WWE Hall of Famer Arn Anderson recently spoke on The Four Horsemen Network about a variety of professional wrestling topics including what Cody Rhodes has been able to accomplish:
“He bet on himself. When he left the first time from WWE, nobody including me thought it was a great idea because they were offering him a lot of money to stay, but he had a game plan and he knew what he had to do to execute it. He made the decision to move on and what a career he had on his own until he made his way back to WWE. I was one of the guys that I didn’t want him to leave AEW. I certainly encouraged him to stay because he was kind of in control of his own destiny. We had that conversation, but I also had this to come in right behind it. If whatever decision you make is for the good of your family, then it can’t be wrong.”
“If you’re building a roster, if you started from ground zero tomorrow, I’m going to build a company. Who do you want that’s marketable, that’s a tremendous performer, that’s somebody that you can depend on, that’s going to draw you money and going to sell merch and is just got to be a valuable guy to have in the locker room all the way around? That would be Cody.”
