Cody Rhodes highlights Tom Aspinall's athleticism.
Interim UFC Heavyweight Champion Tom Tom Aspinall attended the WWE live event in Manchester, England on October 16, and he had an in-ring moment with Undisputed WWE Champion Cody Rhodes and World Heavyweight Champion Gunther.
In an interview with The Schmo, Cody Rhodes was asked about his moment with Aspinall.
"I love the fact that he was a wrestling fan himself. When you sit backstage and meet everybody and talking about, ‘We might go out and we might do this.’ You never know if they get in that ring and they’re just going to go HAM. The last thing on earth you would want is the Interim UFC Heavyweight Champion decided to go HAM on what you’re doing in the ring. I was very excited that he was just happy to be there and wanted to climb up on the ropes and see all the people. It was really cool from a TKO perspective with the parent company with UFC and WWE to get that photo with myself, Tom, and Gunther all in there. It was a special moment," Rhodes said.
Rhodes was then asked to comment on how he thought Aspinall would potentially do in WWE, and he said that the UFC fighter was "Meat and Potatoes", as he would slug it out. He highlighted Aspinall's athleticism and stated that wrestling would fit him like a glove.
"He is what we’d call Meat and Potatoes. Meat and Potatoes is a lot of slugging it out. A lot of big forearms to the back, a lot of chops, not leaving your feet much. When you’re as big as he is and as athletic as he is, he’s really going to fill that big man spot for pro wrestling. If he was to step in at any point, it would fit like a glove," Aspinall said.
As of this writing, there is no word on if or when Tom Aspinall will get involved in wrestling.
