Bully Ray Didn’t Buy Into Cody Rhodes Interview Segment On WWE Smackdown

Bully Ray wasn’t a fan of the Cody Rhodes sit-down interview segment on last week’s WWE Smackdown, calling it “polished and soulless.” Rhodes was interviewed by Michael Cole on last Friday’s show in which he addressed his feud with Randy Orton. Rhodes talked about how he was unable to pull the trigger against Orton at Sunday Night’s Main Event and vowed that it wouldn’t be the same the next time they faced off.

Bully was critical of the segment on Busted Open Radio, stating that he didn’t feel it and wanted to see Rhodes show some more real emotion instead of being so composed. You can see the highlights below (per Wrestling Inc):

On Rhodes’ Interview Segment:

“What we just heard, to me, everything about it was polished and soulless. There was nothing believable about it. I did not buy into it. I did not feel it. Nothing made me go, ‘Yeah, good!’ I’m going into this with complete benefit of the doubt, but when I see the perfect lighting, when I see the cufflinks perfect, when I see the fold in the tie perfect, when I see the chain on the tie perfect, and when I see the way the cuff comes up above his ankle and the socks and the shoes. Please give me something that ruins your appearance a little bit.”

On What He Wanted To See From Rhodes:

“If Cody would have gotten upset, if he would have actually came out of himself for a minute and took it out on Michael. ‘What the hell, Michael. What’s going on around here? I’ve done this and I’ve done this.’ If he would have undid his tie a little bit like, ‘Come on, Michael, give me some answers. What am I doing wrong? What am I not seeing?’ If he would have got up and then maybe sat back down and been like, ‘Dude, I’m sorry, but I’m heated over this.’ If there would have been some more passion, some more piss and vinegar, some more salt, some more life than sitting there cool, calm, and collected… I wanted to see him being a human being that was questioning what the hell was going on.”
