Diamond Dallas Page Says He Can’t Think Of A Better Person To Represent WWE Than Cody Rhodes
Diamond Dallas Page once again speaks about his good friend, Cody Rhodes.
The Hall of Famer and former WCW world champion chatted with Sportskeeda’s Bill Apter about the American Nightmare’s second Royal Rumble win, and how he believes that no one else in the world could represent the WWE the way Cody can, especially in light of the “dark cloud” that currently hover over the company due to the Vince McMahon allegations.
I don’t think, because we all know there’s been a little adversity, there’s a little dark cloud right now. I don’t know what happened there, I wasn’t there. I don’t know. But I’ll tell you what I do know. When you have anything like that happen, who are you looking at now to represent the company? I don’t think there’s a better person that can represent the company. Family values, work ethic is insane, all of his belts say ‘do the work.’ That’s what that they say on them. If doesn’t say ‘American Nightmare’, somewhere he’s written on it ‘Do The Work.’ It’s all about that. He wrestled with a torn pec and went 20 minutes with one of the greatest wrestlers ever, Seth Rollins, and made it through and came back from that injury. To get this spot, I can’t think of a better person in their company that I’d want to see. Taking nothing away from Roman Reigns because he has proved to be a demigod, and he really has. I watched him from The Shield on. He actually did DDP Yoga when he was playing for Georgia Tech, so that’s the first time I ever met Roman because I was working with the team. But this guy, he’s a demigod. He’s in the same vein of Hogan now and of course Austin and The Rock, all of it. But I just can’t see a better person, especially at this time, to represent the WWE.
In a separate interview, Page called Cody Rhodes a future Hall of Famer, stating that his back-to-back Royal Rumble wins have only ever been duplicated by legends. You can read about that here.
