him when my son was wrestling down in Florida Championship Wrestling, I met him down there. What a gentleman, came right up and introduced himself.
“Nice guy, hell of a worker, and he can talk. When you see him on TV he doesn’t look as big as he is in real life, he’s kind of a tall guy, and he should be in the position he’s in, because he’s good.
“He’s a hell of a worker and definitely needs to be where he’s at. I’d love to wrestle him, I mean I couldn’t now but I would have loved to in my day. Might as well wrestle all of them.” [H/T: WrestleTalk]
