Last summer the wrestling world mourned the loss of a true legend with the passing of the ‘American Dream’ Dusty Rhodes. This year, WWE unveiled a statue honoring the Dream during Thursday’s WrestleMania Axxess.
Here’s a look at the unveiling.

WWE has previously honored Bruno Sammartino, Andre The Giant and The Ultimate Warrior with similar statues. And Seth Rollins, although that didn’t end well.
