Cody Rhodes Is the Future (and Past) of Professional Wrestling

Beautiful article by the ringer

Cody Rhodes lived and worked in the shadow of his father, Dusty Rhodes, one of the greatest professional wrestlers who ever lived. Now he’s carving his own path in his father’s memory.

Michelle directed Dusty’s doctors to discontinue medical care, surrounded by his family. By then, he was so bloated from the medication that he barely resembled himself. “This isn’t my husband,” Michelle would say each time someone new entered the room, whereupon she’d reveal a photograph of them together as proof. Then she made a request. Out went their children and spouses, the nieces and nephews — including, finally, Cody himself. The medical staff helped her detach the IVs and tubes from Dusty’s body, and then everyone but a single nurse left, too.

There, nearly alone in that room, Michelle Runnels washed the body of her husband of almost 37 years.


“I’m an old Southern woman,” she says. “We bathe our dead.”

A beautifully written article

I'm legit glad Cody has taken a shot at promoting. Something about Triple H and Vince plundering his dad's legacy for the odd special match, or ratings bump doesn't really sit right with me.

I genuinely hope 'All In' is a success

You guys think he'll get the title run when/if he returns to the E? It would be fuvkin stupid if they don't do it. Dude's heel run is

A title run in the vein of Dolph, Jack Swagger, Punk's first run, etc, sure. A true top guy push? Doubt it.

You know how petty Vince can be - I wouldn't bet on it.

I saw either Gallows or Anderson tweeting that The Young Bucks owed it to themselves to join the 'E recently

I literally read it like "These 'misery loves company' motherfukkers.... "

Why go be a worker for a corporation when you could be the boss of your own smaller shop?
