Well now, let me tell ya ’bout this fella, Cody Rhodes, and his mama. You know, when folks talk about him, they mostly yack about his daddy, Dusty Rhodes, bein’ this big ol’ wrestler, but lemme tell ya, his mama, Michelle, she’s just as important, even though she don’t like all them cameras and lights shinin’ on her.
Now, Michelle, she ain’t no stranger to the wrestling world, even though she ain’t as loud as her husband Dusty or her boy Cody. She was born in a little ol’ place called El Paso, Texas, back on October 6, 1962. I reckon she was raised up just like any other good ol’ country gal, workin’ hard and mindin’ her own business. But life sure had other plans for her, what with her husband Dusty bein’ a famous wrestler and all. That meant Michelle had to get used to a life in the limelight, even if she didn’t like it much. She ain’t one to be all flashy and boastin’, but she sure is proud of her boys.
Now, what a lot of folks don’t know is that Michelle, she’s been right there by Cody’s side from the start. After Cody got himself all beat up at AEW Full Gear, guess who was there to patch him up? Yep, it was Michelle! She wasn’t about to let her son suffer on his own. She stitched him up herself, right there, even after all that rough and tumble in the ring. That’s the kinda mama she is, tough as nails and always lookin’ out for her family. You wouldn’t think it, but behind all them pretty faces and glitzy outfits, Michelle’s just like any other mama, worried ‘bout her boy.
When Cody was busy wrestlin’ Brock Lesnar, I reckon Michelle was watchin’ every match with a heavy heart. Any mama’d feel that way, watchin’ her son go through all that pain. But still, she stood by him, didn’t make a peep ‘bout how hard it was, ‘cause that’s what a mama does. She don’t complain, she just supports. And I tell ya, folks noticed her, they did. When Cody was all bloodied up, Michelle’s face said it all, like she was hurtin’ just as much as him. But she didn’t let on, no sir. She just stood there, quiet and strong, just like any mama would.
Cody, bless his heart, he talks ’bout his mama sometimes, ya know. Said she didn’t like all them big press conferences and all that public attention. She just wanted to keep to herself. But Cody, he ain’t shy. When he got the chance, he said it loud and clear at the WrestleMania 40 press conference, how much his mama meant to him. How she helped him get to the top, even though she’d rather be sittin’ back in the kitchen somewhere, bakin’ a pie or somethin’ rather than being on the big stage. Ain’t that somethin’? A mama who don’t seek attention, but still helps her son climb that ladder to greatness.
Cody himself, he was born back in Charlotte, North Carolina, on June 30, 1985. That’s right, he came into this world under the name Cody Garrett Runnels. His daddy, Dusty, well, he was a legend in his own right. But Michelle, Cody’s mama, she was right there in the background, watchin’ it all unfold. She didn’t get involved in the wrestling business like Dusty did, but she was always there for her kids. Her love and support are the quiet backbone behind everything Cody’s done.
And now, folks all around the world, they’re watchin’ as Cody continues to carry his daddy’s legacy in the ring. But let me tell ya, it ain’t just Dusty’s spirit that lives on in Cody. Michelle’s strength, her quiet determination, and the way she loves her family, that’s what keeps Cody goin’, too. She might not get as much attention as the wrestlers, but she’s just as important in the story, always there for Cody, from the very first day to the very last match.
If you ask me, a mama’s love is the strongest thing there is. Doesn’t matter if she’s famous or just a quiet woman in the background. Michelle, she’s been the rock Cody’s leaned on, even when all them bright lights and cameras are on him. And I reckon, no matter how far Cody goes, his mama’s love is what’s helped him climb all them ladders and stand tall in that ring.
So next time you watch Cody out there on that mat, just remember, it ain’t just Dusty he’s carryin’ with him—it’s Michelle, too. She’s been there from the start, stitchin’ him up when he’s hurt and standin’ strong when things get tough. That’s the kind of mama she is, and that’s the kind of mama we all need.
