• Cody Rhodes Fires Back At WCW Veteran – Says He Has Never Drawn A Dollar & Was Lucky To Be Juiced Up Double-Lifer
WCW Veteran Disco Inferno recently criticized top New Japan Pro Wrestling star Kenny Omega’s in-ring work (after Omega busted open Cody Rhodes with a kick during their match).
Below is what Disco tweeted:
Nobody knows how to "work" anymore. They would rather kill each other to get @davemeltzerWON to put their match over. That is a problem that needs to be put front and center. Guys are going to keep getting hurt. https://t.co/NTwFopHlDR

Trying to educate the masses that the actual "art" of wrestling is making it look real without lacerating your opponents for real. https://t.co/UBDfvI7j4X

How is that an accident? Because he accidentally kicked him too hard in the face? That means your "work" is not good. https://t.co/G9NhYj0VxM

Cody Rhodes fired back at Disco for these comments and tweeted the following:
Stop. You know nothing. You have drawn 0 dollars. No fan has ever left a show thinking about you. You were lucky to be a juiced up double-lifer "over with the boys" type in an era where you hid in plain sight coasting on others' success. Couldn't hang then, can't get booked now. https://t.co/0kiDAgyhlT

I take no pride in ending that man's career w/a single tweet…but this whole "they're doing it wrong…I know how to do it right…they're exposing the business…"
That logic itself is exposing the business. Don't let the bitter have a place in our world.
