Former WWE Superstar Cody Rhodes is reportedly headed to TNA soon.

Dave Meltzer spoke with Cody at Pro Wrestling Guerrilla's Battle of Los Angeles this weekend. Cody has a deal in place with TNA and is planning on working for both TNA and Ring of Honor but won't be under contract to either.

Cody is apparently planning on feuding with Mike Bennett in TNA after the two recently worked together in Northeast Wrestling. Brandi Rhodes, the former Eden, has been doing some of Cody's ring announcing on the indies and it sounds like she may appear in TNA as well, perhaps in a mini-feud with Bennett's wife Maria Kanellis.

Sweet deal for Cody, if true.

Saw where they picked up Sandow and hated it, because TNA has a roster full of great talkers. They have 20 Sandows on the roster already, they don't have workers you want to see face each other.
Cody's a pretty kick-ass wrestler, but I don't think he's to the level where "Rhodes vs EC3" suddenly becomes interesting TV though, and that's the problem

Eh. This might be the thing that makes me want to tune in to TNA.

In all honesty, literally the only reason i dont watch TNA is cause of Josh Matthews on commentary. He's god awful and i cant sit through matches with him there. Some might say "well thats a lame reason not to watch" but i dont care. Matthews is that bad.

Back on topic, ive always been a Cody fan so ill probably tune in from time to time.

If Ric Flair couldn't get me to watch TNA again, then Cody Rhodes stands no chance of accomplishing it.

Hypothetically speaking, is there a star that'd make you tune in to TNA? For me it'd be Cena, Roman Reigns, Seth Rollins and maybe Daniel Bryan to see what he's doing. (CM Punk too if he still wrestled)

I'd turn in for CM Punk probably. Dixie's exodus is a positive thing in my mind but when I turned in the other day, watching Billy Corgan as a on screen character was very painful. It would take a lot of work to get me invested into again. I'd watch for Punk though out of curiosity.

Oh boy, a feud with Mike Bennett, that'll put butts in seats!

Really the only times I'll watch is when Cody first debuts and if he interacts with Matt Hardy. TNA does so poorly with their roster that I couldn't give any less of a shit about anyone else they have so Cody going there wouldn't make me a TNA fan again.

I need a Cody vs. Lashley match, for the championship, in a battle of the lisps match!

Can't wait for his promo about how he was misused and forced to be someone he's not and now he's finally free like every fired WWE promo.

I hope to god that he doesn't cut a promo similar to the cliched ex-WWE promos.

And to answer the question above, I enjoy TNA for what it is, and I know that they'll misuse/misbook almost everyone there or any of the people listed. But my standards are low and have sat through 2 hours of god awful TV to watch Trevor Lee and Andrew Everett.

When I was watching TNA earlier this year, Trevor Lee was unwatchable. Has he gotten any more interesting?

TNA killed BFG to get Cody. Great banter
