At last Friday’s WWE SmackDown TV tapings at Madison Square Garden in New York City, Cody Rhodes paid tribute to his late father, WWE Hall of Famer Dusty Rhodes.
Speaking on a recent edition of the “Pivot” podcast, the reigning WWE Undisputed Champion opined on the emotional tribute and fulfilling a childhood goal at Madison Square Garden.
You can check out some highlights from the podcast below:
On fulfilling a childhood goal at Madison Square Garden: “Truthfully at eight years old that was my goal, my goal was to do what I did last night and you know I wish he had been alive for it … I often get emotional on the microphone, there’s a good chunk of wrestling fans, that is not what they are tuning in for.”
On the love he received from fans in MSG: “They are not into this dude up there crying all the time, they are not but that was one of those ones and I was happy that we did it for the MSG crowd … he loved the Garden and the Garden was really good to Dusty and they didn’t have to be.”
