During a Q&A session prior to Wednesday night’s AEW Dynamite broadcast, Cody Rhodes commented on the possibility of an AEW video game, his Mt. Rushmore of wrestling, and more. You can check out some highlights from the Q&A below:
On the AEW video game: “I’ll give an honest update: the AEW video game will be something all fans know about as we begin the process and as we move forward. If we were to make a very good game, which is our intention, it’s going to take time. Game development is arduous, it’s a very creative space, and we want to do it right. We will keep people updated, it won’t come as a surprise, we want them to take the journey with us. Be extra patient so we can deliver.”
On wrestlers’ use of social media: “The pros have to outweigh the cons. The DIY wrestlers that exist out there, they were born because of social media, and a portion of AEW exists because of social media. I don’t know if it’ll be as important in the future as it is now, but it’s still very important.”
On the best advice he got from Dusty Rhodes: “It was very simple: my dad spoke like a preacher on Sunday, so almost everything was advice or a pep talk. But the thing he hit me with that was my favorite: hit your finish.”
On who’s on his wrestling Mt. Rushmore: “Flair, Hogan Rock. Leave the fourth one as a vacant silhouette…because wrestling needs to make new stars.”
