► Another last minute change
“Fighting with Cody was great, he is a good guy and a great fighter. That day they were changing our time all afternoon, how long we had for combat. That if 15 minutes, then 10, then 12 … they didn't stop changing it. We were the stellar combat of the NXT program, and it was live. Cody came out first. I think it was Lilian García who announced. I just remember listening, 'Cody Rhodes!' Then (John) laurinitis tells me: 'Hey Chico, come here.' 'What's happening?' 'I need two commercial cuts'. Originally, I was going to beat Cody. For whatever reason, I was still scheduled to win, but instead of the 12 or 15 minutes we had, now we were going to have three segments, because they canceled whatever they were going to do later. We went from having 12-15 minutes to have three blocks. Cody had no idea, he was already outside preparing mentally for the time we thought we had. I leave, I make my entrance, the referee approaches me, I say: 'Tell Cody that this is the first cut and this the second.' The referee goes and talks to Cody. From the other side of the ring I listen to Cody say: 'What fuck?'.
«We are moving forward in the fight, Cody and I had good chemistry, there was no panic. We were well, we were simply going to work. We do everything and get to the comings. I was supposed to beat Cody. He was selling for me, I am in the Comeback, I grab him to do the PlayMaker and the referee tells me: 'Vince says Cody wins! Vince says Cody wins! '. There were seconds to end the program, live. I am about to execute my final movement. This fight was over. And from under my leg I listen to Cody: 'What fuck?' I just say: 'Cody, reverse this, Cross Rhodes.' He reacted at the moment, made the reverse, applied the Cross Rhodes, 1, 2, 3, Cody Wins.
«We return after racks. Vince takes away the headphones and is dying of laughter. (Mimics Vince's laugh). For him it was the funniest thing in the world. It seemed hilarious. If we had shit it, it would not be laughing. It wouldn't have seemed funny at all. That is why I tell young children: 'They have to learn to work.' I remember it was upset. Vince was laughing, I wasn't laughing. I remember that I even told Vince Sarcastic. I don't remember exactly what it was, but it was something type: 'tell the other fools to do that', something like that. I was angry. I did not explode, but I said enough to express: 'To shit with that.' Vince laughed as if nothing. I always quote that story as an example of the importance of knowing how to work live. “
