WWE Hall of Famer Arn Anderson delved into the details of his unforgettable “Glock” promo with Undisputed WWE Universal Champion Cody Rhodes in AEW, reflecting on the aftermath and his apprehension about potential legal consequences.
In an interview with Busted Open Radio, Anderson shared insight into the inspiration behind the promo and the immediate aftermath upon returning backstage.
Anderson revealed that the promo was a response to the tough times prevalent in the world, aiming to jolt Cody into embodying a particular persona. He described the moment, saying:
I just thought ‘Hey, let’s give them something let’s wake Cody up to what you think he should be’ and that’s where the ‘You take my car, I’ll spill your brains all over the sidewalk.’ How’s that for afternoon delight?
The reaction from Cody and others backstage was vivid, with Anderson recalling:
And when I came back through the curtain, Brock was standing there. His jaw was on the ground. When Tony [Khan] wasn’t there, I thought ‘Okay, I’m fired, again. How many companies are left?’
The fear of legal repercussions was palpable for Anderson, as he expressed concern about potential arrest. Upon receiving the message from Tony Khan that he had been speaking to TNT executives on the phone, he initially braced for the worst, thinking:
Oh, Jesus. Not only that I’m going to get arrested. You know, this is going to get bad.
However, the response he received offered reassurance, as conveyed by Anderson.
He said ‘If it was anybody else, this would be an issue but that this advantage is it’s Arn Anderson.’ And that’s the message I got back.
