Cody Rhodes Remembers His Father Going Into RAW, Heath Slater Appreciation Day, PTP Photo

By DailyWrestlingNews.com on September 28, 2015

– Cody Rhodes (Stardust) has written a very good blog on his wife Eden’s website as he prepares for tonight’s WWE RAW in Buffalo, the same place where he and brother Goldust did the angle with their father Dusty Rhodes back at Battleground 2013 against The Shield. The blog about his father is titled “The Last Bionic Elbow” and can be read at this link. He closed the blog with this:

“As I wrap this up, I want fans of his to know…we had a memorial service for Dad. A memorial service, not a funeral. I wouldn’t…my family wouldn’t allow that. Because what he stood for isn’t gone. How he stood for it isn’t gone. The idea that you can do anything, no matter what deficit you begin at…that your critics and naysayers can stand in your way…but you can clench that fist and raise it to the sky and deliver your own “Bionic Elbow” and keep moving down your path. It’s not an idea, it’s a dream. Virgil Runnels passed away. “The American Dream” still lives.”

– After fans on social media recently held “Appreciation Days” for Damien Sandow and Naomi, today they are holding “Heath Slater Appreciation Day.” Slater is re-tweeting many of the comments, including these:

One of few " entertain " wrestlers in WWE definitely deserve at least a shirt in @WWEShop @HeathSlaterOMRB #SlaterAppreciationDay
