Cody Rhodes Reacts To Young Wrestlers Not Recognizing Dusty Rhodes

During a recent appearance on the “2 Bears 1 Cave” podcast, Cody Rhodes stated that he can understand younger wrestlers not being familiar with his father since Dusty Rhodes' era was long ago.

Rhodes said, "Yes, and I have found not to get mad at them for not knowing what they don't know, right? It was a long time ago. We think of Macho Man (Randy Savage) and (Hulk) Hogan like it was yesterday, they're almost 30 years ago. It was almost 30 years ago… It's a very long time ago. You talked to me about the Von Erichs, okay, now 'The Iron Claw' is out. This is pre-Iron Claw. I don't get mad at them for not knowing, but the only way we learn how to do this pro wrestling thing is from those who did it on a money-drawing level. That's the only way. In the gorilla position, we have Michael Hayes, we have Paul Heyman, we have Triple H. There's a few others. They did it, so as long as those people know when they come up, to go to them. Don't come to me. I'm like, 'Go to them. They actually know the answers to your questions.' I feel like the knowledge gets passed on. It's concerning, though. You're like, 'Hey, we've got to keep this going. We're breaking all these records and doing all this unbelievable business.' It's concerning, but also, you can't get mad at them."

Rhodes is set to defend the Undisputed WWE Championship against Kevin Owens in a Ladder Match at the 2025 Royal Rumble pay-per-view event.

Rhodes also revealed his January schedule, which includes several RAW dates. Click hereto read more.
