The thing about Dusty's passing that's really getting to me is how much he meant to people.

I know that sounds weird, but I can't think of any other major name that's passed away that's gutted people so badly. Even Eddie and Benoit--you know, before people found out he murdered everyone--didn't seem to generate the same emotion out of people.

It's really clear that while a lot of the people that have passed away have been great friends and had a great spot in the history of this business, I don't think any one has done as much to help shape, mold, and support future generations and stars than Dusty Rhodes. That's what makes this brutal. Just listening to Renee Young try to soldier through a toss to Tom Phillips while bawling her eyes out after the memorial video...
