AEW superstar and Executive VP Cody Rhodes was asked by a fan on Twitter about the NWA naming their January 24th pay per view after his father’s famous “Hard Times” promo from 1985. The American Nightmare responded with optimism, stating that he’s happy to see Dusty’s continued influence on the sport.

His legacy is really hard to contain and that’s a good thing. Always nice to see his influence on the sport.

Rhodes would later share a photo of himself and the American Dream from 2007 next to a current photo ahead of tonight’s AEW Dynamite from Corpus Christi. He writes, “2007 – 2019. Excited to have our last #AEWDynamite of the year in this arena tonight.” Check it out below.
