WWE Hall of Famer “The Enforcer” Arn Anderson recently appeared on an episode of Busted Open Radio. He discussed several topics, including what fellow WWE Hall of Famer “The American Dream” Dusty Rhodes used to tell him about his son, Undisputed WWE Champion “The American Nightmare” Cody Rhodes.
Anderson said, “He told me when they first pulled him up and they put him with [Ted DiBiase Jr.] and stuff, Dusty would tell me — when I would see him, I’d look at him and I’d go, ‘He’s had him on a loop drain this week, he’s doing good and everything.’ He would look at me with no fear and go, ‘He’s got it. The kid’s got it.’ It wasn’t to elicit a positive response from me, he was just saying point blank he knew Cody had what it took to work on top in this business.”
On Cody Rhodes being a good student and a hard worker:
“In this business, you have to do a lot extra. You gotta be a harder worker, you gotta strive to be a better worker and if you’re a second-generation [wrestler] you’re gonna come in with baggage ’cause most guys will be thinking you got a free ride.”
