Cody Rhodes has a unique request for his funeral

Recently, The American Nightmare appeared on Grave Conversations. During the conversation, he spoke about his love for DC comic series Identity Crisis. He revealed that in one funeral scene, everyone showed up in full gear. He expressed wanting the same from his peers and friends when his time comes.

Identity Crisis has one of the greatest funeral scenes of all time because all of them showed up in gimmick, full gear. When my time comes, I want the wrestling world in full gimmick. Bury me in the American Nightmare Sandra Grey robe. Bury me as I was. I spent so much time giving back to pro wrestling and taking from pro wrestling and loving that I got to play a superhero. I’d like to go out a superhero.
