Cody Rhodes is big business.

And because of that, he is in high level discussions in WWE.

“The American Nightmare” recently appeared as a guest on The Dale Jr. Download podcast for an in-depth interview covering all things pro wrestling, during which he spoke about how the pro wrestling business is in the midst of a boom period.

“Thereโ€™s a ton of talent right now,” he said. “The business is legit booming, but I feel this run has exceeded my expectations in every way, just because Iโ€™m experiencing things that only my heroes ever got to experience.”

“Iโ€™m in on the high-level discussions. Iโ€™m hearing things that I always wanted to be. Again, I wanted to be the starting quarterback,” he continued. “Thatโ€™s what I wanted to be, and being in a position where youโ€™re real close to that, whereas I say Roman is the starting quarterback, he really is. But where youโ€™re right there and youโ€™re able to offer something so unique and so different. The run has really exceeded my expectations, so much so that I have the thought if it ends tomorrow, thank gosh I had it. Unbelievable.”

Rhodes added, โ€œI tell [the fans] every night, โ€˜I love you guys. Thank you.โ€™ I have just a different outlook and different perspective. Iโ€™m of the thought it will end tomorrow always, and itโ€™s slightly getting bigger and bigger.โ€
