Cody v Dustin
Nightmare v Natural, cody is 33 lolol, dustin 50
This notion of bro v bro, is marketable and romantic, but not accurate, it’s generation v generation, put the animal that should be put down, DOWN.
“One last ride (for Dusty)....or is IT?”
Dustin was my hero, but there’s a lazy trope, “the prodigal son”, do you understand the morals and implications of Luke 15
One brother does everything right, works very hard, to keep his family whole, the other whores about, making wrong choices. But it’s the first brother equally wrong, who has an expetancy that he gets what he wants.
Natural v Nightmare isn’t accurate, it’s generation v generation, i’m not here to kill Dustin Rhodes, i’m here to to kill the attitude era, i am tired of getting compared to these guilded guys, you set speedmarkers at 35, some pissant bodybuilder throwing gib cameras compares to a Kenny Okada match? Bra + Pantie Spectacular matches with Evolution, or even Dwayne rhyming is better than Punk on the stage?
When you ride something to death, it dies.
Dust not a new beginning for me, my legacy is intact, 30 years,
