WWE is deeply saddened that Virgil Runnels, aka “The American Dream” Dusty Rhodes — WWE Hall of Famer, three-time NWA Champion and one of the most captivating and charismatic figures in sports entertainment history — passed away today at the age of 69.

Runnels became a hero to fans around the world thanks to his work ethic, his impassioned interviews and his indomitable spirit. Moreover, Runnels was a dedicated father to WWE Superstars Goldust (Dustin Runnels) and Stardust (Cody Runnels), a caring husband and a creative visionary who helped shape the landscape of WWE long after his in-ring career had ended.

WWE extends its sincerest condolences to Runnels’ family, friends and colleagues.

Damn...today's a rough day. First Christopher Lee and now this?

Although, unfortunately, it seemed like it was coming. Though mentally he seemed the same, physically Dusty was looking unhealthy in recent years.

RIP, Dream.

This one hurts. My earliest memories of wrestling were seeing him in Jim Crockett Promotions. My aunt named her dog after him. It goes without saying how important Dusty was to the business.

Rest in peace.

Oh man. It's not like I was watching when Dusty was wrestling but the guy was such a huge personality, I think wrestling fans of all generations can appreciate Dusty. RIP to the son of a plumber.
