This is such a sad day.

RIP Dusty :(

First a movie legend, now a wrestling legend.

What's creepy is that I was JUST talking to someone else about all the wrestlers we lost over the years and how some of the older ones form the 80s fortunately were still around such as Hogan, Flair, Steamboat, etc. This is creepy, man :ohwell:

How come 90% of current events is people dying?
I mean come on, other stuff has got to be happening in the world.

Because political and religious discussions are not allowed here.

Back on topic, Stephen Amell, Who is playing Casey Jones in TMNT 2, posted this on twitter regarding Dusty Rhodes.

Every person I've ever met connected with @WWE spoke with reverence about Dusty Rhodes. It's a sad day. Thoughts to his whole family. RIP.

That's a tough break.

I posted a nice story about a royal birth and some responded with "who cares?"

Nobody knows what the they want on here.

Yes, I heard about this on TMZ Live yesterday. Very sad day indeed. I was never around for Dusty's wrestling career, but I knew him as the announcer for WCW Monday Nitro, and I always enjoyed his commentary. My sis, bro, and I would imitate his standard, "If you will" all of the time. He will definitely be missed. A true legend in the sport of pro wrestling and even beyond his career. R.I.P., Dusty. You will be missed. My condolences go out to his family, friends, and fans.

You seem upset.

[BubblyShell22]

Well, what's ridiculous is that you complain about the death threads, but when Zar posted about the birth of Princess Charlotte, you simply said, "She should be named Waste of Space" which signified that you didn't care. So, what exactly do you want?

[TheCanadiandrome]

very sad news indeed. RIP to a living Legend

I'm not complaining about the death threads (read that as death threats first, huehue). I just noticed how many death threads there are.
I don't care about royals, but that doesn't mean I disapprove of people posting about them either.

If anyone knows the cause of the American Dream's death, could you please let me know?

Dusty was a very light-hearted and very caring man. I thoroughly enjoy the Rhodes family wrestling wise for pulling through silly personas to compete. I won't lie when I say that Dusty was a likable wrestler overall with a great respect for the company.

It really is bothering me though that our biggest childhood icons are passing away. First Robin Williams, then Leonard Nimoy, and now Dusty himself with this recent tragedy.

Dusty, you'll always be the American Dream in our hearts like you were over the years, rest peacefully forever.

[BubblyShell22]

But you did complain about it, questioning why there are so many. To me, that's complaining.

And, GM, there's been no word on the cause of his death yet as far as I'm aware.

Good to know. :)

[GoldMutant]

I did hear he fell but that's all Bubbly.

I'm hoping his family can recover from this unfortunate passing of the son of a plumber. :(

From what I read, he fell because of something to do with his kidneys failing and dehydration and complications from the fall

[BubblyShell22]

Ah, I see. That sucks to hear his kidneys were failing.

[TheCanadiandrome]

Nice little tribute last night

[BubblyShell22]

Did they toll the bell? I know they'll probably do that tonight.

[TheCanadiandrome]

10 bell salute yes. and the after RAW Network exclusive, "Honoring the American Dream" or something, made me teary eyed

[BubblyShell22]

Yeah, I saw the replay of the tolling of the bell on RAW. I kind of thought they'd do the bell tolling on RAW itself, but that's okay that they didn't. I did get teary eyed with that and the video package they played.

[TheCanadiandrome]

Me to, always

[BubblyShell22]

And I was teary eyed last night when they played the video package on SD.
