10 Fascinating Secret Wrestling Connections You Definitely Missed
4. If It Wasn't For The Bionic Elbow, There'd Be No People's Elbow
Long before he was on the verge of potentially delaying his son's never-ending story, The Rock took inspiration from the mighty Dusty Rhodes.
'The People's Champion' would note on Instagram in the wake of Dusty's passing in July 2015 that not only did Rhodes inspire and mentor him over the years, he also helped inspire him to create his own super entertaining elbow of destruction after admiring the 'Bionic Elbow' growing up.
Now sure, Rhodes' elbow may have been delivered whilst standing up, whereas The Rock's saw 'The Great One' crash his down on a rival after running the ropes. But the theatrical set-up and end result of the crowd losing their minds were both similarly electric.
So, if Rocky does end up nicking Cody's spot at the upcoming 'Show of Shows' and finds a way to nail his cousin with 'The Most Electrifying Move In Sports Entertainment', just know that Dusty's spirit will still be secretly connected to the Titanic moment.
