Cody Rhodes is always nattily dressed on WWE TV, and he explained recently why he chose to wear suits. Rhodes is rarely seen out of a suit if he’s not working a match, and he spoke about the reason for his attire in an interview with Jazzys World TV. You can see excerpts from the discussion below, courtesy of Wrestling Inc:
On why he wears suits: “I wish it was something that was a thing that my family did, but my dad didn’t even know how to tie a tie… For me, and specifically where it started was when I was doing the independent scene, I wanted to be basically the man I always thought I could be.”
On getting criticism for it: “A lot of people looked at it and thought like, ‘Oh, it was overcompensation, oh it was pretentious, oh it was insecurity’.’ Really, it was just a matter of I felt like, ‘Hey, I wanna be the most professional in the room’… It became all I wear to the point where it’s funny if you ever catch me in — I guess vacation clothes I call them… They’re really bad.”
