Sports anchor Scott Stanford (the WWE announcer) had Jim Ross on discussing Rhodes’ passing earlier today.
The segment opened with clips of Dusty Rhodes’ WWE Hall of Fame induction. Stanford noted Rhodes was a “pop culture icon.”
Ross commented that Dusty was a larger than life pop culture hero and people recognized him because he sounded different, he looked different and was a trailblazer who did things that wrestlers before him had not done.
Ross said that Rhodes showed that with charisma and heart, you could connect with the audience and that you didn’t need to be a bodybuilder to make it in pro wrestling.
He noted Rhodes was the son of a plumber in Texas and always portrayed himself as a “blue collar hero.”
Stanford closed the segment noting Dusty was gone “way too soon.”
