It appears that Cody Rhodes is longing for the days of yesteryear of WWE.
On the latest episode of What Do You Wanna Talk About? with Cody Rhodes, the WWE Superstar spoke with The Undertaker about his desire for the company return to a more extensive live event schedule in the future.
“I’ve said it on this podcast, and I know it gets me in trouble with my peers — and I don’t care. I miss them so much,” Cody Rhodes said. “I miss the live events for the rhythm of wrestling. I feel like it helped actually prevent injuries. I feel like it helped a general just — not just the camaraderie, but the other thing is being part of the team.
“If you’re only here once or twice a week, it doesn’t feel like — what team are you on? Versus, ‘No, this is our crew. We run. We run Saturday. We run Sunday.’ And I know it’s a different time, and the way the company works, it has its own difficulties and challenges today that are different, but I miss it. And I miss, it was those things. Just, ‘Try this.’ ‘Hey, did you hear that?’ It’s literally things that you could not put in a lab and replicate. Just a general excited fan. I miss it.”
The Undertaker believes there’s a fine line between having some live events and not having any at all
The Undertaker, unsurprisingly, agreed with Rhodes’ assessment, believing WWE doesn’t need to return to the old grind, but they should be running live events consistently.
“I get trying to protect your talent, but I also agree with you that not working does maybe lead to — because iron sharpens iron sometimes,” The Undertaker said. “And again, I don’t think we need to grind like we did, but I don’t think you need not to do live events.” [H/T: WrestlingNews.co]
