Cody Rhodes Says The Attitude Era Pales In Comparison To Modern Wrestling

Ahead of the premiere of his highly anticipated documentary “American Nightmare: Becoming Cody Rhodes,” Fightful caught up with Rhodes for a brief chat.

Cody went on to discuss a wide range of topics and made a rather bold claim that is sure to polarize wrestling fans. During the interview, he shared his belief that while fans are entitled to their respective opinions, the modern landscape of professional wrestling is the new “golden era” from an objective bottom-line standpoint. He said,

“The reality of it is, not knocking, from an opinion base, but we’re at the most successful time in wrestling history. You’re in it and you’re covering it in your prime. Attitude Era, amazing. Opinions and all that, amazing, but from a factual bottom-line standpoint, tickets, and things if that nature, this is the new golden era, and we get to be in it. Everyone wants to be the one, ‘Oh, it’s because of me, and I’m leading the charge.’ Screw that. We’re in it. We get to all be part of it. It’s a team effort.”
