More than a year and a half after its unofficial start, the COVID-19 pandemic is in full swing, with new variants of the virus and anti-vaccines kicking the wheels in motion and returning to normal. With major public sports shows and events resuming in the United States, with the risks involved, one wrestler decided to use a video game reference to talk about the need for vaccination.

This is the Kamoulox news of the day for sure. All Elite Wrestling is a booming American wrestling league. On a permanent tour, as with WWE, AEW has to constantly promote its shows in various American cities. And his wrestlers respond to numerous interviews.
In the past few weeks, the AEW shows have welcomed a new audience. And this despite a renewed explosion of COVID-19 cases. One of the league’s founders and, by the way, one of its main stars, Cody Rhodes was recently interviewed about the health situation and what can be done to limit the risks on the AEW shows that the public welcomes.
For him, vaccination is the best way to protect yourself and others from this virus, which affects all population groups. To get his message across with humor, the American wrestler opted for a video game reference … the effectiveness of which he himself doubted:
Recommend vaccinations, answer this question with a Solid Snake /#MetalGearSolid A notice. @CodyRhodes You, sir, are the man! 10 geek points. @DavidBHayter would be proud.

Personally, I think people should get vaccinated. And for the dingoes who think they’re going to be filled with nanomachines (by injecting the vaccine) well … Solid Snake is going to save us anyway … It’s a reference from Metal Gear Solid, I hope people get it to understand.
COVID … has changed
To make the situation even more unusual, David Hayter, the historical voice of Solid Snake, heard these statements and decided to reply to Cody Rhodes on Twitter:
Cody,
I definitely got it.
And I am 100 percent behind your message.
(And outfit.)

Cody,
I clearly understood the hint.
And I support your message (as well as your outfit) 100%.

For your information, Cody Rhodes is a seasoned gamer. In his early days, his wrestling outfit included The Legend of Zelda references. And more recently, he wrestled in a big boss-inspired outfit in Metal Gear Solid V: The Phantom Pain.
As mentioned earlier, Yuke’s is currently developing the first all-elite console wrestling game.
