Cody Rhodes once again hopes NXT does his father and Great American Bash justice.
For the second straight year, NXT will hold a special entitled Great American Bash, which was created by Dusty Rhodes in 1985. Cody has often expressed interest in owning the Great American Bash trademark, but it is currently owned by WWE.
Taking to social media, Cody was once again asked for his thoughts on NXT using the name.
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
