Wonder Dusty liked Moxley/Ambrose's impression of him?

 

[Grifter]

To this day, I chuckle at the idea of a wrestler walking up to a pay window to collect after winning a match. RIP

 

[Tenumi]

Dusty absolutely oozed charisma every time he had a mic. Such an entertaining man, one deserving of being called a Legend of Wrestling.

RIP Dusty Rhodes.

 

[Brinbe]

Man, that's rough. Still had a lot left to give to Wrestling.

 

[Agent_Carnage]

Not him too. Can this day please hurry up and get over so no one else kicks the bucket too.

RIP

Why does all the great people of our time die in June.

Michael Jackson,Billy Mays and Farrah Fawcett all died in June of 09.

Today we lost Sir Christopher Lee,Dusty Rhodes and who else will be dying today or in a week.

 

[Ninja Scooter]

Today is hard times, baby.

One of my first wrestling memories as a kid was watching the Road Warriors jump him and bust his forehead open with a spike. Scared the shit out of me.

Hard times man...I just watched the Dusty/Flair Rivalries documentary the other day and thought Big Dust looked pretty good for his age.

Probably the best promo this man has ever done. It meant a lot to me because it made me fell in love with Professional Wrestling. I remember a younger me being in awe at how powerful this promo was...

RIP Dusty. You were simply the American Dream.

Kevin Owens (Kevin Steen) just posted this

Dusty...
These past few weeks, I kept telling myself that I had to find time to stop by the Performance Center and talk to Dusty. I wanted to thank him for all of his help in the last year and make sure he knew how grateful I was for the chance I got to work with him. But I've been very busy and just couldn't find the time.

Well, today, I learned that Dusty Rhodes has passed away.

There are no words to express the sadness I feel, not only because I won't get to see him or talk to him or laugh with him again, but because I didn't get to tell him how special he was to me.

So today, I invite you all to make time to tell the people in your lives how much they mean to you...You never know what tomorrow will bring.

I can only hope that even though I didn't get to tell him directly, Dusty knew how much I appreciated and valued his help, wisdom, support and friendship. He was unlike anybody I've ever met in this industry and to say that I will always remember him and be thankful for the honor of having known him is an understatement.

In the meantime, the entire NXT crew is on its way to Pittsburgh where we will do what we do best. And you can bet every single second of tonight and every other NXT show this week are dedicated to the memory of the legendary, one-and-only Dusty Rhodes.

My thoughts are with his family and friends at this time...especially his children. Your father was an incredible coach and an even better man. He will be greatly missed.

Dusty used to call us "his NXT kids"... Well, I think I speak for all of us at when I say that tonight and every other night from here on out, we will give it our all for you, Dusty.

We'll make you proud, Dream.

Thank you for the memories...thank you for everything.

Much love,

Kevin

Gonna check it out then. Thanks.

 

[Marvie_3]

Fuck

 

[PepsimanVsJoe]

Fuck June 11, 2015.

So many legends in a day is just too much.

 

[Gonzalez]

I hope Dusty is calling matches on the set of WCW Saturday Night in Heaven with Big Bubba Rodgers randomly attacking wrestlers with a children's bicycle.

 

[dream]

For all the talk of the hard times promo, my favorite Dusty call ever is "there's a lady in the men's room!"

 

[Violence Jack]

This day cannot end fast enough. 3 legends in one day. I can't take much more.

Guess it's time to add a viewing of the Ric Flair vs Dusty match from Starrcade for tonight to go along with Horror of Dracula.

RIP American Dream.

 

[Jackson50]

I always enjoyed Dusty Rhodes. He was a great performer.

 

[The Faceless Master]

 

[redmetal86]

Not you too, Dusty. RIP. You will be missed.

Today we lost Sir Christopher Lee,Dusty Rhodes and who else will be dying today or in a week.

Let's also remember that we lost James Last this week.

 

[Archaix]

You'll be missed Dusty. Few people could make nothing as entertaining as you.

And when you were already working with comedy gold? The average person doesn't stand a chance.
