Cody Rhodes says “we’ve just scratched the surface” with The Rock’s Final Boss character
While speaking on the ALL THE SMOKE podcast, WWE Champion Cody Rhodes said the following while talking about his “Mount Rushmore” of wrestling…
“My Mount Rushmore — I think a lot of it has to do with, so I was talking to my buddy who’s another wrestler this morning, and I was saying that your legacy a lot of times depends on your last chapter and not always your active chapter. Did you offer anything after you left?
So, I put my dad on Mount Rushmore because his final chapter in the business is hilarious. Half the NXT guys, including Roman and Seth, were under his tutelage. WarGames is still a show that we do to this day. The Rhodes name is still on in the business and currently has the game’s number one title. He just had an unreal ‘from the grave’ chapter — he threw another jumper from the grave, you know. So he’s on there Mount Rushmore-wise.
I think The Rock is on there Mount Rushmore-wise. He came back to a very tumultuous WWE a year or so ago and decided, ‘Nope, I’m not going to deal with that. I’m instead going to create a new character even though I’m already one of the greatest characters ever,’ that being The Final Boss. And we’ve just scratched the surface on The Final Boss — there’s something incredibly special there. So, The Rock is on my Mount Rushmore.
Again, final chapters that you still are. I would put Triple H on there because he’s put the entire WWE on his back.”
