It was a sad day for wrestling fans around the world after WWE announced on Thursday that wrestling legend, Virgil Runnels, aka “The American Dream” Dusty Rhodes passed on at the age of 69.
The WWE Hall of Famer was a popular figure in the ring in the 70s and 80s. A three-time NWA champions, Dusty wowed the audience with his colourful outfits and hard hitting style.
A master of the microphone, the wrestling legend continued to make his mark in the business long after his retirement with his colourful commentaries and interviews.
Dusty Rhodes will live on in the minds of wrestling fans. Indeed, his two sons, Gold dust and Star dust (Cody Rhodes) are prominent Superstars in the WWE and he has also impacted positively in the lives of many professionals all through the years as a teacher and instructor.
Pro-wrestling will surely miss Dusty the American dream.
