Emiliano Arteaga trained at the Cody Rhodes Wrestling Academy — one of the most respected pro wrestling schools in the country — and today he’s breaking down four decades of WWE/WWF history with us. On this episode of Say More!, we go deep on the golden era of WWF (1980-2002) through the current WWE product, ranking the Top 10 Legends and Top 10 Current Superstars, unpacking the real story behind Cody Rhodes and Dustin “Goldust” Rhodes, their legendary father Dusty Rhodes, and why CM Punk needed Randy Orton’s help to beat Cody at SummerSlam. We also get into the wrestling storylines that became real life — Triple H and Stephanie McMahon, Edge and Lita — and why Cody Rhodes and Brandi’s relationship stands out in an industry built on kayfabe. From 1-2-3 Kid to The Undertaker’s tombstone to Rick Rude’s physique, this is a deep-dive conversation for anyone who grew up on WWF Saturday mornings or still watches every Monday Night Raw. Full episode, no filter, say more.
