Dustin Rhodes on Cody’s WrestleMania spot, Charlie Dempsey in All Japan note
– Dustin Rhodes (via Sports Illustrated) on his brother Cody Rhodes potentially losing Wrestlemania 40 spot to The Rock:
“I hope Cody’s in the main event spot against Roman. Or it’s going to be The Rock. If it is The Rock, I’m pissed…this is Cody’s time. He is becoming the face of the company, and it’s paying off.
But I get it. If it is The Rock, it’s still good business. I understand that there are a lot of people who love seeing The Rock. But I still think it’s Cody’s moment.”
– The deal to bring Charlie Dempsey into All Japan Pro Wrestling was facilitated by former NJPW President Simon Inoki, with WWE approaching Inoki to make the move happen.
I think Cody is the best choice to beat Roman, but Roman still has several matches for him to do before he should lose this reign. I think it’s too early for it to be at this Mania. Especially with so few Roman matches per year.
And honestly if Dustin could be back in WWE, having him screw Cody out of a possible win would be a pretty good story and feud to further push Cody’s ire for when that moment actually does happen.
