AEW superstar and Executive VP Cody Rhodes held a Q&A on his Twitter earlier today to talk all things pro-wrestling. Highlights can be found below.
On why fans constantly compare AEW to other products from the past:
It’s new. It’s unknown. Its also very aggressive in delivery and it’s marketing.
I think the late 90s’ template for the current situation is the only reference people have sometimes, but respectfully that ecosystem doesn’t fit ours.
This is very new territory & it’s fan made. https://t.co/sSngDOQ3wg

His thoughts on Sky Italia in Italy picking up Dynamite:
Groundbreaking! Continued brand growth is exciting, but this one really puts the movement into perspective.
I also love wrestling in Italy and I personally hope we can service that market at some point in the coming years. https://t.co/2m4aGhGoaZ

Who he thinks the scariest wrestlers of all-time are:
Vader probably…
The agility combined with such overwhelming power.
Lance has that special big-man quickness too. https://t.co/9IY47xpsYx

How he’s preparing for his TNT title defense against Warhorse:
Feverishly – like always
He’s got a groundswell of support and buzz, that usually comes for good reason. Is he on my level? I don’t think so. But I am not taking him lightly. I want to hold this belt until I retire.
1-time champ. #dothework https://t.co/MfuOiOIeSC
