Dusty Rhodes in Showdown with Acclaim

Acclaim Entertainment has today announced that "The American Dream" Dusty Rhodes will appear in Showdown: Legends of Wrestling, which is currently scheduled for release in April 2004. A professional wrestler for more than 30 years, Rhodes was a three-time National Wrestling Alliance (NWA) heavyweight champion, and fans will be pleased to hear that his Showdown arsenal will include the trademark "bionic elbow" move.

"We're excited to add one of wrestling's greatest champions, "The American Dream" Dusty Rhodes, to our expanding dream roster of wrestling legends," said David Knies, brand director for Acclaim. "Through Showdown's era-based career mode fans can relive "The American Dream's" rise through the '70s and '80s and can re-create his classic feuds and battles against some of the biggest names in the history of professional wrestling."
