By Nick Paglino

-Arn Anderson did his Dusty Rhodes impression, and JJ Dillon added Rhodes was always “The American Dream, 24/7”, just like Ric Flair is always “The Nature Boy.”

-Hayes talked about Dusty’s creative mind, and how he was the mind behind such classic pro wrestling concepts like WarGames, and characters such as Nikita Koloff and Magnum TA.

-Lawler told a funny joke about how Rhodes once left a signed note on Lawler’s chair in the locker room saying “sorry you had to go on after me.”

-Flair said the line “wined and dined with kings and queens” is Goldust and Stardust’s favorite Dusty Rhodes line.
