Didn't she can that angle after Dusty went off-script in a promo with her?

She did give him into trouble for going off script, irony being that the bits he went off script with were the most over parts of the angle.

Considering she looks 12 in that photo, I think that might be a different angle.

Lots of fans online seem to be hoping that this will be the end of the Stardust character.

Summer Rae was always Dusty's favourite she hasn't posted anything on social media yet.

That's because Dusty is one of the most natural promos in wrestling history. There's an incredible bit in the view never changes promo, where after him and Dustin clean house, Dusty grabs the mic and puts his hand up to request silence. He instantly gets it.

That, my friends, is presence and respect.

I was at Battleground 2013 and drat if the Rhodes' vs. the Shield wasn't the match of the night by far. (Not that that's saying much with that show.) Awesome moment for a legendary dude.

I will always insist that Shield/Rhodes' was the rightful main event, and had it been the main event Battleground 2013 would be remembered as a fantastic show instead of a terrible one.

Someone said that this match will be remembered 20-30 years from now for having such a great storyline like Savage-Warrior, and I have to agree

Great match

If Stardust stays the same and uses Dusty's death for heat, it's not gonna go over well.

69 is a really decent lifespan (especially for a wrestler, which is depressing to say) but man, he made such a huge impact that he'll never be forgotten at least.

This is going to be the "remember who you are" angle of the century.

I feel like Dusty would be ok with that.

Dusty would laugh and write it himself, so yeah. He'd be giddy about that poo poo. And if anybody CAN play it up, it's definitely Cody. Whether or not he should should be up to the family and I hope it is.

If he does, at least let it be as Cody Rhodes and not Stardust.

Or better yet, Heel Goldust and face Cody.

Dusty's last contribution to WWE was one more Dusty Finish he snuck in to the WWE Championship match at Elimination Chamber.

Crafty weasel. Amazing man on commentary, and I'm glad he was chosen to mold the future in NXT.

Some teeth long for ripping, gleaming wet from black dog gums. So you keep your eyes closed at the end. You don't want to see such a mouth up close. before the bite, before its oblivion in the goring of your soft parts, the speckled lips will curl back in a whinny of excitement. You just know it.

Ornette Coleman. Skies of America is one of my favorite albums. It's a good place to start for anyone new to Coleman. Or you could dive in head first with Change of the Century or the Shape of Jazz to Come.

And yeah, Lee is the other one. :smith:

I named myself after him on the forums. Which was great since I only posted in LF and WH2K pretty much.

I rarely saw WCW until nitro started so my favorite Dusty Rhodes memory was the vignettes before he debuted in WWF in like 89. I was only 5 at the time and just started watching wrestling but he had the perfect charisma to hook in a 5 year old.

You've got to admit, you are kind of implausible



Wish I could find it, but one of my favorite promos of his was win he was feuding with Ted Dibiase. Sapphire had already left him, and Dusty turns up on the Brother Love show, decked out in a poncho, chaps, and a top hat that has a chicken foot(?) at the brim. Also, everything was black with red polkadots. He talks about that kinds of things Ted Dibiase must believe in, before going on what "The America Dream" believes in. It was awesome stuff.
