Paul Heyman, the legendary “Wiseman,” has been by Roman Reigns’ side for the past four years, and their partnership has been pure gold. Throughout his illustrious career, Heyman has been a game-changing figure in the realm of professional wrestling. With that said, current Universal Champion Cody Rhodes regrets not having the opportunity to be mentored by Heyman.
Heyman and Roman Reigns’ collaboration brought Tribal Chief to legendary status, contributing to the development of one of the greatest characters and storylines in the business. Seeing Roman achieve such phenomenal success while working with Heyman has raised the bar for everybody hoping to collaborate with the Wiseman.
After Cody Rhodes beat Roman Reigns in a historic WrestleMania match, he thought about how much he wanted to be in the spotlight and wished he could have had Heyman as an instructor. The American Nightmare recently expressed his dismay at not being a Paul Heyman Guy on the SI Media podcast podcast.
He said, “In another lifetime, I probably would have made the best Paul Heyman Guy. I probably could have been his absolute Ace. It just didn’t work out that way. It worked out that I was the adversary for his number one guy, Roman Reigns.”
During his epic feud with The Rock and Roman Reigns at WrestleMania, Cody Rhodes unquestionably possessed one of the finest performances of his career. Fans particularly enjoyed their intense exchanges, including a segment that featured some non-PG language. Rhodes recently emphasized its impact and thought about how it affected people.
Cody Rhodes guilty about his non-PG promo line
On the Raw episode on March 18th, Cody Rhodes gave a non-PG reply to heighten the anticipation for his feud with the Bloodline and The Rock. He boldly stated, “What happens, Rock, when the bell rings? Are you going to bring The Great One? Are you going to be the hero I had growing up? Are you going to have all that Big Dwayne Energy? Or is it just going to be LDS, little dick syndrome?!”
Rhodes discussed his sentiments of guilt about that “little d**k syndrome” promo in a recent conversation on the SI Media podcast. He said, “Fans in the arena loved it. There was a huge joy to this interview I did. However, for me, I felt a little guilty because I have a lot of young, young, young fans and I would never want them to ask their mom about ‘LDS’ or this or that.”
The Universal Champion also explained that he was worried about upsetting the family crowd he wanted to reach and hoped the line wouldn’t turn them off too much. Do you think the family audience took that LDS note seriously? Share your thoughts in the comments.
