Better Wrestler #16

But it does seem weird that we'll just ignore his WWF run completely "because the machine wasn't behind him."

1) Basically anything Dusty qualifies for your "something good" inquiry. You just seem to think it was all shit. Opinions are opinions and all that, but honestly if you didn't enjoy Dusty's work I'm inclined to believe that there's something wrong with you.

2) No one's ignoring his WWF stuff. They're just saying that it doesn't detract from his overall appeal. The fact that you think it should is absurd. Do you judge Ric Flair and Hulk Hogan on their spectacularly terrible TNA stuff? I sure hope not. A good wrestler is a good wrestler no matter where he applied his craft, and his accomplishments from one point in time do not suddenly get torn to shreds just because he's done something stupid and/or terrible at a later date.

1. "anything Dusty qualifies for your "something good" inquiry." Like what? What are some good things he did other than the ones I've already listed. Apparently no one has any considering I've asked like 10 times.

2. I'm not saying that Dusty's WWF run detracts from his appeal, I'm comparing that part of his career (along with the rest of his career which everyone seems to ignore I'm doing) to all of Kurt Angle's career. When you have a run like Dusty's run in WWF you're gonna need some huge moments from his NWA run to compare to Kurt Angle's incredible runs in WWF/E and TNA. I'm comparing their entire careers.

Once again, if someone has something that Dusty Rhodes did that can compare to Kurt Angle's run, I'm all ears. But just telling me how much he drew and how everything he did is great isn't enough for me to pick Dusty over Kurt.
