WLTX conducted an interview with Undisputed WWE Universal Champion Cody Rhodes prior to last night’s episode of Friday Night SmackDown in Columbia, South Carolina.
During the conversation, Cody was asked about which Superstar, whether from the past or the present, he would like to compete against in the ring.
Cody responded that he would choose WWE Hall of Famer Jake “The Snake” Roberts.
He said, “So I always, I change my answer so frequently and then people online, this is a polarizing subject. So I always say like the answer is going to change a lot. But I had recently started thinking the way I am as a wrestler and I guess a character and how I fit into WWE, I’d really like to get in there with Jake ‘The Snake’ Roberts Because Jake The Snake, when he was a bad guy, was really just like psychologically menacing and different. It wasn’t yelling. It wasn’t the like big bombastic 80s promos. He was really sinister, like ahead of his time.”
During a recent appearance on the “Insight” podcast, Karrion Kross talked about reviewing promos with his opponents before addressing possible insecurities.
Kross mentioned that he doesn’t intend to catch other wrestlers off guard.
He said, “Oh yeah. I’m not an ambush artist, I don’t like people who do that. If I ever have to deal with people who do that, I usually have to throw them down a flight stairs. Find the nearest staircase and somehow they make Logan Paul flip down the stairs. I don’t know how that happens. I’m not one of those people at all. your career we can highlight in this particular realm and bring to light.’ I think it’s very carny. If you’re secure with what you’re doing and you believe you’re worth it, you won’t try to ambush someone you’re working with.”
