I remember like a year before he died, I posted a thread asking people what wrestlers did they see dying in the near future and someone said something like "Macho man in a year". I can't remember who said it, but that shit was spot on.

RIP American Dream Dusty Rhodes

 

[jono]

WWE is deeply saddened that Virgil Runnels, aka “The American Dream” Dusty Rhodes — WWE Hall of Famer, three-time NWA Champion and one of the most captivating and charismatic figures in sports entertainment history — passed away today at the age of 69.

Runnels became a hero to fans around the world thanks to his work ethic, his impassioned interviews and his indomitable spirit. Moreover, Runnels was a dedicated father to WWE Superstars Goldust (Dustin Runnels) and Stardust (Cody Runnels), a caring husband and a creative visionary who helped shape the landscape of WWE long after his in-ring career had ended.

WWE extends its sincerest condolences to Runnels’ family, friends and colleagues.

Can a mod change the title of this thread to rip dusty or something, so no one makes a dusty Rhodes thread? Thanks

Saw this on a website:

He was nothing to write home about in the ring, but he was immensely entertaining.

When he signed with the WWF in 1989 (I forget the details why he left, maybe something to do with the NWA/WCW buyout?), Vince McMahon took great pleasure in humiliating Dusty, giving him a terrible gimmick with that godawful yellow polkadot outfit - the message being, "Hey look, one of NWA's top guys looks like a total clown! He can't cut it up here!"

But not only did he get over, he was arguably the 3rd biggest face in the company in 1990 behind Hogan and Warrior. Not even a spiteful Vince could suppress how awesome Dusty was
