Cody Rhodes was recently a guest on the Art Of Wrestling Podcast hosted by Colt Cabana. During the interview he spoke on a wide variety of topics surrounding his career and life. One of the most interesting topics was about who he thinks should be promoted to WWE’s main roster.
Cody says that Tye Dillinger should have been called up a long time ago:
“Greatest human being alive. Still in developmental. He’s in developmental. I’m afraid of… all the time I want to tweet stuff about Tye Dillinger and I’m afraid if I do, someone will be like, because I’m not in the best graces with the office currently, I’m afraid someone will be like, because of my love of him. I’m not sure. He [has] never done anything to my knowledge. The mystery of Tye Dillinger. We were talking about this earlier off the record. We were talking about the Canadians. I don’t know if he kind of has a Canadian vibe and that makes somebody at the office… and ‘Canadian vibe’ does not connote anything negative. But if it makes someone in the office upset with him, whatever”
He says that his father, the ‘American Dream’ Dusty Rhodes questioned why Dillinger was still in developmental before he passed away:
“If a guy already had it, he didn’t spend a lot of time on them. Daniel Bryan is a great example. Barely kind of blew Dan off too. But in his reports, wrote, ‘this guy’s ready – what can I do? That’s the Tye Dillinger report from his fifth year in developmental. And, literally, that was what my dad always wrote about Tye, ‘what is he still doing here?'”
