Okay, back in the day, Dusty Rhodes had a good relationship with the McMahons, the when Crockett was becoming big and Dusty was booker, business wise I could see wanting to crush competition and feel that NWA at the time was a threat.
This being said, I personally like the angle of the Rhodes vs. McMahons but there's a point that storylines go to far. Am I the ONLY one that thought the idea of beating up a 68 year old man was in poor taste? Dusty is a legend in the business, but storyline or no storyline, things could have been handled better than letting kids (their target audience) think it's okay to hit an old man.
Codey and Dustin (who wrestled better than ever on that comeback) could use other members in the back or bring back DiBiase, and other generational wrestlers to fight.
Bottom line, great story, but hitting an old man is in poor taste.
