Wrestling: 5 Biggest Talking Points From Talk Is Jericho with The Revolt

Talk Is Jericho seems to be the go-to destination for any wrestling free agent to tell their story. Within the last year alone, Matt Hardy, Brodie Lee and Jon Moxley have all appeared on “The Pod of Thunder and Rock and Roll”.

On this week’s episode of Talk is Jericho, pro wrestling tag team The Revolt, formerly The Revival in WWE, appeared to provide some long-awaited insight on what led to them getting their long-requested releases. Here are the biggest talking points.

Beyond his in-ring career, Dusty Rhodes has a legacy as “The Godfather of NXT” and his wisdom has widely credited as the genesis of many prosperous careers. Therefore, it’s no surprise that on the podcast, Dusty was referred to as their biggest supporter. Cash Wheeler spoke about the name “Dash” coming from Dusty with influence from the name, “Dashing” Cody Rhodes.

Dax Harwood retold a story where two days before Dusty died, he came into the trainer’s room and—in front of Sami Zayn—referred to Harwood as “the best wrestler [they’ve] got bar none”. The chemistry that the former five-time tag team champions had in the ring was all kick-started by Dusty as he encouraged them to “get to know each other and become shadows of each other”.
