The announced attendance at the Prudential Center in Newark, NJ for WWE’s Backlash pay-per-view event was 14,724. We believe that was just short of a sellout.
Following an exchange about the American Dream, Goldust asked Matt Hardy to throw him into the Lake of Reincarnation. You can see the back and forth below, which started when Hardy said he was the “dream of America.” That led to Goldust making reference to his father “The American Dream” Dusty Rhodes and one thing led to another, as you can see below:

I’d NEVAH compare my MORTAL VESSEL to the MAGNITUDE of the LEGENDARY Dusty Rhodes..
My ESSENCE represents the specific CONCEPT & TERM that the man Virgil Runnels based his identity off of..
I was referring to The American Dream, the national ETHOS of The States that are United. https://t.co/KMehPzlCKQ
