The current WWE champion, Cody Rhodesremember A conversation he had with Rey Mysterio that was a before and after in his career as superstar wwe. Both fighters shared the quadrilateral 80 times so far, including when the two left at the time the company, and “the American nightmare” recalls when they had a hand in hand in Wrestlemania 27 of which he himself came out victorious.
► Rey Mysterio changed Cody Rhodes's career
«I have always wanted to break expectations about what professional wrestling can be or how people believe it is. That's why I always wore a suit, there were many reasons behind. I want people to think differently, to see the range we can have and that they may not know. In each company there is a style, and you have to work hard to find your place, to learn how to express your language and tell your story.
In wrestling there are fighters who can achieve it in 6, 8 or 15 minutes of combat, and others that need 40 minutes or up to more than an hour. I feel that sometimes that is not valued enough.
I remember a moment that changed my career: I was in Oklahoma, I spent in front of the president's office and Rey Mysterio stopped me to tell me 'I want to fight with you in Wrestlemania, let's talk to him in the office'. I was prepared, I even had my idea written in my backpack. When I left that room, my career was different. It wasn't just an opportunity, it was a true breakdown. I will always think of king like someone without whom he might have nothing.
Before returning to WWE, I think I found some people to whom I could give a little push, like Ricky Starks, but I never want to take away merit, because the success is them. They open the door, but it is they who enter. I like to take young people with me, to accompany me, because when you are in a room with Michael Hayes, Paul Heyman or Triple H, you always learn something.
I don't know if I have given someone the full pass to say 'That is my boy, I helped him'. Maybe I'm still selfish and I want to eat as much as I can. But one of my favorite memories is to see my father in the Hall of Fame, when someone whom he had given his first chance came to stage. Before they talked, he gave me a elbow and then they mentioned it. He had the account and enjoyed that. I think many of the seeds he planted, especially in NXT, have grown after his death in forms that we didn't even imagine ».
