Vince Russo was not a fan of Cody Rhodes’ promo on last week’s episode of WWE RAW.
The former WWE creative writer stated that fans are not interested in seeing wrestlers who show their emotions as Rhodes became emotional while discussing his late father, Dusty Rhodes.
Russo said, “Cody, get therapy, man. Every freaking week, this guy is going out, cutting promos, he can’t get through a promo without crying. Casual wrestling fans, we don’t want to see wrestlers cry, bro. We want to see men’s men, we want to see wrestlers, we want to see testosterone, bro. We don’t want to see namby-pamby crybabies. What, Cody? You’re going to give your mother a prop that you didn’t win? And you’re going to get all choked up about it? How anybody can be a fan of this guy as a babyface, bro, crying over a prop … Bro, he’s got himself convinced that he’s going to really win a match and have a real title and, ‘I’m gonna give this title to my mom and my dad, even though he’s not here, he is gonna be proud.’”
