R.I.P. Dusty Rhodes. I love you so much! You sure did know how to give a show! You put so much heart into your wrestling performances. You were and will always be my favorite of all time! The American Dream!
For the kids who've only known wrestling from the "Attitude Era" to now, there are some things you should know.
Nothing you see here, except the outcome, was choreographed or known before the two men stepped into the ring. These men didn't speak, didn't see other, didn't arrive together and dressed on opposite sides of the venue. They figured out the whole match - every kick, every punch, every hold - in the ring, in the moment. The promoter told them both what the ending would be and it was up to them to get there. This was when wrestling was more than just a soap opera - it was an event that looked (and likely felt) real.
Wow!!!!!! Awesome footage❤️ Reed & Rhodes are on fire here♨️ & it's nice to see Butch Reed holding a singles title. He was awesome & Rhodes singles title reigns speak for themselves.
