Cody Rhodes And Conrad Thompson Talk Starrcast, How The Idea Was Pitched

Conrad Thompson and Cody Rhodes recently talked to Justin Barrasso of Sports Illustrated, where they discussed the Starrcast convention. You can check out a few highlights below:

Conrad on how he pitched the idea of Starrcast to Cody:

“I ran into Cody at the airport in Atlanta this past January when I was getting back from vacation and he was getting back from Wrestle Kingdom. I wasn’t sure it was him because he was sort of incognito, but I recognized Brandi. A few days went by, and he hit me with a DM saying, ‘Were you at international baggage claim?’ I told him I had an idea, and that’s when I started to pitch it.”

Cody Rhodes on Conrad as a promoter:

“Conrad is a fan and did not pretend to be a worker. He wanted to service the fans and be our partner, versus just piggyback. I sat with him in person, and anybody who brings me Johnnie Walker Blue is a ‘Nightmare’ family guy. I have a genuinely good feeling about his future as a promoter and business partner in my world.”
