    Rhodes was quite the bleeder. This page from the old Apter magazines gave me nightmares as a kid:

    Within WWE, this is a huge loss...Guy was instrumental in making stars, Big presence in NXT, his sons are there, has been with WWE since Vince's dad was in charge.

    I am sure tears are flowing...

    Dropping like flies they are.. Icons of my youth passing into eternity. Kinda makes one recognize one's own mortality doesn't it..

    RIP Dusty...

    He wrastled against weak opponents, I'm telling you he was my favorite wrestler as a kid but he wasnt an all time great, borderline top 5 maybe. I'm not dumping on the guy, just giving you guys a reality check.

    Ahh. Saw him as a kid at the Memorial Coliseum in PDX. He may have had a gut and a few missing teeth, but he sure knew how to get the crowd behind him!

    I read in an interview long ago that he carried a razor blade in his shorts, to cut his forehead for bloody effect.
