10 Things We Learned From Cody Rhodes On Stone Cold’s Broken Skull Sessions Podcast

10. “Not A Lot Of People Are Over”

Firstly, Cody doesn't think a lot of workers in wrestling today are over.

Austin leaned forwards in his seat when Rhodes dropped this thought. Explaining, Cody added: "I think a lot of people, myself included, are trying". Being over means something different to him though, and he defo thinks, 'He/she is so over' is an overused term.

"To me, over is a level of business that the mid-80s and the late-90s had". Rhodes, clearly attacking things with an old-school mindset, grew up the son of a top guy. Dusty was very-much over, so it must be hard for Cody to make peace with today's attitudes, especially when wrestlers confuse what being over actually is.

Rhodes used Austin vs. The Rock at WrestleMania X-Seven as an example of two workers who sold out huge venues on the strengths of their character work and star power alone. That, to him, is what being over truly represents.
