Pro wrestling veteran Kevin Sullivan made an appearance on his Taskmaster podcast to talk about a number of topics including if Cody Rhodes had won at WrestleMania 39, then he would have received a huge backlash from the fans and the pro wrestling industry.
Sullivan said, “I think that if Cody had won, he would have got a backlash. People saying, ‘Oh, he just comes in and wins the belt while these guys have been here for years, busting their asses night after night, night after night?’ He needs to win the belt, but he needs to do what his father did if he’s playing his father’s story. His father put the heels over first, dumped all the heat, all the adversity. Then he beat Brock with a broken arm. I think they’re doing it perfectly. Now, I think if they’re going to WrestleMania 40, it’s time. You can’t give the people what they want [right away]. You’ve got to make them salivate for it.”
Kevin Sullivan also talked about how Cody Rhodes will eventually dethrone Roman Reigns and how Reigns’ next step is Hollywood.
Sullivan said, “I think that when he does [defeat Roman], then they have all four Samoans sitting right there.There’s all kinds of heels. Gunther, they have a stacked group of guys. I think this is the best talent they’ve had since the Attitude Era. I also think the next step for Roman is Hollywood.”
