The Rock made a surprise return to WWE during last Friday’s SmackDown. Cody was supposed to face Roman Reigns at WrestleMania 40, but he seemingly gave his spot to Dwayne ‘The Rock’ Johnson.
The Rock appeared on The Pat McAfee Show, where he talked about Cody Rhodes. The Rock says he loves Cody Rhodes’ passionate fans, he also says there are other passionate Cody Rhodes’ fans, they are called as ‘Cody crybabies’.
The Rock on We Want Cody chants
“I expected it. We expected it. It’s right there. You go back, and I like to think, ‘I have my finger on the pulse,’ we all try to keep the finger on the pulse. Ultimately, what the fans want, and what they’re saying, and sometimes, oftentimes, as you guys know, in sports and entertainment and anywhere, regardless of the vertical of business you’re in, there is a wave of noise that happens right out of the gate that you want to pause for a second, let’s not make any rash decisions, let’s wait to see how it all shakes out and see from there. It was just a matter of waiting. Now, was not surprised at it, I did expect it.
Here is the fun part about this, I’ve known Cody for a long time. He’s a buddy of mine. Dusty Rhodes and my dad used to team together in Florida, we used to go to the Rhodes house all the time when I was growing up. We’re tight in that way. I love Cody, I love his passionate fans. Then, there are the other passionate fans, they’re called the Cody crybabies. These are grown-a$$ men. ‘Cody is gonna finish his story.’ Wait a second, hold on. ‘Dad, you want to go outside and play catch with me?’ ‘Not now, Cody is trying to finish his story. I’m upset.’ The wife comes in, ‘Hey honey, do you want to have sex?’ ‘Not now, Cody has to finish his story.’ At the end of the day, you have the Cody crybabies and the Cody fans and Cody himself.“
“There is a clear distinction between the three. The Rock says this, the Cody crybabies, for every ten tweets, they’re shoving a chicken mcnugget in their mouth, every 20 tweets they’re shoving two mcnuggets up their a$$. The Rock says this, all you have to do is sit back, know your role, shut your mouth, and enjoy the ride the Rock is going to take your candy a$$ on. Hashtag that. Hashtag, shut your b!tch a$$es up, hashtag Cody crybabies. That’s the fun part of what we do. It’s awesome,” (H/T: Fightful)
