Cody Rhodes Shoots On WWE NXT Talent
In response to Dave Meltzer speculating that WWE could try to sign wrestlers scheduled to appear at September 1st’s All In show, organiser Cody Rhodes joked about independent wrestlers going to NXT:
“That’s a possibility. Everybody has different goals. If your goal is to take a meet/greet style handshake photo, and pretend to be excited about going back to wrestling school…that’s your prerogative ha.”
Cody’s ‘meet/greet style handshake photo’ line is presumably a reference to the compulsory Triple H picture after most new NXT signees.
And Cody wasn’t done there, as he pointed out going back to ‘wrestling school’ isn’t the only step down for an independent wrestler signing with WWE. You’ll likely make less money working for the biggest wrestling company in the world.
“The Takeover events are outstanding. So much positivity surround them. Might be the future model as well for the industry…w/less events, but more attention. BUT there’s definitely more money on the outside. Nearly triple for those who work hard.”
“It’s not just for the big guys, but anybody with steady dates. Too many positive financial factors. Travel handled, rate, merchandising.”
And that’s not to mention all the rap songs you can release!
