Ross welcomes Cody Rhodes to the show.
Rhodes talks about the upcoming NJPW show that will take place in the United States, as well as his IWGP United States Championship match with Juice Robinson. He points out that this entire card is stacked, and the company as a whole has adapted an “all hands on deck” approach to these big shows. Rhodes says that he and The Young Bucks had that mentality for ALL IN, and ROH and NJPW have seemingly picked up that approach.
Ross says that Okada reminds him of The Rock and he’s unsure why. Perhaps it’s the natural charisma and the “It” factor. He also notes that Okada is 6’3”, similar in height to The Great One. Cody agrees, noting that Okada has all the key factors that make up a Superstar, and that’s a rare mix.
Rhodes admits that his work schedule is pretty hectic these days, but he likes that. If he ever complains about his busy schedule his wife, Brandi, quickly reminds him that this is everything that he ever wanted in life.
A listener writes into the show and asks Ross if he thinks WWE will ever add a referee wing to the Hall of Fame. Ross believes that a referee will be inducted into the Hall of Fame at some point, but he doesn’t think they’ll add a separate wing to the Hall for referees. He points out that the first referee inducted could be either of the Hebner brothers, Mike Chioda or Tim White.
