"WWE is deeply saddened that Virgil Runnels, aka “The American Dream” Dusty Rhodes — WWE Hall of Famer, three-time NWA Champion and one of the most captivating and charismatic figures in sports entertainment history — passed away today at the age of 69.

Runnels became a hero to fans around the world thanks to his work ethic, his impassioned interviews and his indomitable spirit. Moreover, Runnels was a dedicated father to WWE Superstars Goldust (Dustin Runnels) and Stardust (Cody Runnels), a caring husband and a creative visionary who helped shape the landscape of WWE long after his in-ring career had ended.

WWE extends its sincerest condolences to Runnels’ family, friends and colleagues."

Sad times. What a legend. RIP.

I could honestly spend an hour typing up my memories of Dusty dating back to my childhood and getting my hands on old NWA and i think maybe they were bootlegged videos of Florida championship wrestling... and just getting a kick out of Dusty when he wrestled and talked.. he had a very unique personality something i think people took interest in... and then some 30 years later we have new generations that know who Dusty was.

I'm sure many of us have gone ahead and pulled a funny Dusty voice impression... i know i have and still do... until people stop laughing anyways.

RIP Dusty. The dream lives on.
