Today, I was watching some wrestling videos online, and I stumbled upon the name Cody Rhodes. I knew him, of course, but then I started wondering about his dad. I knew his dad was also a wrestler, a pretty famous one, but I couldn’t recall his name. That’s where the journey began.
First, I typed “Cody Rhodes father” into the search bar. The results popped up instantly. It was Dusty Rhodes, “The American Dream.” I recognized the name immediately, but I wanted to know more about him.
