Cody Rhodes Didn’t Agree With Initial Aspect Of Dusty Rhodes Documentary

WWE

Cody Rhodes is the executive producer of the upcoming A&E Biography documentary about his father Dusty Rhodes.

He recently spoke to Speaking on Hot 97 about the experience of making the documentary and how the American Dreams’ children all had different reflections on life with the legendary wrestling figure that didn’t match his own, saying:

“It’s told through the eyes of his four children. So my sister to my half-sister, Kristen, and, you know, Dustin, vastly different.

“And the hardest thing about it — and I was the executive producer on the documentary, and I really wanted to be fair to everybody.

“The hardest thing about it is there’s an interview he did about two weeks before he passed that I’d never seen.

“He really owns the first part of his life. The second part of his life, my part, was great. Never missed a wrestling match, was the ultimate team dad, did everything he could, and, you know, never gave me those hard conversations, just believed in me fully.

“Dustin and Kristen had a different life, and to see that and see how we have all come together. It’s a very unique way to tell the story.

“I didn’t agree with the way the story was being told until I saw the first cut of it and thought, ‘Yep, that’s this is how it should go.'”

The documentary, according to Rhodes, is due to be released in the week before WrestleMania.

Cody Rhodes also shared a story about Vince McMahon’s reaction to the departure of Dusty Rhodes and his hope to build the company around him.
