DiBiase praises Rhodes:

Ted Jr. says Cody will do fine outside of WWE...

"He has an incredible mind for the business. He loves it. He has more passion for this industry that anybody I know. He constantly, still to this day, watches old tapes. He wanted it so bad, and he would go above and beyond. He would pitch more ideas, and they would be homeruns. He would keep pitching, and [WWE] would turn them down. That's what is so hard about this industry. Even if you go above and beyond, even if you are capable, it doesn't matter. It's not like a sales position, where you are working commission and the more you sell, the more money you make. In this industry, it's not like that, because you can put in the most time, you can put in the most pitches, you can be the biggest guy, you can have the best mic skills. But if it doesn't all add up on the right day at the right time, in front of the right person, it will not happen."
