He competed in IWA Mid-South, Beyond Wrestling, St. Louis Anarchy, and other top promotions for years, but seemed stuck in tag team matches or lower card. For a while, he was more known for going viral over <a href=\"https:\/\/www.prowrestling.com\/indie-wrestler-mouth-split-open-freak-accident-finishes-match-warning-graphic-photos\/\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">tearing his mouth on the turnbuckle<\/a> in 2018 than he was any of his matches.

He&#8217;s had 35 title defenses in the seven months he held the belt before the COVID pandemic put a hold on live indie wrestling. But his fans clearly haven&#8217;t forgotten about him. Led by the patched jean jacket Horatio Horns-thrower on a steel dragon of destiny, the Warhorse stampede has just begun, with fans joining in the crusade to get AEW&#8217;s &#8211; and more specifically Cody Rhodes&#8217; &#8211; attention.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">Cody stop ducking Warhorse<\/p>\n<p>&mdash; Cats just in Space (@Catsinspace1991) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/Catsinspace1991\/status\/1272310898049331200?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">June 14, 2020<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">You fucked up, Cody.<br \/>WARHORSE RULES ASS! <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/zXaJToqGSb\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">https:\/\/t.co\/zXaJToqGSb<\/a><\/p>\n<p>&mdash; GhostVonDracula (@GhostVonDracula) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/GhostVonDracula\/status\/1272465788507525121?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">June 15, 2020<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><\/p>\n<p>https:\/\/twitter.com\/TheThinkingMac1\/status\/1272593842647248899<\/p>\n<p>https:\/\/twitter.com\/deebow\/status\/1272641714251915264<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">Browsing through wrestling Twitter and every time I see <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/JPWARHORSE?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">@JPWARHORSE<\/a> name, Cody been mentioned and Cody never responds<\/p>\n<p>So it is apparent, Cody is afraid of WARHORSE!<\/p>\n<p>&mdash; Reaper (@The_Reaper_719) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/The_Reaper_719\/status\/1272655002914430978?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">June 15, 2020<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">WARHORSE if Cody decides to stop hiding from him.<\/p>\n<p>&mdash; Wrestley Crusher (@WrestleBug) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/WrestleBug\/status\/1272677194033016839?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">June 15, 2020<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><\/p>\n<p>https:\/\/twitter.com\/JensenCollins3\/status\/1272698515513278465<\/p>\n<p>https:\/\/twitter.com\/GamgwarOmega\/status\/1272754726384304131<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\"><a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/CodyRhodes?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">@CodyRhodes<\/a> Im not sure why your ducking <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/JPWARHORSE?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">@JPWARHORSE<\/a> but that is NOT WISE MY DUDE!
