Cash Wheeler, formerly known as Dash Wilder, recalled how the name ‘Dash’ was given to him, back when he was in WWE NXT. Wheeler stated that he didn’t like the name, but WWE Hall of Famer Dusty Rhodes liked it a lot. The reason Dusty liked it was because it sounded similar to ‘Dashing’, which was the gimmick his son Cody Rhodes used to don back when he was a part of WWE SmackDown.
The story of ‘Dashing’ Cody Rhodes in WWE
Cash further stated that he never liked the name Dash, but got used to it as time passed. Fans of Cody might remember that he was a member of the SmackDown roster back in 2010-11, and his gimmick was of a narcissistic wrestler who believed that he was the best-looking Superstar in WWE. ‘Dashing’ Cody Rhodes as a heel was a hit among the fans, but the gimmick didn’t last for long. He soon turned into a deranged guy who covered his face with a mask, after getting hit on it by Rey Mysterio in a match. Rhodes got revenge on Mysterio at WrestleMania 27, and defeated him at The Show of Shows.
