WWE Hall of Famer Bully Ray (Bubba Ray Dudley) appeared on an episode of Busted Open Radio, where he talked about a number of topics including what might happen to the fans’ reaction if CM Punk and Cody Rhodes end up competing against each other at a WrestleMania.
Ray said, “As a Punk fan, there is nothing that he can do or say that would make you turn on him, yes, or no? A good wrestler can get you to hate them. No matter how much they love you, you can get them to hate you. As a matter of fact, the more they love you the easier it should be to get them to hate you. However, I don’t know of anybody else there that can do it. I think people are going to firmly be behind Punk. I think Cody’s hatred from a storyline point of view could be living in the shadow of Dusty [Rhodes], that ‘no matter what I ever did, I had to live in this shadow, and no matter what I did by you people it was never good enough.’ There is so much turmoil that lies deep inside Cody’s guts, and it’s just gonna take the right person to bring it out and one day we’re gonna get there.”
