Gimmick Infringement

I just finished an incredible episode about Fred Hampton, and I have to say, it was eye-opening! At the end, they played one of his powerful speeches, and it hit me—Dusty Rhodes definitely drew inspiration from him for his interview style. As a lifelong wrestling fan, it’s fascinating to see how Dusty “borrowed” elements from the black community and other wrestlers. The cadence and delivery match perfectly!

I think a dollop on either Dusty Rhodes or Roddy Piper be really intriguing? Sure, Ric Flair could top the list, but with so many documentaries already out there on him, it feels less impactful. Let’s shine a light on some of the other legends!
