I didn't think this would hit me as hard as it has. I was born much after Dusty's glory days, but I understand how much he meant to a lot of people in and out of the wrestling industry. Maybe it's also because I'm a massive Cody Rhodes fan and can't imagine what he's going through right now. , man.

I was at my father-in-law's birthday party tonight when I read this on my phone on Wrestling Inc. It hit me like a headbutt in the stomach (which surprised me because I never followed Dusty's glory days and have only known him since his WCW commentary days), so much so that my wife asked me what was wrong as all the colour had drained from my face.
The fact that there have been no reports of him having ill health or concerns has meant that this is a huge shock.
I wonder if they'll toll the bell for him on Monday.

I don't really have the words. Dusty had a huge impact on wrestling. Even to this day with NXT. He was one of the few real legends left. The American Dream is dead. Rest in love Dusty.

Ric Flair's statement on Dusty Rhodes' death -
"Today I lost one of my greatest opponents and greatest friends. He was the definition of heart and soul and I'm honored to have shared the ring with him countless times. He became the American Dream because wrestling needed a hero they could respect, and he was the man for the job. Dusty Rhodes, I will miss you my mentor and friend."

I wonder what's gonna happen to Cody "Stardust" Rhodes now that The Dream is gone?

It's absolutely heartbreaking when someone you watched & grew up with passes away. The first thing I ever recorded when we finally got a VCR was a Dusty Rhodes promo, where he flashed his "Million Dollar smile". He had an illustrious career and was made for this business.
What I wouldn't do to see that million dollar smile once more.

There shouldn't be show at all if they didn't.

God man....this one hit hard. dude. This is easily the hardest lost i've dealt with since Eddie. I have ALWAYS loved Dusty despite only being born in 1995. He was someone i always dreamed of meeting and im sad i never got that opportunity. What makes it hurt even worse now is that the very last thing my Grandfather bought me was Legends series one Dusty Rhodes....and i sold it three months ago to someone on here. It makes me so sad now that i've realized the sentimental value in that figure. Had i still had it today no price would take it from me. This has been a terrible day and this just puts it over the top and makes me really appreciate life. I will always love and miss The American Dream. R.I.P Dusty Rhodes.
