    May he rest in peace. Thankfully, he passed his passion on to his sons. I just wish the WWE had given Goldust the spotlight he deserved when he was younger.

    Dusty Rhode's legacy lives on in the talent of soo many current roster stars who mentored with him and will forever be remembered by the WWE universe.

    Goldust is good. I can't stand Cody Rhodes though.

    I think he does a good job with the Stardust moniker. And generally I believe he's way under-used.
    Cody is a great wrestler, who should be way up in the card.

    idk when they turned him into stardust I feel like they were trying to make goldust 2.0. They really need to give him a better gimmick.

    That's what they did, yes..... Hence they made em a tag team.
    He does need an overhaul though, yes.

    People are going to come in here ad talk about how wrestling doesn't real!

    Wrestling still takes talent and Rhodes was very talented.

    Really shitty week this is turning out to be, Christopher Lee, Ron Moody and now Dusty Rhodes,

    I remember him mainly from his commentary during the WCW days, always a laugh, was a little too young when the man actually wrestled at the height of his career, think I just missed those years in wrestling...
