Cody Rhodes: ‘Dusty Told Me To Leave WWE Four Years Ago!’, & More

Cody Rhodes has revealed that his late father Dusty told him to leave WWE four years ago. Rhodes spoke with Wrestledelphia Radio for a new interview and was asked whether Dusty would have supported his decision to leave WWE.

“I know he would have supported it because he told me to ask for my release after WrestleMania 28,” Cody said. “I waited until WrestleMania 32 to take his advice. At 28, I recalled particularly, he was unhappy with the direction things were going with me and Big Show, and he just thought that I was so close to the keys to the kingdom, and they were slipping away, that maybe leaving would wake them to the idea that this is somebody who wanted to captain your ship and the way you guys are treating him has pushed him out. But it seemed at the time like kind of a leopard’s play, so it just didn’t interest me. I wanted to stick it out, and I always tried to not take Pop’s advice, because he’s my dad, so the advice always came from that part of his heart, not the businessman part of his mind, but his heart, and actually at the end of my WWE career, he was right that I should have made that decision maybe a little sooner.”

Cody also discussed his wife’s support of his decision, how Goldust took the news and more.
