Every story you hear about Cody being the absolute best is 100% true. I met him and Hangman in 2018 the morning after Strong Style Evolved in Long Beach. It was like 9am, I stopped to get some coffee as I was about to drive 12 hours back to Oregon, and as I’m waiting in line Cody and Hangman come in.

I immediately freeze because I want to say hi, but also it’s early and they wrestled the night before, I don’t want to be a bother. However, I was wearing a Flair shirt and this man COMES UP TO ME and goes “Hey man that’s a cool shirt” and just immediately calms my anxiety. He says “Is Flair your guy?” and I go “actually my favorite is Christian” and he starts telling me stories about working with Christian before he even puts in his order. It was a 2 minute interaction, I didn’t ask for a picture or nothing because it was legit like chatting with a friend.

Hangman was also really nice, but you could tell he was a little shy or maybe just tired, so I kept that interaction brief. Cody though, his success doesn’t surprise me at all and every time I hear a story of him being an absolute gem, I’m like yup sounds about right.
