Dusty Rhodes made a name for himself in Jim Crockett Promotions in the 90s and his battles against Ric Flair never failed to amaze the fans in his heyday. He had a brief stint with WWE in the late 90s after which he returned to WCW to join the promotion's booking team. He went on to turn heel and join the nWo, turning on Larry Zbyszko in the process. Both of Dusty's sons, Cody and Dustin, became professional wrestlers as well.

Cody debuted in WWE in 2007 and soon formed an alliance with Hardcore Holly. He later joined Randy Orton's Legacy and remained a part of the stable until it disbanded in early 2010. Cody did well for himself over the next few years, contrary to Ted Dibiase, the third member of Legacy.

His 'Dashing' Cody Rhodes and "Undashing' Cody Rhodes gimmicks were the highlights of his run. In 2016, he left WWE and went on to compete on the independent scene. He is currently the EVP of All Elite Wrestling and is the promotion's current TNT Champion.
