Cody Rhodes Plans to Gain Weight Once He’s Done Wrestling
– During the latest edition of What Do You Wanna Talk About?, WWE Undisputed Champion Cody Rhodes stated that when he was done wrestling, he wants to gain 75 to 100 pounds, noting how hard he’s had to work and maintain his physique since he was 14 years old. Below are some highlights (via Fightful):
Cody Rhodes on wanting to relax and gain weight when he’s in his 60s: “I’m trying to warn everybody, when this is done, I’d like to at least put on 75 to 100 pounds. Anything that’s even like [my] jawline, I want it gone. I’ve done this since I was 14. I’ve been working out since I was 14, which, you shouldn’t start working out when you’re 14, but like, redneck parents and my dad and everything… I don’t know, a Tommy Bahama shirt, khaki shorts, red, sunburned, kind of consistently. I don’t know what that look is, but that’s my ideal [look for when I’m in my] 60s.”
On being able to still do his moves after gaining weight: “Guys, I don’t want it edited that I want to gain that much weight because I want to put it out in the universe. So, I’m complimenting myself, but if there’s a Legends SmackDown ten years from now, they’re like, ‘Bro, don’t put him out there.’ I want to be able to still do the moves. That would be great because a lot of the bigger dudes can go. Adrian Adonis was like 400 pounds at one point in his career, and he was moving like a cruiserweight actually.”
