Tonight’s NXT will see the return of the classic Great American Bash theme for the second year in a row, and once again wrestling fans are asking Cody Rhodes how he feels about the situation. Rhodes’ father, “The American Dream” Dusty Rhodes, first created the concept for the event in 1985 for Jim Crockett Promotions but the copyright for the show now belongs to WWE. Rhodes made a subtle nod to it with his merchandise when the show was revived last year and Dusty’s daughter Teil openly called the company out last year. But when asked this time around, Rhodes tweeted that there was no ill will.
Business is business. They have the rights to many of Dusty’s greatest creations. My hope is that they do them justice and I will never be bitter about his legacy being honored and a whole new generation seeing he was a genius w/lasting concepts. https://t.co/vKSoyTZCdm
