AEW’s Cody Rhodes interacted with a bunch of fans on Twitter on Saturday. Cody was asked about why he doesn’t use Dusty’s bionic elbow during his matches, why the Stardust gimmick failed in WWE, and more. You can check out some highlights below:
On using the bionic elbow: “It’s not mine. I can’t be a tribute act. However, I do save it for the rare occasional moment when I really feel it in my bones/heart. Not sure if I can really pull it off even.”
On Vince McMahon giving him the Stardust gimmick: “I don’t really blame him more than I blame myself. I worked hard, but at the time…not hard enough. To go from undesirable to undeniable took a lot sacrifices, reality checks, & most importantly I had to do the damn work. I don’t want to be anything less than the guy at the top.”
@CodyRhodes any reason why you don’t use the bionic elbow? #AEW

Same reason why Stardust was such a bad idea… Hard to believe Vince – being a Jr himself – didn't get that.

10 years ago today, August 24, 2009, was #Raw. In the main event, @VinceMcMahon, @TripleH, and @ShawnMichaels defeated @RandyOrton, @CodyRhodes, and @TedDiBiase. This was Vince's 64th birthday! pic.twitter.com/3SMJEHGkPU
