And then a huge announcement because the platform of Netflix just keeps expanding. But for people who don't know, Raw is going to Netflix on January 6th. And so far... Sports on the amount of things that they've done is pretty limited, but it's been a huge hit. It's fucking huge, man.
Chapter 3: What is the significance of WWE moving to Netflix?
So congrats. Live sports on Netflix and seeing Paul and Tyson and what they're doing at the NFL Christmas, it's the direction it seems like Netflix is going. I'm really excited that we've gotten in early on it all and what Raw looks like on Netflix will be very different from what it looks like currently and in a way similar as well, but I'm very excited.
And I was at the Paul Tyson fight, and if your guys could be anything like that, it'll be really electric.
What did you think of it?
Chapter 4: What was the experience like at the Paul Tyson fight?
It was a dog shit fucking fight. It was one of the worst things I've ever seen. We were fourth row, like, this is going to be fucking amazing. And that undercard was Serrano Taylor, the women.
Oh, such a good fight.
It was phenomenal. And that got us even more gassed up. We're like, oh shit, this is going to be fucking nuts. And then we got in there and watched a light sparring match.
um that was like what the fuck is this um it was crazy i know there was like all these conspiracy theories which is a natural thing that happens but one thing that i mean doesn't matter whether you're there you watch it is like it was clear that neither guy pressed that and like you know when you watch boxing you see people set things up with jabs and then a jab usually at some moment yeah
creates an opening where you attack. It's like the basic fundamentals of boxing. And you would watch that happen. You're like, ooh, like right here. And then by the fifth round, you're like, I think they're just going to hang out. Light sparring.
That's exactly what it looked like. My only moments with Mike Tyson, and I will treasure this moment always, he was a... Gosh, I think he was just ringside for a match of mine. He was presenting the championship after the match, but he saw other wrestlers backstage. And he seemed very, and I don't want to say out of it, because he was the sweetest, wonderful person.
It was very nice to talk to him, but he wasn't saying much. And he just kind of seemed to be... I guess deer in headlights a little bit. And he's watching all these guys oil up and they're using the bands and they're pumping up and all that. And he just looked at me and I'm getting ready to go out. I'm getting ready to go out. And at the time I was also in a management position.
So I'm directing something, some shot, something. He looked at me and just said, do I need oil? And, uh, I, um, those are those moments where it's like, It's Mike Tyson. I want this relationship to be good. So I'm in my mind thinking, what's he thinking? Does he think he does need the oil? Well, then I said, yeah, sure, sure. Oil up. And then so he took his shirt off.
So now Mike never had to have his shirt off for this. Mike's standing there just looking at me with his shirt off. And I remember he had no belt on his jeans, too. It's just a lot happening. This is the greatest fighter potentially ever and someone I really, really like. But he just took the bottle and kind of went like, You do it. To me.

Chapter 5: What are the challenges of self-promotion in wrestling?
He gives Shawn this unbelievable right hook at the end. It's just great stuff, but... He got inducted in the Hall of Fame, and I was sitting with my wife, and he started going on about my dad. And my dad had a very large black fan base, very large. And he was talking about how my dad was kind of the first black world champion, even though he was a white man from Austin, Texas and all this.
And he was kind of, you know, he's obviously ribbing on the square here, and he was talking about, like, blaxploitation and just making these jokes. These are jokes that, as a white person, I feel like... I can't have a reaction to these. I need to just, you know. But my wife is black. So she's sitting next to me. So they keep, every time he makes a joke, they kept shooting us.
And I was just like... You know, like every time he made a joke and they'd pop on us, I'm like, oh, man, please. Like, I would have been gone. I would have left this thing early. Like, gosh, yeah. Mike, man. Mike's the best. Yeah, he's incredible.
Your dad was the best. Your dad was the fucking best.
Well, you're from... We were talking about your Florida... I saw your dad wrestle at the Tampa Armory.
Oh, my gosh.
Fort Hesterly.
Yeah, it was... I mean, your dad was the... I still go back and watch...
promos your dad did like you like they're just so the promo era of those guys is the best promo era like it's i mean it was so much more important than the match to talk people into the venue to talk them to do that actually i i'm so excited to see him this morning because

Chapter 6: How did Cody Rhodes feel about his father's legacy?
Like, I need them to know right out of the gate, okay, this is who he is. This is what she does, whatever it may be.
And this is one of those cases where when the old timers and the producers and all the people we have backstage kind of are wise men who help put the show together, when they say something like, hey, there's a lot of new eyeballs out there, this will be one of those situations where it really is. Really, truly is. Really, truly is. And you have the chance to, you know, to hook them.
And there's such a carny element to how pro wrestling used to be in terms of like reeling in a mark for something to watch. Now the audience is so sophisticated, so changed, and you have new eyeballs who've never seen it. You can't just hook them. It can't be cheap. They have to actually see someone authentically that they like, and then hopefully they stay on board.
It was fascinating watching the, I was watching the Vince McMahon doc and the watching the history, like the evolution. And, you know, there was, I mean, there's a lot of aspects to it, but just the fact how I didn't, you know, cause I had no idea that it was, uh, everybody had territories and different markets.
Yeah.
Oh, yeah, and you didn't cross territories. And one of the things that they credit Vince with is being kind of brazen enough at one point to be like, fuck him. We're going to go do it in this guy's territory. And then everyone's like, what are you, like mob shit, basically.
So mob stuff genuinely. Yeah. This was your whole livelihood. My father, there's an individual in the wrestling space that I model. A lot of the character I have after today, most people don't know him. because it was pre-Cable, pre-even closed circuits, Eddie Graham, who was in charge of championship wrestling from Florida, who was my dad's mentor.
His son was Steve Graham? No, Mike Graham. Mike Graham. I went to high school with his daughter and his other son.
Yeah. So the Graham family, he was in charge of that Florida territory. Then there was Georgia. Then, of course, in Texas, there was world class. Yeah, there's Eddie Graham right there. Yeah, no, he was really ahead of his time. And one of the things that was special about Eddie Graham is he was really big on community activation. Like I mentioned, you have to be authentic.

Chapter 7: What is the story behind Cody's neck tattoo?
And I knew. What falls?
Your pec muscle. So there's no connection to your arm. So it's just hanging. So it just hangs.
I think I'm out of this bet. I think I'm out of this bet.
I can't do this. He has a bench bet. You're getting a 315, right? Yeah.
I did 295 twice yesterday.
Oh my gosh, you're right there.
I know, but I don't want my tit to hang.
But you should do, I mean, I've seen a number of pecked hairs. You should do a gradual warm-up that day. Oh, my gosh. Get yourself nice and warm for it. Don't just go over there.
I just want to just get out of it now.
