Cody Rhodes dreamt about WWE Hall of Famer Eddie Graham

In a recent interview on the podcast feed for SiriusXM’s “Busted Open Radio,” WWE Superstar Cody Rhodes expressed his deep appreciation for wrestling history and how it has shaped his perspective on the business.

Cody Rhodes has always been vocal about his respect for wrestling’s past, particularly with regard to his father, Dusty Rhodes, and wrestling in general. He even played a role in bringing back the classic Intercontinental title belt design in 2012, a beloved design that had been inactive for over a decade.

Cody Rhodes recently had a dream about Eddie Graham

Cody shared a dream he had where his father introduced him to legendary Florida promoter and WWE Hall of Famer Eddie Graham. He then pondered how promoters from the ’80s, such as Eddie Graham, Vince McMahon Sr., Bill Watts, and the Von Erichs, would view the present-day pro wrestling product. Cody believed that if these legendary promoters were to witness a modern event like Monday Night Raw or WrestleMania, they would likely love it. He emphasized that there is no one right way to do wrestling and that the interaction between fans and talent is a significant aspect of the modern product that these legendary promoters would appreciate:

“Eddie Graham, Vince McMahon Sr., Bill Watts, the Von Erichs: If you asked them today what they think, if you brought them to ‘Monday Night Raw,’ if you take them to WrestleMania, they’d love it. I don’t wanna put words in their mouth, you can’t do that, I can’t make that guarantee. I can be pretty close and say they’d love it. They’d love to see the interaction that takes place between a fan and a talent, a wrestler, a superstar. I think people forget that there’s no right way.”

During the interview, Cody discussed his love for every generation of wrestling and how he has learned from the past. He mentioned that in the past, he used to be easily influenced by the opinions of certain luminary figures who insisted that there was only one correct way to do things. However, he has since become more confident in the current generation’s approach and what works for them. This assurance has allowed him to embrace his own path without doubting himself.

Cody also talked about the influence of Arn Anderson on his career and how Arn’s ability to adapt to the times has played a significant role in his own success.
