“A lot of decisions I made, I felt more liberated in making those decisions than I perhaps would have had he still been alive,” Rhodes said. Cody revealed that he told Dusty once that he was thinking about switching his in-ring gear to tights to which Dusty told his son that tights were for “job guys.” Cody said he can never see himself wearing trunks again.
