Tromatagon Posted June 11, 2015 Share Posted June 11, 2015 Today is one of those days where I seriously thought "I have to stop checking the internet before I find out another celebrity I've enjoyed my whole life died" Dusty Rhodes was the fucking shit. If you disagree, fuck you. That's really the best way I can put it. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If there is a person on the planet who doesn't like Dusty Rhodes, I don't want to meet them. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nate Posted June 11, 2015 Share Posted June 11, 2015 My dad is as far away from the internet as a human being can get in this day and age. I feel like I need to call and tell him the news. And I just can't. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
caley Posted June 11, 2015 Share Posted June 11, 2015 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ND4zLt5YctI Beautiful and overlooked promo of his, RIP Dream. The part at the end where his voice cracks as he says all he needs is a kiss and a hug. Damn, gets me every time. So, what was officially Dusty's last match? Did he wrestle in his own fed? Was it the WCW match with his son? Was it the match with Corino (Which I love!)? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Buy Me a Burrito Posted June 11, 2015 Share Posted June 11, 2015 So great. Overlooked in how great he was. I said on my Facebook page a little while ago that he could be a technical wrestler, a ass kicking brawler and a clown in the same match and you believed every one of them. I'm sadder about this than I should be. I loved the Dream and it was one of my goals just to meet him and shake his hand. Loved the guy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cobra Commander Posted June 11, 2015 Share Posted June 11, 2015 So, what was officially Dusty's last match? Did he wrestle in his own fed? Was it the WCW match with his son? Was it the match with Corino (Which I love!)? He worked Randy Orton in a bull rope match. But I'm pretty sure he worked some Indy stuff after that too Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Uncle Coaster Posted June 11, 2015 Share Posted June 11, 2015 There was a legends show in Waynesboro, VA October 30, 2004. Dusty wrestled Kamala and after the match he took a bow, said some words and played to the crowd for awhile in a way that still give me chills just thinking about it. Having grown up in Pennsylvania, it was so awesome to be in a packed Virginia high school watching Dusty be Dusty. Dusty was the definition of a legend.

Ramsey Posted June 11, 2015 Share Posted June 11, 2015 Before Hogan, before the Rock, there was Dusty Rhodes. I can't think of one worker in the history of the business that could fire up a crowd with nothing but a microphone and a wink of a blue eye like The Dream. One of the greats of all time. RIP Dusty Rhodes 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fuzzy Dunlop Posted June 11, 2015 Share Posted June 11, 2015 Man, genuinely kinda gutted about this. Best promo in the history of wrestling and if charisma could be measured on a scale, he'd be right at the fucking top of that scale. If wrestling consisted of just Dusty Rhodes promos and nothing else, it'd still be fucking awesome. Even when he made appearances in WWE in the last 10 years or so he still made me smile like when he was all to Vince 'NOBODY cracks whip with the American Dream...not even you.' The son of a humble plumber who was digging a ditch at 8 years old and grew up to set the wrestling world on fire. That's the American Dream, daddy.

Curt McGirt Posted June 11, 2015 Share Posted June 11, 2015 I think EdA put it best. I don't believe in an afterlife, but if there is one, the best version of it is Big Dust and Captain Redneck getting hammered again and busting up the bar. RIP. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ingrsco Posted June 11, 2015 Share Posted June 11, 2015 This seems very surreal to me. Dusty didn't feel like someone who should ever die, as weird as that may sound. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Greggulator Posted June 11, 2015 Share Posted June 11, 2015 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ND4zLt5YctI Beautiful and overlooked promo of his, RIP Dream. Best part about this is when the crowd goes ape and Dusty hold up his hand for them to go silent like a Gospel preacher (which he sort of was). And he has them so wrapped up they follow his lead. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
