Michael_3165 Posted June 13, 2015 Share Posted June 13, 2015 I didn't 'get' Dusty at all... Never liked his matches, his niche was a little too far from my life to make me feel for him. Â That said he had a great mind for the business of not sometimes a little out there. Â Sad day though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr.PeterVenkman Posted June 13, 2015 Share Posted June 13, 2015 Was watching a bit of his stuff on YouTube yesterday, View never changes etc. absolutely superb  Plus he was a big part of the best tag match in God knows how long with the Shield vs Rhodes Brothers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
METAL ON METAL Posted June 13, 2015 Share Posted June 13, 2015 They're airing a one hour tribute show on the WWE Network on Monday after Raw. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members Statto Posted June 13, 2015 Paid Members Share Posted June 13, 2015 I posted the quote "And when you walk behind & you ain't a leader, then the view never changes, baby..." on Twitter as my RIP Dusty tweet. Â Having reflected on it for a couple of days, it is quite probably the deepest phrase ever uttered in a form of entertainment often considered extremely lowbrow. (And which often is quite lowbrow...) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Little Johnny Posted June 13, 2015 Share Posted June 13, 2015 I was speaking to Bill Apter yesterday a few hours later after the news broke and I used this quote as to how I feel regarding Dusty's death. Â 'The man who always had the right words has left us with no words at all' Â Apter was out looking for soundbites within hours of Dusty's death? Take a day off, Bill!

Paid Members tiger_rick Posted June 19, 2015 Paid Members Share Posted June 19, 2015 If you can make it through the excellent "Celebrating the dream" on the Network without shedding a little tear, then you're a better man than I am, baby. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members Murtz Posted June 19, 2015 Paid Members Share Posted June 19, 2015 I definitely welled up. It was a beautiful tribute, but what gets me everytime is that video they've shown over the last week is so. There's a moment right at the end where he's standing in an empty ring in an empty arena and says 'until we meet again', almost as if he's talking to us from beyond. Spine tingling stuff.

Paid Members tiger_rick Posted June 20, 2015 Paid Members Share Posted June 20, 2015 Yeah, that footage is incredibly powerful. Odd that they have something so apt. Was like the Warrior last year, his final promo was so foretelling. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
3:16 Posted June 20, 2015 Share Posted June 20, 2015 That footage is from the Best of Great American Bash DVD I believe which Dusty hosted Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Really Big Shoe Posted June 20, 2015 Share Posted June 20, 2015 Very sad news about Dusty. The Dream was one of my favorites and his promos always made you believe in what he was saying and he was a great storyteller. Those old school promos are now a lost art which is a shame as sometimes they were so simple in comparison to the monologues of today, but Dust could say so much in just a few words. He also had tons of charisma, was a successful booker and is also a former NWA World champion. Dusty even took a gimmick that was meant to belittle him but even got over in the polka dots and its a shame WWF didn't bring him in as the American Dream and let him cut promos like in JCP, they would have had a license to print money. RIP Dream Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Moderators PowerButchi Posted June 20, 2015 Moderators Share Posted June 20, 2015 Until 1986 or so he was, yeah. But then he ended up killing towns and going with himself too often. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Indeed it was. But then wasn't that regularly easily their most successful PPV? I swear I remember reading that. So as daft as the concept seems, it drew.
