- I can’t believe it. Brodie Lee was a friend. A brother. I cherish the times on the road, in the ring & sharing a beer on my porch. Most importantly, he was an amazing father who loved his children dearly. My thoughts & prayers are with the entire Huber family. #RIPBrodieLee
- Dear young wrestlers, Don’t allow your happiness to be based on your success in the business. Find happiness outside the business and allow wrestling to be what it is... simply the coolest job in the world. Sincerely, Cody Deaner
- I did some extra work during the WWE-ECW era when Sabu was there. It was a time when the extras walked on eggshells & were rarely spoken to. Sabu changed in our locker room rather than the main roster. And spent most of the day talking to the young extras. A heart of gold.
- Dear young wrestlers, Take the time to appreciate & thank the non-wrestlers at your next event. I didn’t give these people enough recognition early in my career (announcers, music guys, backstage helpers). Without these people, the place you’re working simply wouldn’t exist.
- Dear young wrestlers, Thank your referee. They’re the 3rd person in any match. A good one can make a good match GREAT. A bad one can make a good match AWFUL. If you got a good one, shake their hand. Appreciate them. And recognize they’re one of the hardest workers on any card.
- Dear young wrestlers, Wear kneepads. You (and your knees) will thank me in 20 years. Sincerely, Cody Deaner
- Dear young wrestlers, Don’t take yourself too seriously. But, take the wrestling business very seriously. Sincerely, Cody Deaner
- Dear young wrestlers, Develop a thick skin. Your goal is likely to be successful. And the more successful you become, the more haters will come out of the woodwork. Focus on the positive. Not the negative. Stay true to yourself & ignore the hate. Sincerely, Cody Deaner
- It pays to hangout at the library. This story is pretty wild. It starts with me pretty certain the man I recognized at a computer is Bob Backlund. It ends with that man going out to his car to gift me with an autographed copy of his book. Full Story: instagram.com/p/CnxHgIKpeN5/…
- 16 years ago, on the #Thanksgiving edition of @wwe #Smackdown, I answered @RealKurtAngle’s “Hometown Invitational” challenge I got a stiff kick in the mouth, an Angle Slam on top of my head & a wicked ankle lock My 1st big break in the biz (I still owe you a receipt Kurt😉)
