Cody Rhodes has been the talk of the wrestling world for weeks now and following his return he has quickly become one of the top stars on Monday Night Raw. During his previous run with the company Cody had some memorable moments, and his moonsault off the top of the cage is something that stood out.
The spot took place during a cage match in 2014 which saw The Rhodes Brothers face off against The New Age Outlaws, and during a recent episode of the Oh… You Didn’t Know? podcast WWE Hall of Famer “Road Dogg” Brian James explained why Dusty Rhodes wasn’t happy about the move.
“I told him I’m not going to catch you in a 69, I’m not going to catch you perfectly,” James said, regarding Cody’s moonsault spot during their match. “He said all ‘I need you to do is stick your arm out there,’ and I said I’ll do that. They cut to a different camera, it looked great but Dusty was pissed. When I went to NXT not long after that, he apologized to me.
“That’s the truth, Dusty said ‘hey man, that’s my baby boy,’ I said ‘Dusty, you don’t have to apologize to me, I totally understand.’ That’s what it is, I had no problem with Dusty wanting to protect his child and being interested in his child’s safety.”
