A passionate plea for WWE's house show revival!
Cody Rhodes, a wrestling legend, has revealed his heartfelt desire to bring back WWE's house show schedule. He misses the old days, and his pitch to WWE's top brass is a testament to his love for the sport and its traditions.
The Case for House Shows:
Rhodes believes that live events are a wrestler's lifeblood. He argues that the camaraderie, the reps, and the sense of belonging that comes with a full tour schedule is invaluable. It's about more than just the matches; it's about the bond between wrestlers and the rhythm they develop.
"It's hard to think you work somewhere if you're only there a couple of days a week." - Cody Rhodes
His suggestion? Run one house show loop per month. Make these events special, almost breaking the fourth wall. They're canon, yet they offer a unique, intimate experience. You might see your favorite stars, but also discover new talent getting their first big break.
"They're so fun, so fun!" - Rhodes on the magic of house shows.
But here's where it gets controversial... WWE hasn't responded to Rhodes' pitch. He admits it might not be the best idea, but he stands by his belief that it would create a team spirit and keep wrestlers in top form.
Jey Uso, a fellow wrestler and guest on the "What Do You Wanna Talk About?" podcast, agrees. He misses the old schedule and the frequent wrestling opportunities.
And this is the part most people miss... WWE still runs house shows, but mostly on international tours. Domestically, they hold the annual Holiday Tour, a reminder of the good old days.
So, is WWE missing a trick by not embracing house shows more often? Should they listen to Rhodes' pitch?
