Cody Rhodes On If WWE Should Do Starrcade Again
former ROH World Champion Cody [Rhodes] was recently interviewed on SiriusXM's Busted Open program. Cody talked about what he admired most about his father, the late great Dusty Rhodes. Also, Cody shared his thoughts on WWE's Starrcade live event in November.
According to Cody, he admired Dusty for 'The Dream''s abilities as a promoter above all else. Cody suggested that this quality of his father may explain his own interest in funding a 10,000-seat venue along with The Young Bucks.
"It was in me that you take this game we're all involved in and you take wrestling and you leave it better than you found it. And my dad, everyone knows, yeah, three-time world champion. He was a great wrestler, but the part about my dad that I admired the most was his ability to promote, his sense for the big events. And, I don't know, maybe it was in my bones all along and I didn't know, but there's nothing to be afraid of in 2017, in 2018. What is there to be afraid of?"
With respect to Starrcade, Cody said it was his brother Dustin's moment, as Dustin wrestled as 'The Natural' instead of his longstanding WWE character, Goldust.
"I was really proud of Dustin. [Bully] know[s] more than anybody because [has has] seen we have a unique relationship. I love my brother and that was his moment and I have a tendency to want to make stuff about me a lot because Dusty is also my dad. But that was Dustin's moment and he got to live it, do it, and I'm very proud of him."
Cody added, "I was really proud of Dustin. If they never do that again, I was glad he got to do that."
In Cody's view, WWE should do Starrcade again and it should be on the WWE Network.
"I hope they do Starrcade again and I hope they realize from the response it got it should be on the Network. It definitely created enough waves and just goodwill. It should be on the Network for sure."

FLOSPORTS VS. WWN LAWSUIT UPDATE, WWN LAUNCHES STREAMING SERVICE
WWN filed a new motion against the amended lawsuit that Flosports has brought
against them, again requesting the lawsuit being dismissed, citing that the suit
was filed in a venue (Texas) that lacks jurisdiction over WWNLive. It was very
much the same filing thay had been shot down due to the amended complaint,
arguing that the case should not be heard in Texas since Flosports were doing
business with WWN in Florida, that the WWN business records and bank accounts
are in the Sunshine State and that their only dealings in Texas were WWN
President Sal Hamaoui traveling to Texas in October 2016 and January 2017, the
first trip to meet with Flosports during the courtship period and the latter to
sign the deal. WWN has yet to filed their expected counter-suit against
Flosports.
The company today announced their own streaming "WWN CLUB" service as well on the WWNLive.com website for $9.99 a month, allowing users complete access to events from eight different brands under the WWN umbrella, including EVOLVE, SHINE, Dragon Gate USA, FIP and Style Battle. The subscription will also allow 50% off iPPV orders going forward to specific events streaming live. Those events will then be added to the Club service two weeks later for VOD streaming. They will also be doing a point system that will reward those who make purchases with free content and discounts.
