Not wrestling— David Crosby (@thedavidcrosby) August 8, 2017

The WWF is not pro wrestling org, it's a conservation org.

Cody: They Could Honor My Father But Not Me
In a recent interview with Fan Buzz Cody Rhodes shed more light on why he walked away from WWE:
“That was a decision where I can’t stay with WWE because you guys are honoring my dad so much. I’m an individual myself. I love my dad, but if I stay here because you guys are honoring his legacy, yet you don’t honor me and honor my hard work, then I can tell you the number one person who would be pissed off would be my dad.”
Cody also discussed his short TNA stint:
“Brandi was watching Maria and Mike [Bennett] on Pop and she wanted to go. I didn’t have any plans to go, but I thought I could absolutely try to help make that happen. I didn’t have a bad outing at all or a single complaint. I do think it was a bit misleading to fans whereas I had only signed on to do 3-4 dates and I didn’t re-sign — I would have made everyone aware if I had re-signed. So it was a little misleading because I think they made it seem like I was part of the roster and I really wasn’t, I was just dropping in and saying hello on occasion. They let me do that, so I respect Impact for letting me do that. I really liked Dixie [Carter], really liked Billy [Corgan], really liked Jeff and Karen [Jarrett]. No complaints.”
