WWE hall of famer “Superstar” Billy Graham posted on Facebook:

COMEDY AND DEATH

Last Monday night, December 26th, I took a break from painting
and watched a little TV. RAW came up so I stopped to see what was
happening. The backstage segment with Goldust, R-Truth, Luke
Gallows, Karl Anderson and Bayley had just started. Bayley, with
all of the working emotion she could pull up was giving Goldust a
Dusty Rhodes-themed stuffed animal. Telling Goldust how much she
LOVED Dusty. The American Dream’s son Goldust, tried to get a few
sniffles going while clutching the stuffed doll. Gallows and Anderson
burst into the scene and one of them grabs the doll. I honestly don’t
know who is Anderson and who is Gallows, that is how impressed I am with them, nothing personal, I am just not impressed enough with them to know who is who. One of them then proceeds to rip the head off the Dusty Rhodes stuffed doll and they both start laughing and walk off the set. Very funny to be making a joke off a dead WWE icon, The American Dream, who had more charisma than the entire WWE roster put together.

Cody Rhodes tweeted that “He was not gonna say something
mean or blow a whistle” about this segment. He wont, but I will. It made me totally nauseated and was the ultimate in disrespect to the man, not only to one of the greatest performers ever in the business of pro wrestling. I also think that the writer who came up with this disrespectful segment is a total piece of shit and should be fired for getting away with having the WWE air this disgusting segment. How low will the WWE continue to go is the question? I personally don’t want to see.

RIP Dusty who passed away on June 11, 2015.

Superstar Billy Graham
