Arn Anderson On Why Cody Rhodes Was Booed On AEW Dynamite
AEW manager and wrestling legend Arn Anderson joined Busted Open Radio Friday to talk about his partnership with Cody Rhodes. Anderson was asked about the poor reception Rhodes received this past Wednesday on Dynamite for his match against Malakai Black. He offered up a theory as to why Rhodes was booed.
“I’m just speculating and I don’t pretend a mind reader, but I’m trying to get into the head of a wrestling fan,” Anderson said. “The most talented guy and the number one guy in Hollywood right now is The Rock. There’s no disputing that, I’m talking as an actor. John Cena was a guy that had always stood and was dedicating 100% of his time to the fans, to the company, to the business. I feel like when he started doing movies and he was no longer with WWE, I think fans, possibly, not putting words in their mouth, may feel a little afraid that they got their support behind these guys, and then they got red hot and took off to Hollywood.
“I don’t think that’s the case. They earned everything they got and I think they deserve a chance, certainly Rock and Cena, to pursue other things. I think that may be ‘okay, Cody’s going to get red hot. He’s going to do all these shows and he’s not going to be around any more.’ And I think they might feel a little bit, I don’t want to say betrayed, but slighted a little bit.”
The boos for Rhodes and a confrontation with the referee during the match have led to speculation about a possible Rhodes heel turn, something he himself has denied. Rhodes and Anderson also had a brief confrontation during the match, after Rhodes accidentally knocked Anderson off the ring apron.
As Anderson pointed out, Rhodes does have several Hollywood obligations in his future. The former two time TNT Champion is a judge on the game show The Go Big Show, which recently filmed its second season, and will star alongside his wife, Brandi Rhodes, in the new reality series Rhodes to the Top, premiering September 29 following AEW Dynamite.
UNITED WRESTLING NETWORK TO CROWN FIRST CHAMPION NEXT SATURDAY ON PRIMETIME LIVE RETURN PPV
The United Wrestling Network's Prime Time Live will return with a two hour live PPV broadcast on Saturday 10/2 on Fite.TV at 9:30 PM EST and will finally, finally, finally crown their first-ever champion when Chris Dickinson faces Mike Bennett.
Primetime Live ran as a weekly PPV series from September through December 2020 from Thunder Studios in California because COVID-19 concerns led to a pause on all production. The series featured a tournament to crown the first-ever UWN Champion, with Chris Dickinson and Mike Bennett going to the finals. The match was finally slated to take place at the debut Championship Wrestling from Atlanta taping, but the remnants of Hurricane Ida devastating the Northeast prevented Dickinson from making the taping. Now, with the constellations hopefully aligned, the match will finally take place.
The Commerce, CA taping at the Commerce Casino will be part of a Championship Wrestling from Hollywood TV taping. After two episodes of CWH are taped, they will go live on FITE.
Also announced for the taping:
*David Finlay vs. Will Alday.
*Gino Rivera vs Juicy Finau.
*Midnight Heat vs "Pretty" Peter Avalon & Ray Rosas aka "PPRay"
*Clark Connor, Karl Fredricks & Alex Coughlin vs Kevin Martinson, Rust Taylor & Daniel Garcia
*Ruby Raze vs Viva Van.
*Blake Troop makes his pro wrestling debut.
