Ty for ur continued support! I consider myself a great wrestler and performer and only want 1 thing left to do in this business! My brother cody rhodes! I want him at WM29 1on 1 ! Now alot of people including vince dont want this or think this will work but i say BULLSH*T! I dont know why the pwers that be wont let me , goldust, have his last curtain call with his brother. Is it politics? Probably. But whatever the reason is in my opinion its wrong! If anyone is able to make this match work it me!
