Nah, I don't watch it so much anymore. I must meet up and talk about old times.

Hah!

We've tracked that man down. :)

Dusty Rhodes is world famous......if you watch wrestling. If you were going to list the biggest names ever in wrestling, he might just about make the top ten.

As well as being NWA World champion multiple times and having hour long classic matches with Ric Flair, when he was a writer/booker he created a technique now referred to as the 'Dusty finish'. This is when a match is ended in controversy, the face (good guy) is announced as the winner, then the decision is reversed by the referee due to a technicality or some dastardly cheating by the heel (bad guy). It's used to continue a feud and set up a potential rematch at the next event. It's used all the time now.

The only thing wrong with Dusty is that he looked a lot like my late Aunt Ivy

Odd looking man. At least his wrestler sons look normal

Boris Johnson has let himself go a bit.
