Cody’s Success In WWE
Cody Rhodes was at the center of one of the most enthralling and exciting storylines of the past few years in WWE, against Roman Reigns.

He thinks a lot of stories are recreated or rehashed in wrestling, as a part of tributes and just by being inspired from some other medium of stories.
Compares His Story With “Game of Thrones”
“You see a lot of rehashes that are tributes, and sometimes you can take something that is old and it be new again and you can do it all over. For me, I feel my story is unique because it’s rooted in full reality and it existed prior to. It is a very long form going from 1977-78 with Dusty and Superstar (Billy Graham), and the WWWF Championship. It’s a very long tale, that is incredibly real in a world where we suspended disbelief. If anything, it feels almost like ‘Game of Thrones’ in wrestling”. stated Cody, drawing parallels of his journey with the highly popular Series.

Cody also discussed a part of the song used in his entrance. “The bit at the top of my song, ‘Wrestling has more than one royal family.’ I don’t think it was ever intended to be as real as it is. I mean that in a positive for me, but also the crosshair I have on my back from The Bloodline. Any of these families, I’m not QB 1, I’m enemy one. It feels very much that it has become as real as it ever could. I can’t think of anything that compares”. Which game of thrones character does Cody signify? Drop your opinions below?
