On the latest edition of Busted Open Radio, Cody Rhodes discussed if Brodie Lee is spoofing Vince McMahon in his segments on AEW Dynamite.
Here is what he had to say:
“Very unlikely on AEW you’ll ever hear the name of Vince McMahon said, and if you do hear me say it in interviews and in general, I always speak very highly of Vince, because, well, A, he’s Vince McMahon, and B, I was a WWE guy to start, I didn’t come from anywhere else, I came up through their feeder system and they were the house that built me.
So when it comes to some of the parallels, I don’t want to be vague or coy with your question, when it comes to some of the parallels between Brodie’s style of leadership, there are a lot of unique parallels, but I don’t think it’s particularly a spoof on Vince McMahon, and maybe it’s because we’ll see how it develops in the next few weeks. I think Brodie just has a very, hmm, power boss, very animal kingdom, kind of social darwinism type approach to the Dark Order, and I think that falls in line with, perhaps, some of Vince’s quirks, but it is not an outright spoof on the legendary Mr. McMahon. Not outright.”
