I love stories about WWE old guard that basically go "yeah, so then he kicked Vince's door down, spat in his face, and called him a pussy and that's how we got the match at Mania"
That does seem like how you got his attention, though. Everyone who complains about Vince not listening to them talk about how they text him, call him, and email him. The guys that got the shit they wanted booted his door down or talked with him in person, and I think it's a respect thing. Can you imagine how many calls or emails Vince must've gotten back then? The guys who had been around knew that the way to get his attention was to just kick his door in and state plainly what you wanted. Cody and Rey were the perfect combo in that sense, Rey kicked the door in to get his attention, and Cody had the plan to keep it.
Vince, for all his faults and there was tons of them, I think ultimately wanted to know that you cared and that you were going to fight for every second of tv time you got. Someone who is just happy to be living their dream isn't going to draw a ton of money because the audience won't believe that they believe what they're saying. And the way you show you care in vince's eyes is you take charge. I think triple h's management style is better, it feels more like a collaboration, but I dont think that wanting to see fire as your main management style is a bad one. It's the rest of the shit that's bad
@@sethh5106 that's why I can't wholey blame Vince for "ruining" stars. Somewhat responsible but yes i see him as you wanting really wanting to be on TV.
He would have wanted someone to do the same for his son if he weren't around. Therefore he paid an old legend back out of respect for what they all do and to protect wrestling bloodlines.
I think Rey allowing Cody to plan the whole thing was even more important than people realize, he allowed Cody to really show how much knowledge and expertise he has and to show Vince specifically that they should trust him.
And if the whole thing sucked,it would've been Rey who got heat for it, because he was the one who assured vince it'd be great. So Cody gets the credit, and none of the heat
@@slimj091I don't know; it's WrestleMania. I think any other wrestler he wouldn't have shown that much trust. I'm sure after him being around Cody so much, he knew he would put a lot of thought into planning it out. It's like any job: you ask the new guy for their opinion and how they would handle certain situations, like when my dad would let me take some jobs and organize the people for his roofing company and gain experience and learn from what I did wrong.
Rey Mysterio will always be one of my all-time favorites inside the ring, and the more I hear stories about him outside the ring, the more I love him. An absolute legend.
The only person I've ever heard say anything bad about Rey as a man is Rey himself, which is a huge testament in a business where most wrestlers shit talk just to make themselves look better no matter how truthful it is.
If a mexican luchador on misterios level says "im not interested" is basically saying i wanna work you, surprise me. He wanted to see what younwere capable in both work, ideas and how you were gonna treat him. He is a vet. He tested you in many way. To see how inpatient you were, respectful etc. im sure he was eager to get in there with ya. He just wanted to give you a moment of great learning
Right, and I think the key is Rey's confidence. Rey hadn't worked Cody much, and he assured Vince personally that the story would be good and that they'd have a good match. Now the responsibility is on Rey to deliver. If that feud sucks and the match sucks, it's Rey whose head is on the chopping block, not Cody's. So Cody gets the credit with 0 of the blowback, and he gets to see first hand how a veteran handles vince. You can't pay for that experience.
Rey has a career long history of working with people who become big stars in the business, his style just meshes very well with almost anyone worth the time
I liked Broken Mirrors character so much, it felt so different. I could imagine this thing go as far as Mankind did back in the days but it ended abruptly.
I think his Stardust character had so much potential, they just needed to give him a somewhat decent push. The music was legit, it was like seeing a new Goldust.
what i really like abnout cody is that he never shies away from acknowledging his father and how that set him up, but also on realizing that she can become his own man and take forward his own version of 'the dream'. veterans recognise that and nurture it well
Man, I'm not from the UK, but seeing Cody drinking a pint of Guiness and his suits makes me think it would be really fun to hear him telling backstage stories in a pub with some 90s rock playing in the background before going for a game of darts. Him, Sheamus and McIntyre in a Pub must be one hell of an evening.
Rey has done so much for wrestling, man. From popularizing mexican lucha, to opening doors to entirely different body types in WWE, to being willing to try and put people and working great with everyone. One of the greatest of all time, and the crazy part is he's still doing it. Wrestling would be noticeable different, and worse, if he'd never made it, and I don't think we'be really grasped how much.
Its amazing how much trust these guys had in Cody so fast. I mean, i can imagine. Hes Dusty's boy and Gold Dusts younger brother. Clearly he lives and breathes the stuff. But to just say 'hey, make us a wreslemania match' is a ton of trust and respect.
This is what can happen when veterans respect rookies and rookies respect veterans! No body protecting spots just respect and trust! This is part of the business every company could learn from!
I like that Rey basically went "sink or swim" with Cody. Either Cody gives it his all and give a great match or have a bad match with Cody. Rey can handle having a bad match because there's so many good matches he has had that one bad match wouldn't rock the boat. Cody having a bad match with Rey would ruin him because how could you have a bad match?
Rey knows what Dusty did for his career in wcw. Rey seems like the guy to take care of the people who helps him in life. Hes such a genuine dude. Never heard any wrestler speak ill of rey.
Its actually real cool especially when you got guys like Hogan that decline to work with ppl or put them over because of their ego. Rey on the other hand went outta his way to help some1 lower then him on the totem pole
Same. Thinking about it now though I guess the kids market and the latino market he must have made Vince a shit load of money so if he wanted something i'm sure he could have gotten it.
Dean Malenko is an older brother to Rey like they go back like way back And that was they way of Rey to say in wrestling language: " Son, surprise" literally he wanted to push him to come with the ideas so he can show what he can do like Bro he is Dusty's kid he has to work
WWE doesn't always make smart decisions. They had both Sting and Undertaker on their roster at one point but did they have them work a Main Event Wrestlemania match? Nope and that seemed like a lost opportunity
I respect Cody been thru a lot but he just doesn’t seem like the next guy like how Brock, Cena, Orton, Batista, Punk were…reminds of Bart Simpson grown up with a twist of dolph lundren
It wasn't a Mexican impression...it was an Rey impression. Impressionisnt do the person's voice, their culture has nothing to do with anything. Also Rey is half Mexican, half American.
What would you do if Rey Mysterio kicked open your door? 😂 Let us know in the comments!
I’d ask him if he was ok and if he needed a Snickers.
Shit myself then ask him if he wants my autograph.
My immediate reaction would be to jump up and yell "WHO'S THAT JUMPIN OUT THE SKY REY MYSTERIO!! HERE WE GO!"
I'd tell him I don't talk to deadbeats and tell him to leave
"Bro, it's a curtain."
Cody's Rey Mysterio impression made me chuckle, great story.
Weirdly, he's the rare one that didn't do Vince impression at all, considering everyone seems be able to do Vince impression spot on.
@@sonicslv6132 Yep seems so, but that Rey impression tho9ugh, that was brilliant.
it was a horrible impression but it was funny lol
@@GartherB Yep, a bad impression can be good if it's used in a funny way and this was.
Because of Cody's lisp it sounds like he's doing Jay Leno a little bit.

Youre the Dreams son. Rey knew what he was doing
Honestly worked really good & helped Rey son to give back. Truly to men who admire their work & each other
facts
For the record, that's not exactly what Cody said...
He would have wanted someone to do the same for his son if he weren't around. Therefore he paid an old legend back out of respect for what they all do and to protect wrestling bloodlines.
Doesn't always mean everything. Ted DiBiase Jr didn't really go anywhere
I think Rey allowing Cody to plan the whole thing was even more important than people realize, he allowed Cody to really show how much knowledge and expertise he has and to show Vince specifically that they should trust him.
Great perspective. Cody said he didn't know why Rey did it but that sounds the most plausible. Rey is such a genuine person.
And if the whole thing sucked,it would've been Rey who got heat for it, because he was the one who assured vince it'd be great. So Cody gets the credit, and none of the heat

The Rey Mysterio impersonation had me rolling 🤣
Sounds more like Tyson 😂
Freal
“Cody hey! Hey!” 😂😂😂😂😂
That damn rey impression 😂
Forgot Cody has a base form. Bro been in Super Saiyan for so long now
bro been doing the gohan ssj2 training
@@Ark-oi3qy hi this is a Wendy’s

The way he put Rey Mysterio over just with this story alone tells you all you need to know how much he respects him and business they work for. 💯

Good guy Rey. He knew Vince listens to him cause Rey's such a legend.
His Rey impression is wonderful!

Maybe not Mankind but I get what you’re saying
UnDashing Cody Rhodes should have been Cody's early breakthrough
I think his Stardust character had so much potential, they just needed to give him a somewhat decent push. The music was legit, it was like seeing a new Goldust.
@@keonisan I think we’re the only two people who like Stardust 😂😂😂
@@TheDirtySouth404 I also think Velvetine dream had the potential to be a Goldust but his real life demons got the better of him.
Cody’s Rey Mysterio impression is what I imagine Mike Tyson sounds like without a lisp
Only Cody DOES have a lisp lolololol
Cody's mask character was incredible, nobody talks about it but he was an amazing heel in 2011
Rey has balls of steel
So “THE BAGGERS” was Vince’s idea - that was honestly one of the best parts of the gimmick.
“Assistants… ASSIST ME.”

Ireland isn’t UK 😅
Guinness is about as Irish as it gets, come on now
his rey voice sounds like jay leno
It actually sounds like his father when you think about
I feel like I have heard another story about Rey just crashing into Vince's office to tell him about a match he wants to work
Vince respected Rey as Rey is a legend, and has brought WWE astronomical profits from merch.
😂 Him imitating Rey sounds like your average stereotypical nerd from the 80's "hey guys! You wanna see my baseball card collection"

The Irish guy is drinking water....Cody is drinking Guinness...that's hilarious.
He's Scottish
There is no Irish guy on stage....
@@dizzygunner yes I've gathered....i wholeheartedly apologize to you all.

does sound like a "your dad was a GREAT booker & wrestler.... do you have his skills kid?"
Rey is nicest dude from every person ive heard
rey mysterio got the best drip in wwe
I remember I was so pissed as a kid seeing Cody win that wrestlemania match😭
A man who's an established veteran giving an up an comer a chance speaks volumes to his character, humility and legacy👑
Cody does the greatest impression of Rey ever
That was the best Rey Mysterio impression I’ve ever heard 💀💀
Rey knows what Dusty did for his career in wcw. Rey seems like the guy to take care of the people who helps him in life. Hes such a genuine dude. Never heard any wrestler speak ill of rey.
Cody supping a pint of Guinness, say with his foot up whilst telling stories is just so cool 😎
I feel like that what Rey did with Cody, letting him come up with the match, was something Dean Malenko did with Rey.
That impression is INSANE
😂😂😂😂
Fun fact : This story wasn't really that interesting, but Cody is such a good story teller, so you listen anyway.
I think it's an interesting story.
Not to mention his spot on impression of Rey's voice.
Its actually real cool especially when you got guys like Hogan that decline to work with ppl or put them over because of their ego. Rey on the other hand went outta his way to help some1 lower then him on the totem pole
How can you call someone’s opinion a fact. Weird.
I think it's interesting because it revealed Rey likes the work, but doesn't like to put in the effort -- at least in this instance.
Cody always reminds me of a GI Joe or something. Just has that All American look. Seems like a solid dude.
Cody’s Rey voice sounds like Sam Roberts
Was Cody doing an impression of Rey Mysterio or Tony Khan? Lmao
That was a great voice impersonation!
How do all wrestlers make spot on impressions of eachother?
Cody’s Rey impression 💀😂😂😂😂
Never in this life I would have imagined Rey mysterio kicking down Vince's door and calling the shots.
Same. Thinking about it now though I guess the kids market and the latino market he must have made Vince a shit load of money so if he wanted something i'm sure he could have gotten it.
Rey is a brand himself. His merchandise is still the big.
A luchadore mask is almost synonymous with Rey Mysterio.
2:24 OOO NVM! I wonder what Vince was doing in his office 😂
That was a really good match glad Cody won
Impression got me man 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
His Rey impression is spot on
Lol! Never knew Cody did such a good Rey lol 😂
Codys impression of Rey. Holy fuck
Ive been saying since this rilvary cody will be something big im so glad to see im right years later rey the goat for that
Cody got that San Diego accent down
I really want to see this
he is
my fav wrestler
Dean Malenko is an older brother to Rey like they go back like way back
And that was they way of Rey to say in wrestling language: " Son, surprise" literally he wanted to push him to come with the ideas so he can show what he can do like Bro he is Dusty's kid he has to work
UnDashing Cody Rhodes could have been HUGE
pre neck tattoo
😂
door had to have been open a little already...mans eye level with the doorknob
met him once.... the top of his head was at nipple height for me
Died just reading the title 😂😂 small ass lmao
Cody’s Rey voice sounds like my valet parking guy 😂
That was really cool of Rey
His Rey voice sounds like Jay Leno
Does a mean Rey mysterio
Cody Rhodes Rey Mysterio impersonation sounds like Bobby Flay
Nice!
My beautiful boy Dean Malenko name dropped 🤣
Why does his Rey impression sound like a Mike Tyson impression 😂
WWE doesn't always make smart decisions. They had both Sting and Undertaker on their roster at one point but did they have them work a Main Event Wrestlemania match? Nope and that seemed like a lost opportunity
My GOAT 🙇♀
The part where Cody opens Vinces door and says 'ooh, nevermind' and closes it again hit differently now. What did he walk in on?
SPOT ON REY LOL
Adrenaline in my soul!
When was the part he kicked his door down?
2:39
He literally did a kicking motion with his foot when telling that part lol
😂 Rey Mysterio impersonation 😅
There seems to be a lot of wrestlers whom have kicked Vince's door down.
codys impression of Rey but he sounds more like himself
Why does Rey sound like a young Marty McFly
Cody’s Rey impression sounds like Sam Roberts…
When I hear this it makes me feel like dusty was the one that gave him a big breat at one point and he wanted to at least help his son.
why do a fake thumbnail?
Cody's impression or Rey is like if Mysterio had an American accent 🤭
Dat sounds like Rey too lol
Story itself 5/10
Clickbait title 6/10
Impersonation 10/10
Why did he make Rey sound like Jay Leno?
I Am My Kingdom!

💀💀💀
he did Rey dirty with his impression
Not really, it sounds exactly like him.
That’s literally how Rey talks lol
i dont believe this. everyone has said Rey is a good man. i think hes lying.
Thats a horrible rey mysterio voice impression, rey is the boss he knows he can knock down doors 🚪
Why would Mysterio kick down Vince's door when he could just enter through the doggy door. 🐶🐶
the doggy door was probably being used by some girl vince was raping.
Poor union workers lol
A non-blonde Cody? When was this interview?
Probably 2016 or 2017.
opened the door with his foot... ill make sure to block this channel good clickbait tho thanks
I’m surprised nobody got offended and called Cody a racist for doing an impression of a Mexican guy 😂
It wasn't a Mexican impression...it was an Rey impression. Impressionisnt do the person's voice, their culture has nothing to do with anything. Also Rey is half Mexican, half American.
