Cody Rhodes recently made an appearance on the well-known podcast “Busted Open Radio” to talk about a host of subjects. One of the most poignant subjects raised was why he found the documentary WrestleMania XL: Behind the Curtain a difficult viewing experience. Here’s what he had to say:
“They captured me at my most vulnerable. Some of the footage was originally intended for my personal documentary. A significant amount of it, however, made its way into their behind-the-scenes production. I think that Ben Houser did an outstanding job managing the four individuals involved. But to me, this documentary centers more around Triple H and The Rock, and the development of their relationship. I watched parts of it, enough to say, ‘I don’t want to revisit this past moment.’ I would rather not relive that walk back in Birmingham, bypassing the Gorilla just to reach my bus. It was because I couldn’t fake it anymore. That was not okay.”
As he further explained, “Being a wrestler and a professional, we maintain certain etiquettes like shaking hands, seeing each other in the eye, and moving forward. But they had captured me at a particularly low ebb, which made it all the harder to see it again. It was too personal in my opinion. Nevertheless, Ben Houser did an impressive job with the documentary.”
