In an interview with Channel 24 to hype WWE’s upcoming live tour of South Africa, WWE superstar Cody Rhodes discussed who his wrestling hero is, what the future holds for Team Rhodes Scholars and much more.

On what the future holds for Team Rhodes Scholars: “The future for Team Rhodes Scholars is no Team Rhodes Scholars. Damien is my best friend and I do enjoy tagging with him, especially the banter that exists on the microphone between the two of us. But, we are not a tag team. We can take the team right out of Rhodes Scholars so that hopefully he can pursue wonderful things in the industry and as can I.”

On his wrestling hero: “Shawn Michaels. I kind of grew up past my dad’s generation and I wasn’t really able to see a lot of what he did and a lot of it isn’t even on. So Shawn Michaels was the one that kept my attention as a young man watching. I always wanted to see him fight back, he was always fighting from underneath and it was very dramatic for a young man who is feeling the same way. He was always my hero.”
