Hearing Schiavone call a Dusty Match in The W.W.F makes me think I'm watching N.W.A/ WCW.

Probably the best shape dibiase was in. Great heel character.

Pre-Polka Dot Dream...hearing Tony Schiavone call this match with Earl Hebner as ref is like 1987-88 NWA/JCP.

This was Dusty's return. He worked for Vince McMahon Sr. in the past

Dusty was one of the coolest people I ever met. Used to see him when he came to wrestle in Sarasota Florida for the NWA. He is one of Wrestling’s True Icons

Ted was such a great heel. I'll never forget the bit where he was going to pay a little kid to dribble a basketball a certain number of times, and when the kid got close Ted knocked the ball away LOL

Dusty was so " Over" in the Boston area , I saw him numerous times from the 1970s on, I thought Vince was going to make him Worlds Champion as he was a fan favorite and sure filled the arenas ,instead Dusty left and became the NWA Worlds Champion a few times ... Shortly after this match Vince had him wearing Polka Dots as a " Rib" ,yet, Dusty had the last laugh and was more popular than ever!!....R.I.P " Dusty"

Loved DiBiase. Appreciate him even more 30 years later. Great heel, great bumper. A real worker. He lived that persona. Now a Minister...

This was beautiful. What great workers with over characters who just knew how to tell a story with their match. Pacing is such a forgotten art in pro wrestling.
