RIP Dusty Rhodes, the American Dream
-
The American Dream, Dusty Rhodes passed away on Thursday 11 June 2015 at the age of 69. He suffered a fall in his home the previous day and was taken to the hospital, where he passed away.
Full details aren't out yet (if ever), but in the last year he has suffered a rapid weight loss and his doctors were concerned about his health.
Long time stage rival (but close friend IRL), Ric Flair called Dusty the most iconic and charismatic wrestler ever. Wrestlers, young and old, past and present, have been singing Dusty's praises. Not only that, but people from all walks of life (auto racing, TV, hollywood, politicians, etc, etc, etc, as well as just normal folks) have been posting about him on all the social media outlets.
Even though he only held the NWA World Heavyweight (singles) title 3 times, he held more overall titles than any other wrestler during his 40+ year career.

I feel so sad for his boys. Hopefully, they can cope through this and continue to make him proud. RIP Dusty!

Sad that he gone, but he left a very handsome son behind to follow in his footsteps. Cody Rhodes
