Earlier today, news broke that WWE is re-booting the NWA and WCW classic show, Starrcade. Originally created in 1983 by Dusty Rhodes, the show returns to its roots of Greensboro, North Carolina. Despite all the nostalgia swirling around, the Rhodes family isn't exactly thrilled.

The November 25th event will not be televised as it's only a SmackDown house show. Former WWE superstar and son of The American Dream, Cody Rhodes seems OK with WWE using the Starrcade name but only under one condition.

Cody's wife and former WWE talent Brandi Rhodes was less reserved on the subject and actually seems offended by WWE's actions.

While much of the wrestling community is excited to see the classic show gets reinstalled, some folks think WWE is disrespecting the show's history.
