Cody Rhodes Wants Wrestlers To Show Up To His Funeral In Full Gimmick, Requests To Be Buried In His American Nightmare Robe
Cody Rhodes wants full kayfabe at his funeral.
During his recent appearance on Grave Conversations, Rhodes spoke about his love of the popular DC comic series known as Identity Crisis. One scene in that series features a group of heroes attending a funeral while wearing their full costumes.
Rhodes noted that he’d like for his funeral to be similar, requesting that wrestlers show up in full gear.
“[The DC Comic series] Identity Crisis has one of the greatest funeral scenes of all time because all of them showed up in gimmick, full gear. When my time comes, I want the wrestling world in full gimmick. Bury me in the American Nightmare Sandra Grey robe. Bury me as I was. I spent so much time giving back to pro wrestling and taking from pro wrestling and loving that I got to play a superhero. I’d like to go out a superhero.”
Rhodes is set to take part in this weekend’s Men’s Royal Rumble match. Check out the updated particpant list for that match by clicking here.
