Doesn't say. I am curious myself

Based on what I can find it was some type of health issue. My guess is heart attack or stroke based on what in reading ( it says he was trying to lose weight and battling high blood pressure).

The American Dream, the bionic elbow, the lisp. I watched this guy every Saturday morning when I was a kid, and I saw him live once. He was a great entertainer and I have great memories of him as a result.

Well, I guess there's number 3. Chris Lee, the Country Singer, and now Dusty Rhodes.

What a bum week...

RIP Mr. Rhodes.

I was just a kid who fell in love with wrestling on TBS in the 80's and got to watch Dusty every Saturday evening. I was more a heel/Horseman guy, but still loved Dream. Once the NWA started touring in Chicago, I got to see Dusty in person several times in ringside seats. He always electrified the crowd. I mean just crazy. His Promo's were amazing. He just captivated you and made you believe.

Even when he went up north to Vince and was forced to wear polka dots, he took it and got over. Never the most technical guy, but for someone his size he could still go.

It is so cool to see all of the outpouring of comments from so many people he touched. He will live on forever.
