Sad thing is, Dusty Rhodes would never make it in wrestling today.....

Posted by groiny (aka groiny) Jun 11 '15, 13:33

he was not poured out of a steroid bottle.

My problem with WWE today is that there are very few good personalities. Dusty did not look like an athlete, but he had enough charisma to overcome that body.

He was a big part of my growing up with wrestling, and I am sad about his passing today.

Responses:

you know...I think he would have been the exception. His charisma and promos would have made him an exception -- nm - Remlik Jun 11, 13:34 17
- he would have to get there first, and my guess is they would laugh him out of the building. nm -- nm - groiny Jun 11, 13:38 15
  - Maybe....but I never though Kevin Owens or Bray Wyatt would get there as well -- nm - Remlik Jun 11, 13:40 14
    - well, I do not know who Owens is, but did Wyatt not have a really goofy gimmick when he broke in? -- nm - groiny Jun 11, 13:41 13
      - Owens is a guy who isn't a WWE prototype and has laid out Cena repeatedly... -- (link) - Remlik Jun 11, 13:46 [youtube] 12
        
        (rematch at Money in the Bank on Sunday!) -- nm - Tim Jun 11, 13:59 7
        
        Cena wins...and the best of 3 at the next ppv -- nm - Remlik Jun 11, 14:11 6
        
        I think Cena will win by DQ, and then Owens will say he doesn't need to fight Cena again, until - Tim Jun 11, 14:18 4
        
        I do think it will end with OWens taking the US title. I just think Cena gets a real win first. -- nm - pmb Jun 11, 14:38 2
        
        Meh, a clean win by Cena just kills everything they're doing with Owens. - Tim Jun 11, 14:55
        
        I hope not...not becuase I don't like Cena, but because WWE just trades wins for Cena (and everyone else) - Will Hunting Jun 11, 14:42
        
        could be. -- nm - Remlik Jun 11, 14:25
        
        Has to be. -- nm - pmb Jun 11, 14:13
        
        it's Ed the Normal! -- nm - groiny Jun 11, 13:47 3
        
        *laughing* - Will Hunting Jun 11, 13:49 1
        
        not as much as a dead ringer as Coover Bennett, but close! -- nm - groiny Jun 11, 13:53
        
        HA! -- nm - Remlik Jun 11, 13:49
- Yep, he was one of a kind -- nm - eag Jun 11, 13:37
Yep, him, Dr Death , and Stan Hansen would have no chance. -- nm - Will Hunting Jun 11, 13:34 6
- agree on Death and Hansen. Those guys had zip personality -- nm - Remlik Jun 11, 13:35 5
  - Hansen is a minor god in Japan, Dr. Death is solid himself. -- nm - Will Hunting Jun 11, 13:36 4
    - oh he's worshiped in Japan. But in today's climate? no way he couldn't talk on the stick and Death had zero charisma, though he was a beast in the rin -- nm - Remlik Jun 11, 13:40 3
      - is Smackdown still on Thursdays? - groiny Jun 11, 13:42 2
        
        yeah though it's moving to USA if it already hasn't -- nm - Remlik Jun 11, 13:46 1
        
        I would guess the bigger tribute would be on Raw - eag Jun 11, 13:52
