Cody Rhodes says “every wrestler” checks social media after their segment to see what fans didn’t like
While speaking to Mostly Sports With Mark Titus and Brandon Walker, WWE star Cody Rhodes stated the following in regards to social media…
“Here’s what every wrestler does. Their segment airs. They go check their phone. Every wrestler does it. They see the things that people didn’t like. They don’t see the six that were like, ‘Oh, that was great. That was awesome.’ It’s like Yelp. I ain’t going on there to write a good review.
Never block because you just signed a digital autograph for them. Never block. Never acknowledge. You don’t have to. You don’t have to acknowledge.
Here’s the mistake people make. There’s no such thing as social media. That’s a lie. Social media is very real and people are real.
‘Oh, they’re bots.’ Not all of them. Sure, some of them are real. In the middle, though, is the truth. Is it a massive metric? Not as big as we think. But is it completely non-existent? No.
You do have to hear them every now and then. It’s super helpful for me. I know when I’m walking into a building that’s going to be giving me a ‘Let’s go, Cody/Cody sucks!’ I know when I’m going to be walking into a building that’s just great—they’re happy to have me—usually because of X and Instagram and all those places.”
