Cody Rhodes All In

Busted Open Radio recently interviewed WWE Hall of Famer Jim Ross after the All In event, and he discussed what’s next for Cody Rhodes and The Young Bucks. Below are some highlights (transcript via WrestlingInc.com).

Jim Ross on why he thinks Cody Rhodes and The Young Bucks won’t be at the G1 Supercard in MSG: “No, I don’t think so. I don’t have anything concrete to base that on other than my gut instinct. My gut instinct is no. There’s too many big, big dollars that are possible to obtain. Cody has to start a family, probably will some day. Money is big in this delicate business. Bubba, you’re a [expletive] tank. You don’t get hurt, but everybody ain’t like you. Some of these guys can’t even tie their shoes nowadays and they need to save their money. So I’m hoping these kids will learn from some of their peers and predecessors. Hey I can have my run and sell a bunch of T-shirts, but the bottom line is I gotta have a bunch of money in the bank.”

JR on if he thinks Vince McMahon would treat Cody Rhodes differently if he returned to WWE: “I don’t have any answer for that. That’s a very good question, but I’m saying there may be other players in the game that we are not aware of at the moment that may end up making it a very interesting picture in 2019.”

Jim Ross on what could be next for Cody Rhodes and the Bucks: “Could happen. But you still gotta have two things: talent and television to make it work, and a lot of work and lot of capital. But I think there’s room in the marketplace for a television show on a major network, not an ABC type, but a cable network. If you do it right and you go back to the basic principles of wrestling with young talents. You got a chance.”
