Cody Rhodes Reveals Matt Cardona Once Refused to Associate With Him On-Screen

– During a recent interview with Good Karma Wrestling, WWE Superstar Cody Rhodes discussed the success of his friend Matt Cardona on the indie wrestling scene Below are some highlights (via WrestlingInc.com):

Cody Rhodes on Matt Cardona’s success outside WWE: “I’m really proud of him, he’s out there doing the indie guy thing with the Indiana Jones hats. Matt has been king of the indies now, this is going on year two, you usually only get one run in that role, he’s going on year two.”

On how Cardona said in a meeting that he didn’t want to associate with Cody on-screen: “I have this story about Matt which I’m going to tell eventually about watching his first meeting with a certain member of management somewhere and how he tanked this meeting. Right in front of me. And the one big line he hit in the meeting, that I’ll never forget. This is one of my real-life friends. He said, ‘I just want to make it clear; I’m never putting on a Nightmare Family jacket or associating myself with him on-screen.’ I got you the meeting, [then you throw me] under the bus right away.”
