You might want to listen. Sometimes in wrestling, you will see a performance that you cannot get out of your head. There is something so impressive about it that it sticks with you over the years and becomes one of those classic moments. That might have been the case this weekend, and despite the match being the main event of the show, there was something else to end the night.
The main event of this weekend’s Hell In A Cell pay per view saw Cody Rhodes defeat Rollins. Rhodes wrestled the match with a torn pectoral muscle and had a large bruise all over his arm and chest. According to PWInsider.com following the show, a crying Rhodes said he would announce more about his injury tomorrow on Monday Night Raw and apologized for wrestling hurt. He made it clear that wrestling was his decision and he would win the WWE Title. Rhodes thanked the fans for coming to the show to end the night.
Opinion: That is quite the apology as I don’t think anyone was looking for one. Rhodes wrestled a heck of a match with his arm more or less worthless, which is more than almost anyone else would do. The visual alone was terrifying and I think he built up about as much good will as you could in half an hour. Rhodes will be a main event star as soon as he gets back and that is going to be a great thing to see, so I think the apology is covered.
What do you think of Rhodes’ performance? What should he do when he gets back? Let us know in the comments below.
