Cody Rhodes Says Rey Mysterio Changed His Whole Career

All Elite Wrestling Executive Vice President “The American Nightmare” Cody Rhodes recently spoke with Justin Barrasso of Sports Illustrated on a number of topics including revealing that he and fellow top AEW Star Chris Jericho both agree that there is nobody greater than Rey Mysterio.

This is what Cody Rhodes said:

“The one thing Chris Jericho and I can agree on is that there is nobody greater than Rey Mysterio.” “That’s someone that is really special.”

Cody Rhodes then said that there are people he gives a lot of credit for helping him build his career, including his father, Dusty Rhodes, his brother, Dustin Rhodes, Rey Mysterio, who changed his whole career, and Randy Orton, Big Show and Mysterio, who put a great deal of work into carving out his skills as a wrestler.

This is what Cody Rhodes said:

“There are people I give a lot of credit for helping me build my career, and they’re not always the obvious ones.” “Dusty and Dustin, of course they were involved, but they’re family. Rey Mysterio, I don’t even know if he remembers, but he changed my whole career.”

Rey, Randy Orton and Big Show are three people that put a great deal of work into carving out my skills as a wrestler. I didn’t know nearly as much as they did, and I still don’t. They were very important to me.”
