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.

He debuted at WWF in 1989, but left the company in 1981. Soon afterwards, he joined WCW as a booker and would make random appearances. Finally, after WCW ended, Rhodes worked in independent promotions before returning to WWE in 2005.

WWE inducted him into the WWE Hall of Fame in 2013. His sons, Goldust and Cody Rhodes, did the honors.

He passed away on June 11, 2015, because of cancer, and it was a dark day for the wrestling industry.
