Cody Rhodes was a guest on the latest episode of Busted Open Radio to promote āRhodes to the Topā and talk all things All Elite Wrestling:
āI was very trepidatious about doing a reality show. It is not my world. I have dug how everything has been presented, how authentic it has been, and the behind-the-scenes nature of AEW.ā
āI mean no disrespect to Shed media or our friends at Warner Media, but itās very annoying. The annoyance of it is a great complaint to have that these people want to document this company as it grows, and they want to document our family as it grows. It did get to the point where some of the reasons I think the show is real quality, is it got to the point where I said, āHey guys, Iāll wear this mic and you can follow me with that camera, but donāt stage anything. Donāt ask me to repeat something. Donāt ask me to frame something up. Just film. If you just film, youāll be very happy ultimately with what you get.ā
I think thatās a great complaint to have that they were very annoying. They were very persistent. They did their best. That crew learned a lot about wrestling. They got up close and personal with the build towards the PPV, the highs and lows to that build. Thatās annoying, and Iām ready to be annoyed again because it was fun seeing the show. My response in the wrestling community right now is very polarizing. Thereās a lot of boos. There are some cheers. It also depends a lot on the market youāre in, but when it comes to āRhodes to the Topā, Iām very excited and I know when itās on because everything on my phone is positive. People are enjoying the show. Itās a side of me that I didnāt think people would ever see, but now they are seeing it, and Iām all in on it.ā
