laughedatbytime Posted June 11, 2015 Share Posted June 11, 2015 The great pinch hitter. One of my coaches in high school used to call me Dusty for my penchant for getting hits when called off the bench to pinch hit. "Way to go Dusty!!" he would yell. Never forget it... RIP Dusty... It's either a different guy or he was the greatest 8 year old hitter ever during the 1954 World Series. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rocket ignites Posted June 11, 2015 Share Posted June 11, 2015 (edited) R.I.P. The American Dream...One of the greatest on the mic...his work with Ric Flair, Harley Race, etc was legendary.

Stormtron Posted June 11, 2015 Share Posted June 11, 2015 I'm a huge pro wrestling fan (don't laugh...or do, I don't care, I know it's ridiculous) and this is a huge bummer. Dusty was a legend and one of the greatest of all time. He was still important to the business, working behind the scenes right up until he died. http://i.imgur.com/UQxo8DI.jpg And he managed to still kick ass in polka dots. RIP Dusty. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
J2112YYZ Posted June 11, 2015 Share Posted June 11, 2015 A very big loss for the wrestling world. He was still mentoring the younger performers in the WWE system. I've heard and read a lot of interviews with wrestlers from both yesterday and today who wouldn't be where they are now if Dusty didn't take them under his wing and point them in the right direction. He wasn't the best wrestler in the ring, but he could talk and had charisma that very few in the wrestling world could touch. RIP 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ancient Ways Posted June 11, 2015 Share Posted June 11, 2015 Big fan of his as a kid. Saw him wrestle at the fort homer hesterley armory here in Tampa. His face was a crimson mask during the bout because he cut himself 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rocket ignites Posted June 11, 2015 Share Posted June 11, 2015 Yeah, that's the cool thing about Dusty. He wasn't just a legend in his day...he was still giving back to the business working with young talent and grooming the next generation...much respect for that. His sons are quite a legacy also. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nothing to be ashamed of. I stopped following many years ago, but I loved the Ric Flair, Dusty, Von Eric era. Yeah, sure, it's not actually real. It's entertainment... but damned fun entertainment. Good times. Good memories. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Narps Posted June 12, 2015 Share Posted June 12, 2015 (edited) I really do appreciate your guys understanding for my confusion with the baseball player by the same name. I should have read the link but I didn't and went and made a fool of myself. Thanks again folks for the kind words. Not the kind of thread you want to mess up on but I did... :sigh: Again sorry Edited June 12, 2015 by Narps Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
