Cody Rhodes additionally expressed how he always tries to approach talking about his father from the perspective of how fans viewed Dusty as one of the greatest talkers in the industry, and as such, he always has to live up to that legacy. “There’s an expectation. The way he spoke and just legit breathed fire, basically,” he recalled. Rhodes then added that he couldn’t believe Bruce Prichard’s story because his father hardly spoke to him about that night. “He never talked to me about that Hall of Fame speech, which is why it’s crazy that he said ‘this is a coming out party.’ I didn’t even think – I don’t think I saw him until that day, because it was my first WrestleMania week!”

“Speaking of inductions, and I had thought about this a little: so, we talked about you and your amazing Dusty Rhodes impersonation, which I do love,” Rhodes added, noting that he tries to impersonate his father sometimes but is never as good as Prichard, however, he feels that if Dustin Rhodes ever gets inducted into the WWE Hall of Fame, he’d do an impersonation of their father that night. “I’d commit to, because I’ve asked myself ‘What would he say?’ and I feel [I’m] the expert, at least on what he would – how he would talk about his other son; I feel I’m the expert!” Rhodes then explained that he’d ultimately try to do the best impersonation of Prichard’s impersonation of his father.
