WWE is deeply saddened that Virgil Runnels, aka “The American Dream” Dusty Rhodes — WWE Hall of Famer, three-time NWA Champion and one of the most captivating and charismatic figures in sports entertainment history — passed away today at the age of 69.

Runnels became a hero to fans around the world thanks to his work ethic, his impassioned interviews and his indomitable spirit. Moreover, Runnels was a dedicated father to WWE Superstars Goldust (Dustin Runnels) and Stardust (Cody Runnels), a caring husband and a creative visionary who helped shape the landscape of WWE long after his in-ring career had ended.

WWE extends its sincerest condolences to Runnels’ family, friends and colleagues.

Noo! This is truly the hardest of times. :(

Shocked to hear this

RIP Dusty

Now, what the fuck? Cristopher Lee AND The American Dweem too, dadday?

Today is not a great day for the world.

Him and Christopher Lee. Damn.

R.I.P. May he get funky like a monkey with Sapphire on the Mothaship that is the great beyond.

<font color=goldenrod>Holy fuck, did NOT expect this at all :(

RIP Dream</font>

Crap.

They come in threes.

I now regret going to the forums during lunch.

Son of a bitch.

The American Dream!!! RIP

A genius in the wrestling world gone. Sad to see the Dream ride off into the sunset. Godspeed Dusty :(

Horrible news. What a legend. He'll be missed greatly.

Damn :(

I am just in absolute shock at this news.

Dusty was one of those guys I loved to watch as a kid.

He was just larger than life in Florida and the Carolinas.

RIP American Dream. :(

Fuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuck

RIP Dream, thoughts go out to Goldust and Cody and their families

R.I.P. Dusty Rhodes

RIP. Shocked somehow big time.

Wow. Wasn't expecting this at all. Just was watching one of the Roundtables on the Network he was on yesterday... Man. RIP Dream. Such a creative mind.

Very sad. Hard Times remains one of my favourite promos, even though it really doesn't make a lot of sense.

Oh God, did not see this coming. :(


The American Dream was deff my favorite old school wrestler that I was too young to watch in his prime but always liked either way. He wasn't even that old...wow.


:(


Too bad he didn't get any new WWE run...like as a manager or whatever.


:(


RIP.


Huge loss for all of wrestling.

His theme is going to sound different to me now.

RIP Dusty. I'm sure he's up there on the big muthaship in the sky layin' a clubberin' on somebody if you wheel.
