X-Pac asks Rhodes about his recent Twitter argument with Disco Inferno. X-Pac thought that this was a terrible example for Disco Inferno to use of reckless or careless behaviour in the ring. Rhodes agrees, pointing out that this was just a freak accident which resulted in a “boxer’s cut”. He also argues the notion that he’s trying to work for high star ratings from Dave Meltzer.
He points out that he likes Meltzer and thinks he’s a nice guy who does right by the sport of wrestling, but he’s definitely not a “Meltzer guy”. He adds that he’s never been rated highly by Meltzer. Rhodes mentions that he regrets coming back at Disco Inferno on Twitter because it took the spotlight off of his upcoming match with Omega.
Rhodes finds it somewhat upsetting that some veterans of the business criticize the way the business is today. He points out that the business is growing right now, and this weekend is a great example of that. The “Supercard of Honour” is happening right down the street from “NXT Takeover” on the same night, and both buildings are sold out. The fact that all those performers will want to out-perform their competitors is great for business as a whole.
X-Pac asks Rhodes how his body is feeling right now. Rhodes points out that his recent eye injury was unfortunate and his lower back is starting to act up from time to time, but he considers himself to be very lucky in the sense that he’s never had a real serious injury. He points out that he has never used steroids and he thinks that’s helped his career.
That sums up today’s episode of X-Pac 1, 2, 360. You can listen to the show yourself anytime here, and I’ll catch ya next week for another recap!
