Cody Rhodes Calls Out Wrestlers Who Pretend Online Criticism Doesn’t Matter

TLDR

Cody Rhodes criticized fellow wrestlers who claim they don't pay attention to online criticism, stating on The Brandon Davis Show that "they're all right" and calling it unrealistic for performers to pretend social media voices don't exist. Rhodes explained that wrestlers should process criticism through the lens of their character and storytelling rather than taking it personally, comparing wrestling storytelling to writing a novel that can't change weekly based on reactions. He emphasized that while wrestlers shouldn't constantly change direction based on online feedback, completely ignoring criticism is "the worst move a wrestler can make."
