We may have to agree to disagree on this one, ive read your posts when people get into arguments with you *joke*
Cody wanted to break into the industry on his own merit, he didn't want to be there on the strength of who his father was....so he spent time researching the industry and all those who went before him and their gimmicks etc so he would have a better understanding of how to be your own 'character' if he made it into the big time (eg - WWE).
Back in the late 70's, early 8-'s - a lot of wrestlers didn't wear knee pads/elbow pads as it just wasn't really thought of back then....obviously, safety and welfare etc has come a long way now - but Cody has a lot of respect for those that built the industry up and his not wearing knee pads is his way of paying homage to that - incidentally, occasionally he'll only wear one elbow pad also....
This ^^^^ is hard to come across - the interview of the explaination I mean - it's become so forefront in everyone's mind now like - 'why doesn't he wear knee pads?' - that I guess, he gets tired of explaining lol...
I don't argue Lewis...I debate - the fact that people can't handle some of my responses or think I'm too harsh is not my fault lol...I'm a nice girl really
