"It's frightening" – Wrestling veteran comments on Cody Rhodes' status in WWE

Former WWE personality Eric Bischoff shared his thoughts on the recent encounter between Cody Rhodes and Seth Rollins.

The American Nightmare stunned the wrestling community at Hell in a Cell as he battled The Visionary despite suffering a torn pectoral muscle. Although Cody won, he was taken out by Seth on the following RAW, which was an angle to write him off TV for surgery.

Bischoff was the latest to shower praise upon Cody for wrestling with the injury. Speaking on the Strictly Business podcast, the former WCW President said Cody's efforts elevated him to a megastar level, and his comeback is going to be highly anticipated:

“I think as bad as his injury was, the fact that Cody went out and had, I don’t know where that match is going to end up in being the all-time great matches of at least the last 20-years, but it needs to be right up there in my opinion. And for Cody to be able to do what he did, even though he’s going to be out for four to six months, whatever it is, people are already anticipating his comeback. There is so much potential there, it’s frightening.” (H/T: wrestlinginc)
