The Dusty Rhodes Story


The Dusty Rhodes Story
Rhodes, Dusty- this name came up in a conversation last week with a guy at work.  We got on the subject of watching old school pro-wrestling and started spouting off random names like Jimmy Snuka, Superstar Billy Graham, and then Dusty Rhodes came up.  

That sparked a memory of mine from the early eighties when I lived in Florida, The American Dream was the top wrestler of the time and the biggest draw to the TV set and live events.

A few days later, this same coworker turns me on to WWE - The American Dream - The Dusty Rhodes Story he has in his collection. It’s a box set that took me back to when I was 12 years old watching the greatest promo-interviews being given by Dusty and featuring full matches from his heyday, even television appearances that I remember in Georgia Championship Wrestling on TBS with Gordon Solie as the host.
