DUSTY RHODES JOINING WWE CREATIVE TEAM

"American Dream” Dusty Rhodes was a guest on this week’s WWE ByteThis! internet show and made some major announcements regarding his status and future with WWE:

- He is signed to a Legends contract and has verbally agreed to work with WWE’s Creative Team.

- He’s very close to signing on the dotted line and that “[officially] signing with WWE is just a formality”. He met with WWE’s current Creative Team and sees this as a great opportunity to work with the young minds at WWE and to contribute his own style and philosophies to the product.

- This is a chance for him to really see what’s going on in the industry. Dusty used a phrase which I read Jimmy Hart use on WWE.com, and that was - the future is the past. He thinks the business has evolved too much and things need to be brought back to basics. Today’s product shouldn’t be radically different than what it was 10 years ago - it should be an updated version of the basic principles that have stood for decades and made wrestling great. He spoke passionately about the business as a whole and that there are several things that need to be changed. He sounded excited at the opportunity to work with WWE in its current state, which clearly has a lot of work that needs to be done.

- Dusty spoke very highly of Stephanie, saying she is a lot like her father in her understanding of the business.

- This is an opportunity, some of which come later in life than others, to play again for the Yankees. The Yankees are the greatest franchise in the history of sports and World Wrestling Entertainment is the greatest company in the history of sports entertainment. WWE is a tremendous, huge company.

- One thing he wants to do before he retires is wrestle Ric Flair at a houseshow one more time. He said he didn’t care if it was only a 1-night thing, but he seemed to be very excited about the chance to face Flair before he officially retired.

Overall it was a very good interview and Dusty seems hungry to prove himself. There are not many bookers around today with more experience than Dusty and it’s clear he has a vision for how to turn things around for WWE


Not sure if this is old news. Here's hoping his vision for the WWE is nowhere close to his vision of TNA.

And to everyone, no matter what religion you are, remember that only one is right- so lets have a war!

Ok a serious question

While booking TNA what did Dusty do that was so bad?

I know he pushed Chris Daniels and AJ Styles so I know it couldn't have been that bad.

I'm pretty sure Dusty was gone by then, but putting the title on Raven booking wise is terrible idea since he jobbed to everyone in the months before he won the title.

That'd be quite funny. Bischoff could do his 'disgusted face routine' and his usual 'do you know who I am' rant. Classic television.

Seriously? Well, he actually didn't push those two until the very end of his run, instead running storylines where guys like Nash, DDP, and his son Dustin were at the top of the card. He made the decision to have Jarrett beat Raven to end their feud when Raven was wildly over. There was that decision to push Shocker. The X Division was actually de-emphasized while he was in charge. He repetedly ran his famous 'Dusty finish' and 'wild brawl.no finish' to end matches.
Basically just a lot of the same outdated ideas he would throw together when he booked for NWA/WCW.

Oh...and of course having himself as a major on-screen character. Another Dusty trademark.

I'm actually wondering why you're confused as to what he did wrong? Has TNA for any extended time in the last 18 months or so been very enjoyable? When you're the head of the booking team, then Dusty ha to take the blame for that.

It was pretty much the same formula for TNA's main event in the last 12 months.

Step one - New face arrives
Step two - New face taunts Jarrett
Step three - Jarrett accepts challenge
(optional Step three and a half - Jarrett recruits other heel to beat on new face)
Step four - Jarrett beats face in PPV thanks to Guitar shot
Step five - New faces arrives

Wasn't it Dusty that took the title off of JJ?
Styles looked like a fucking joke, winning shittily and then jobbing to a hasbeen.

That's worth watching? You're a bigger fanboy than Loose Cannon.

Like Styles had been built like a winner before that.

YOu forgot a step.

The X Division was actually de-emphasized while he was in charge. He repetedly ran his famous 'Dusty finish' and 'wild brawl.no finish' to end matches.
Basically just a lot of the same outdated ideas he would throw together when he booked for NWA/WCW.

Oh...and of course having himself as a major on-screen character. Another Dusty trademark.

I'm actually wondering why you're confused as to what he did wrong? Has TNA for any extended time in the last 18 months or so been very enjoyable? When you're the head of the booking team, then Dusty ha to take the blame for that.


Thank you for updating me and I did forget about Dustin being up in the main even so yes I can see why Dusty was a bad booker.

And KK when it comes to AJ Styles I don't care how he is booked beacuse I am an AJ fanboy and I will watch Styles no matter how poorly booked he was. Which was pretty poor

That'd be step 5, with the current step 5 becoming 6.

Not that you needed to tell me that. I could guess you were a fanboy already.

Now the real question in my mind is, what difference does it make that Dusty "pushed" him then, since the push was shit and you're a fanboy anyway?

Dusty: We need to elaborate, if you weel, on the ramifications of dis match. Tripul Aych and John Ceena, to mastuhs of thuh gaym, if you weel. Two boys, at da top of deyah game, looking to get funky like a monkey, tryin to get to dat pay winduh on dah Mothaship, Monday Night Raw.

King: I never thought that I would find a day that I would meet someone I could understand better than JR...

Has Dusty ever faced flair?
==========================
Step one - New face arrives
Step two - New face taunts Jarrett
Step three - Jarrett accepts challenge
Step four - Jarrett beats face in PPV thanks to New talent that joined Jarret
Step five - Fans stop watching

It was a bit wrong.
