Channel 24 recently conducted an interview with WWE star Cody Rhodes, hyping the South African tour set to begin at the end of July, and the following are some highlights:
On Goldust: "Goldust is, you know, an interesting individual to begin with, but I can tell you that the things he has offered to my career are a lot on the physical side. He's a lot easier to steal little manoeuvres from than my father. So as far as how I compete as a wrestler in-between the ding-ding-ding, has a lot of influence from Goldust."
On Not Main Eventing in WWE: "For me, it's really one of those things as I am very young in the industry, and I can easily get frustrated with what is happening story-wise, but it's too much fun for me to concern myself with that stuff. I am able to go out, and lot of the times with Damian Sandown, and we're able to go out and get this riot reaction from our audience and for me, that's too much fun. I hope to be a huge part of the WWE future and I consider myself one of the flag-bearers for the next ten years, so I am sure I will have plenty of stories in the future."
Who is his wrestling hero: "Shawn Michaels. I kind of grew up past my dad's generation and I wasn't really able to see a lot of what he did and a lot of it isn't even on. So Shawn Michaels was the one that kept my attention as a young man watching. I always wanted to see him fight back, he was always fighting from underneath and it was very dramatic for a young man who is feeling the same way. He was always my hero."
Nick was born and raised in Detroit, Michigan, and lived there until the age of 18, when he decided to pack his flack jacket and move to New York City.
