Cody Rhodes Hopes To See WWE Bring Back Scoops Hotline

WWE Superstar Cody Rhodes hopes to see the promotion bring back their ‘scoops’ hotline, giving backstage secrets to those who get in touch.

During the 1990s, fans were able to ring up and get exclusive information, with some lucky fans getting the chance to speak to the wrestlers of the day.

On “After the Bell,” Rhodes spoke about a possible revival of the hotline with a 21st-century twist. He said,

“Here is what I would love to bring back, and maybe you guys know somebody who could do this. If I had any smidge of power, I would bring back the hotline. I would absolutely bring back the hotline. You can now do it as a text line, essentially, but there were real scoops, occasionally, on the hotline. Or, they were vague enough to where, if you were a fan, you knew. ‘Oh, he’s talking about Big Boss Man.’

“The hotline, I get it that it was a cash grab. ‘Pay X amount of money.’ I get that. Maybe we lessen that part to an extent. I would host the weekly hotline. I want to drop five things. Say I drop three things, one of them is real. You have to wade through it all. ‘See, you should be following the hotline.’”
