Cody Rhodes Admits He’s A “Pyro Hog,” Says Triple H Picks The Fireworks

Undisputed WWE Champion “The American Nightmare” Cody Rhodes appeared on Pardon My Take to discuss several topics, including why he loves pyro so much in wrestling and how he is a pyro hog.

Rhodes said, “It’s been heavily complained about by some of my peers, but there’s a lot of pyro for my entrance. There’s a third one that may be a little indulgent where I’ll go up on the buckle and they all yell woah at my song. Pyro is hard to get. If you were looking at it like a line by line sheet, I am a pyro hog. Also, Triple H runs the show. I’m his guy. I don’t want to blow that, might have just blown it, but that’s who picks out the pyro.”

On wrestlers who don’t use pyro:

“Kevin Owens is the one who’s gone on a rant lately as to why he doesn’t have any pyro. I feel like we can probably spare some pyro for KO. Steve Austin never needed pyro. I’m not going to lie, I don’t mind the whole — give me all the bells and whistles. Some guys are just right there in your face and they didn’t need it, but I don’t mind blowing the sky when I come out there. It’s an exciting moment.”

On hearing someone complain about the pyro:

“I heard a guy literally, as I was walking out and the first one burst, tell the rest of the boys that were in gorilla, ‘There goes your Christmas bonus guys.’ A, we don’t get Christmas bonuses; it’s not how the pay works. We’re not taking money from the talent pool for the pyro.”
