Cody Rhodes has revealed that he recently pitched a plan to WWE management to bring back a more consistent house-show schedule, saying he misses working non-televised events and the energy they bring to the wrestling fans.
During a recent edition of his What Do You Wanna Talk About? podcast, Rhodes discussed the idea, noting that he asked the company to consider running one house show loop per month.
“I had suggested some of the top brass in the company for a myriad of reasons: camaraderie, the reps, and the general sense of working here. It’s hard to think you work somewhere if you’re only there a couple of days a week, right? Versus the schedule for when we first started, where it was full tours, live events, then you come to TV, and then you’re home less time…I had suggested to them, I said, ‘Run one weekend a month, call them house shows, make them almost poke the fourth wall a little bit in terms of what they are.’ They’re canon, but they’re not. You’re going to see some of the stuff you see on TV, but it’s going to be a bit more of a mixed bag. And maybe you’re going to see some people you’ve never seen before who are getting their first rep in front of you. Run them that way where there’s an intimacy to them that’s advertised. ‘This is a house show. That’s what you guys are getting, and it’s going to be awesome.’ They’re so fun, so fun.”
