Dusty Rhodes, pro-wrestling legend, passes away at age 69.

Loved watching him when I was a kid. Well known as a "bleeder" and just hysterical to watch his gab game.

No link.

69 is actually a long lifespan for a pro-wrestler.

My other brother and I were victims of many a TV-learned wrestling stunt during commercial breaks. My mother wanted to tear her hair out. RIP, sir.

Yeah, it's a pretty long lifespan for Dusty.

I'm still wondering when Abdullah the Butcher will eventually stick a fork on his head and say "I'm done". He's 71 years old, and still wrestles part-time.
