Cody Rhodes: Dustin Rhodes teaming with The Von Erichs is ‘so cool’

Cody Rhodes discussed his brother’s team with Ross and Marshall Von Erich in a new interview with Sports Illustrated.

Dustin Rhodes and The Von Erichs won the ROH Six-Man Tag Team Championships at Battle of the Belts XI last month. Dustin then cut an emotional promo after the match and thanked Kevin Von Erich for everything he’s given to the wrestling business.

Cody told Justin Barrasso that he studied Kevin Von Erich and found Dustin teaming with Kevin’s kids to be “very touching.”

“Dustin doing the spot with the Von Erichs was so cool,” said Cody. “I have such a love for the Von Erichs. I don’t think Kevin knows this, but I studied Kevin, I watched Kevin, I was so fascinated by Kevin Von Erich. To see his kids and Dustin, it was very touching.”

Dustin and the Von Erichs also participated in the ROH TV tapings last night at the Esports Stadium in Arlington, Texas. Spoilers from the show are available here.

Cody continued to discuss his family’s history in wrestling.

“In addition to that, behind the curtain are my nephews Dalton and Dylan. They’re close with Dustin, and to see them go from playing around to the point where now I can see it–it’s one of those things where, once you start, you can’t stop. They’re both at the University of Texas and more than anything, my mom would like them to finish. But I look forward to the decisions they make. They’re not ready to wrestle Jacob Fatu just yet, but they’ll get there.”
