Cody Rhodes Recalls His Low Pay While In Deep South Wrestling

Cody Rhodes sat down with Busted Open Radio’s Dave LaGreca for an interview to promote his upcoming Peacock documentary that premieres later this month. 

During it, he spoke about training at Deep South Wrestling, which was used as WWE’s developmental system from 2005-2007, and how Tommy Dreamer explained why he would be paid a low amount of money to do so. 

“It’s not talked about (in my new Peacock documentary) about how Tommy Dreamer took an email from me and said, ‘Yeah, come to practice at Deep South and we’ll talk’ and then explain to me why I was gonna get paid the lowest amount you could possibly be paid in the company because he didn’t want to show any favoritism but he was naturally showing favoritism by just giving me the job in the first place. Tommy’s a huge part of my journey and walking me out to the ring at ALL IN. I don’t credit Tommy enough, Al Snow enough, Joe Koff enough, Danny Davis enough. They’re huge parts of what I did. Massive, massive, massive parts. I can’t thank them enough.”
