And that would have meant saying no to a writer or correcting a few folks and maybe ruffling some feathers and stepping on some toes, but I can\u2019t think of anything more important for a wrestler than to go with his gut.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Specifically in backstage segments and in interviews, no matter what, if you\u2019re not feeling it, you can\u2019t say it. There was only a couple of incidents in my WWE career where what I said on the microphone was all me, and they were my most successful. It\u2019s not a knock on WWE creative at all, they\u2019re there to guide you and give you the bullet points of where it may be going, but they can\u2019t script it. You can\u2019t script wrestling.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Cody also spoke about being ROH Champion. &#8220;It feels good. It\u2019s a cliche, but it\u2019s good to be the champ. I wanted to be a world champion of some sorts since I got into the industry when I was 15-years-old, and I was able to do that. I\u2019m looking at the belt on the top of the bag across from me and it still hasn\u2019t fully hit me. There are multiple stages to all of this, but I know that every time I walk into a gym or go to a new locker room since I won the title, I\u2019ve felt like the world champion. My understanding of the world title and what it means is consistency.&#8221; Read the full interview at <a href=\"http:\/\/metro.co.uk\/2017\/08\/01\/roh-champion-cody-rhodes-talks-wwe-creative-okada-dave-meltzer-and-more-6821711\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Metro.co<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"><strong>Powell&#8217;s POV:<\/strong><\/span> Cody went into more detail in terms of what he felt like he could have done differently and how he feels he developed a reputation as a complainer when it came to creative. It&#8217;s a good interview with Cody, who also spoke about his NJPW run and explains why it wouldn&#8217;t be a good idea to pick a fight with Dave Meltzer if he&#8217;s in the building.<\/p>\n<div id=\"prowr-3542028205\" class=\"prowr-after-content prowr-entity-placement\"><a class=\"spreaker-player\" href=\"https:\/\/www.spreaker.com\/show\/pwboom\" data-resource=\"show_id=3275525\" data-theme=\"light\" data-playlist=\"show\" data-width=\"100%\" data-height=\"340px\">Listen to \"Pro Wrestling Boom Podcast\" on Spreaker.<\/a><script async src=\"https:\/\/widget.spreaker.com\/widgets.js\"><\/script><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>ROH Champion Cody (Rhodes) was&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":5,"featured_media":7661,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"episode_type":"","audio_file":"","podmotor_file_id":"","podmotor_episode_id":"","cover_image":"","cover_image_id":"","duration":"","filesize":"","filesize_raw":"","date_recorded":"","explicit":"","block":"","itunes_episode_number":"","itunes_title":"","itunes_season_number":"","itunes_episode_type":"","_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[6,4],"tags":[288,1241,706,210,63,101],"class_list":["post-27328","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-roh_news","category-wwe_news","tag-bullet-club","tag-cody","tag-cody-rhodes","tag-njpw","tag-roh","tag-wwe"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.3 -
