Alright, so you wanna know was Dustin Rhodes at WrestleMania 40, huh? Let me tell ya, that’s what everyone’s been yappin’ about. I heard some folks sayin’ they saw him, others sayin’ he wasn’t there. It’s all a big ol’ mess, like tryin’ to catch chickens in a windstorm. But lemme see if I can straighten it out for ya.
First off, you gotta know, WrestleMania 40 was a big deal, happened in Philadelphia. Big city, lots of people. They say Cody Rhodes, that’s Dustin’s brother, you know, he finally won the big shiny belt, the WWE Championship. Took him long enough, I say. Folks were goin’ wild, cheerin’ and hollerin’.
- They say Cody fought real hard.
- He beat that Roman fella, the one with the long hair and the serious face.
- Afterwards, he was celebratin’ with his wife, his mama, his sister, and all sorts of friends.
But, and here’s the thing, Dustin wasn’t nowhere to be seen in them pictures. Now, Dustin, he used to be called Goldust, all painted up and fancy. He’s a wrestler too, just like his brother. But he ain’t workin’ for the same folks as Cody no more. He’s with somethin’ called AEW, somethin’ different. So, folks started wonderin’, was he there or wasn’t he?
Well, I heard tell, from some folks who were there, you know, the ones who sit up high in the seats, they say they saw him. Said he was sittin’ in a box, kinda like them fancy folks do at the horse races. They were all standin’ up and cranin’ their necks to get a look at him. Seems like he was there, but he wasn’t on TV or nothin’. He kept a low profile, like a mouse in a corn crib. Didn’t want to cause no trouble, I guess.
Now, some other folks, they say he couldn’t have been there. Said he’s got a contract with that AEW, and they wouldn’t let him go to a WWE thing. Said it’s like cheatin’ on your husband, you just don’t do it. But wrestling’s a funny business, you know? Things change faster than the weather in spring. One minute you’re fightin’ someone, the next minute you’re shakin’ hands. So, who really knows for sure?
I reckon Dustin wanted to be there for his brother. Family’s family, after all. Even if you’re wrestlin’ for different folks, you still care about your kin. It’s like when my Billy moved to the next town over, we still saw him for Thanksgiving. He probably just wanted to watch Cody win that big belt and give him a hug afterwards, you know, behind the scenes where the cameras ain’t lookin’.
And let me tell ya somethin’ else, that Undertaker fella, he showed up too. Big scary fella, all dressed in black. He gave that Rock fella a good whuppin’. Folks were sayin’ the whole place went dark, and then boom, there he was. Scared the bejesus outta some folks, I bet. But that’s wrestling for ya, always somethin’ excitin’ happenin’.
So, was Dustin Rhodes at WrestleMania 40? Well, I ain’t got no picture of him there, but from what I hear, sounds like he was. He was there quiet-like, supportin’ his brother. Didn’t make a big fuss, didn’t get on TV. Just a brother bein’ there for his brother. And that, I reckon, is all that matters. It’s a family thing, you see? More important than any of that wrestlin’ business.
And that’s the whole story, as best as I can tell ya. WrestleMania 40, Cody winnin’ the belt, the Undertaker scarin’ folks, and Dustin hidin’ in the shadows. It’s a lot to take in, I know. But that’s life, ain’t it? Always somethin’ goin’ on, always somethin’ to talk about. And now you got somethin’ to tell your friends, see? You can tell ‘em you heard it from an old woman who knows a thing or two.
Philadelphia was buzzing, that much is true. They held WrestleMania 40 at Lincoln Financial Field. And even though some folks might say Dustin wasn’t there officially, it seems like he found a way to be there for his brother. That’s what families do, they stick together, even when things get complicated.
So next time you hear someone askin’ “was Dustin Rhodes at WrestleMania 40?” you can tell ‘em what you heard. You can tell ‘em he was there in spirit, if nothin’ else. And that, in my book, is good enough.
