It's disgusting how WWE won't let Cody use the Rhodes name. Obviously WWE only cared about Dusty when they could use him, bring him out for some silly skit or segment. I get WWE owns a ton of wrestling companies and names and rights but Dusty Rhodes is Dusty Rhodes, a legend that WWF didn't not make and his son deserves the rights he can get. If, big if of course, his son's company knocks WWE down a peg or two it will definitely be them getting just deserts. I remember reading the rights will be up for sale for the merch rights to "Cody Rhodes", which is probably the final hurdle, anyway, later this year. Guessing he buys it then and that'll be that. I'm sure WWE could attempt to renew it, but given they would not do anything with it, and couldn't use his likeness just because they had the name, I don't think they'd do it even for the spite, especially if they would be tempting getting slapped on squatting on the rights. That is probably a thread they don't want tugging on for the potential precedent it could set if they were challenged on it. WWE hold the merchandising rights to "Cody Rhodes" until November. Chances are they'll let them expires, but we all know how petty they can be.
