Cody Rhodes reveals his stand on continuing his family legacy in wrestling

Rhodes has been in the wrestling business for over 15 years and is the third pro wrestler from his family to wrestle in WWE. His father Dusty Rhodes was a former NWA Champion and competed in WWE as well, while his brother, Dustin Rhodes (Golddust) was a former WWE superstar.

Rhodes answered the question about her daughter joining the pro wrestling business by stating that he would not hesitate to let his daughter Liberty follow in his footsteps. He said, “If you were just like if it was hypothetical, hey, son or daughter wants to get into the industry? I would, of course, say Go for it. It’s the greatest thing ever for me.”

Rhodes further stated that he was thankful for the wrestling business and how it has changed his life for good. Rhodes considers wrestling to be the second most important thing in his life, the first being his family. He said, “Uh, the only thing I love more, than sports entertainment, pro-wrestling is my family. This is Brandy and Liberty. Number two is the game. What we’re ion. You have to be like that to continue to move forward with it.”

But Rhodes has a message for his daughter Liberty. He said, “But if you are gonna do it, you really should do it to be the best.”

For Rhodes, wrestling is one of the most important things in life. The sentiment is shared by his family which led to the creation of WarGames match format.
