Before that, it was amateur wrestling, during which he won two state titles and earned a full scholarship offer to Penn State. That he, too, would become a professional wrestler.Ĭody was home visiting from Los Angeles, where, as he puts it, he’d “blown a lot of money” trying to become an actor. He and Dusty were driving home from breakfast at the local Waffle House in Marietta, Georgia, when Cody worked up the nerve to tell him that he wanted to join the family business. It happened nearly a decade and a half ago, when Cody was 19. Like many of the ones he tells best, it concerns his father, Virgil Runnels, better known as “The American Dream” Dusty Rhodes, among the greatest professional wrestlers who ever lived. It’s a rainy Sunday afternoon in Tennessee and Cody Rhodes is telling a story.
