In a day where Legends have gone to their rest, we've discovered yet another has joined their ranks. Dusty Rhodes has passed away at the age of 69. Born Virgil Runnels, but known in wrestling as "The American Dream", Dusty battled against the likes of Ric Flair and Harley Race in the original NWA days, winning the world championship three times.

Overweight, but with a big presence and charisma that was second to none, Dusty fought for the Common man in a world where big men with muscles dominated the industry
. He eventually became a huge creative power, working behind the scenes for the NWA, WCW, TNA and finally for the WWE, including their NXT developmental group. His sons, Dustin & Cody Rhodes, currently wrestle as Goldust and Stardust, and they inducted their father into the WWE Hall of Fame a few years ago.

Now Dusty truly gets to dine with Kings and Queens.
