Although the wrestlers themselves do the majority of the heavy lifting, there are lots of other roles inside WWE that play an element in developing a match. Sitting down together on “What Do You Wanna Talk About?,” WWE champions Cody Rhodes and Liv Morgan shared a few of their thoughts on producers.
“No, I like all of them,” Morgan said after Rhodes asked her to call a favourite producer. “Despite the fact that everyone works in a different way and has a distinct style, I just feel like there’s something still to learn in that, and it may not be exactly what I assumed but, also, I do not think I do know higher.”
Morgan stated that she’s even had experiences where a producer gave her some advice that she didn’t think would work for her, but she tried it and wound up realizing that they were correct. Not wanting to single out any individual, the WWE Women’s Champion reiterated that she enjoys working with the entire company’s producers, but after being pressed further by Rhodes, Morgan admitted that former onscreen wrestler Tyson Kidd is someone who she turns to for advice.
“Even when he isn’t doing my match, … I’ll try something on the Performance Center … and he’ll at all times give me feedback,” Morgan stated.
Cody Rhodes shares his ‘least favorite’ and ‘most fun’ WWE producers
Rhodes then revealed that he has a “least favorite” producer: “Hurricane” Gregory Helms. After clarifying that Helms is, the truth is, an “exceptional” producer and crediting him for training Logan Paul, the WWE star offered an evidence for his distrust.
“He got me so bad, as a rib would go, and a rib that nobody would know is a rib,” Rhodes said. “Sometimes people bring me my dad’s clothes they usually think I would like to wear them and – no. Hey, that was his, and I don’t desire it, either. … He had me, in Japan, placed on this giant Dusty robe and this goofy hat.”
It was implied that the outfit didn’t have anything to do with Rhodes’ late father, with Helms as an alternative convincing Rhodes to decorate up within the outrageous fit as a prank in front of Japanese fans, including quite a few children.
One other producer Rhodes brought up was WWE Hall of Famer Molly Holly. In keeping with Rhodes and Morgan, Holly is not shy about offering criticism when needed, which they each agreed was a robust asset for her role.
“I like all our producers,” Rhodes said. “I believe essentially the most fun producer to work with, sometimes, might be Abyss, because he’s almost in that match with you. He’s so stressed, so excited.”
