Wrestling has lost one of the true great wrestling greats...Would it be fair to say, that, in my opinion Dusty was one of the finest ever talkers in Wrestling...Some of the lines he come up with were great
'I've wined and kings and Queens...I've slept in alleys and dined on pork and beans' is one that instantly sticks out
Thoughts and prayers go out his family...
I am actually shocked to hear that and genuinely sad and upset

I was never a big Dusty fan to be honest. The first time I saw him was on a few WWF tapes I owned. His career was winding down and he was obviously past his prime. I thought he was boring.
I've watched old NWA stuff featuring Dusty. Some of his matches are decent, but he was always wrestling the likes of The Horsemen. His promos were probably the best thing about his act but, once again, they never really appealed to me that much. At the time, I was heavily into ECW and absolutely loved the style of promo Raven and Cactus Jack used. Obviously their style was a lot less jovial than Dusty's.
Loved War Games though!
