Both their messages were emotional and overwhelming. Undoubtedly, the family misses the presence of the legend and honors him in any way possible and suitable.
The legendary story of Dusty Rhodes
The American Dream was an apt name for Rhodes. His father was a plumber, but he wanted to cross the barrier and take life to the next level. Hence, he worked hard to become a part of the industry.
There were a couple of reasons he became an instant hit among fans. First, he didn’t have the physique of a typical wrestler. He was an average person with athletic skills and knew his way around the ring. Second, he was sporting gear that was cartoonish, and the fans loved it! Finally, Rhodes knew how to cut promos and segments. His mic skills assisted in making him an absolute star in front of the audience.
