During a recent appearance on “The Pat McAfee Show” podcast, Cody Rhodes commented on finishing his story at WrestleMania 40 this weekend and why he’s ready to go to the ‘end zone’. He said,
“There’s that saying when you enter any sports, entertainment, ‘Hey, act like you’ve been there before.’ I haven’t and that’s the whole point of getting there and getting it done, because I want to know for the first time what that feels like. The story about Dusty Rhodes in 1978 and holding that title — I have that title with me. Holding that title and it being taken away because of how he won the match, that’s all very much what we talk about when we talk about finishing the story. Instead of it ending, instead of the story being finished … We start a whole new damn story Monday night after WrestleMania.“
In a recent appearance on “The Will Cain Show,” The Rock commented on his full training camp for Saturday night’s WrestleMania 40 (Night One) main event. He said,
“The training has kicked my a** for weeks now. I went into a full training camp for about six [weeks], this is my final week. Obviously, we have WrestleMania in a day or two and the training camp has been tough, there is nothing that you can do to prepare your body to be suplexed and slammed and thrown around in that ring, nothing. You know I’m no spring chicken; I’m a summer rooster, I’m no spring chicken, so I’ve had some great guys who have been helping me throughout my training camp. So it’s a combination of will, of training hard, getting my cardio right, getting my oxygen right, I have to control my breathing in this match. We could go — without giving too much away — we could go an hour.“
