I was suspicious of his health when I last saw him looking so skinny all of a sudden.
Rest in Peace, Dream. Thanks for adding to my childhood as a wrestling fan.

Aw man, this one really hurts.
Dusty Rhodes didn't have the "look" of a star, but he had a chraisma and a way with words that you just couldn't duplicate.
I know this has *just* happened, but I hope they have Cody be Cody going forward.

Wow, this came out of nowhere.
From what I remember he was funny as WCW commentator.
RIP Dusty.

One of my first memories of pro wrestling (when I started watching on a regular basis) was Dusty on commentary. I knew he used to wrestle but never thought much of it. Only in recent years did I grasp how much he meant to wrestling back then, and how much of an icon for the sport he was in the territory days. Not to mention being a mentor in NXT that many many people that are there and have been through there have stated he's made a large influence on.
RIP to an unquestionable legend in the industry across many generations and changes in the times.

Read it on Facebook and... Just damn, today hasn't been good. Before I ever saw any of his matches or promos, I grew up knowing who he was because my mom and grandmother were huge Dusty marks. When I finally saw his classic matches and watched his promos, I became one too.

If that's not a punch in the f***ing stomach I don't know what is.

My God. Completely blindsided by this. 69 isn't young, but it's not incredibly old, either. I wonder what the cause of death was. RIP to a great legend.
