During a recent interview with Ariel Helwani for BT Sport, Cody Rhodes remembered feeling at rock bottom while playing the Stardust character in his previous WWE run. He said,
“There was a lot of rock bottom [playing Stardust]. Charlotte Flair brought a fan to a show. She told him, ‘Hey, do you wanna meet Stardust?’ and I was just not painted up or anything there earlier in the day in like my sweats. And he came up to me, he’s like, ‘You’re Stardust?’ I was like, ‘Yeah, yeah, and I used to wrestle as Cody Rhodes.’ And he was like, ‘What? Who? What do you mean?’ He had no idea that I’d won the Intercontinental title or won some tag titles or Legacy. Nothing. Stardust was his only knowledge of me, and that was a rock bottom moment.”
During the latest episode of his To Be The Man podcast, WWE Hall of Famer Ric Flair spoke about returning to WCW following WrestleMania IX in 1993 and how he regrets that move. Flair missed WrestleMania IX since he’d have a lesser role than the year before. The Nature Boy said,
“I would’ve been in a demoted role. Vince came up to me and said, ‘Watch your back.’ I almost wish I’d stayed because [WCW] was such a disaster when I got back.“
