  • Dusty congratulated by none other then D.A.C.

  • People always talk about Dusty's look. Hop your ass in the ring & go an hour + on the regular like he did back in the day. Most of the people who trash him wouldn't last 2 minutes w/o being gassed worse than Grandmaster Sexay when he finsihed his entrance to diss Lawler for Cole.

  • Wrestlers nowadays need to take notes. Dusty and Flair didn't have a million move arsenal and they didn't have to go for a dozen highspots in a match.  They knew how to tell a story, and they knew how to make you believe that they hated each other. Nobody in this new era tells a story like these two.

  • Ever heard of that fat wrestler from the 1980's called DUSTY Rhodes? MAN he was a piece of shit!

  • @RedDaVincy But he was one of the greatest wrestlers of all time whether you like it or you don't like it.

  • when flair said diamonds are forever and so is ric flair, he wasnt lying! He's going to wrestle forever. SMH@ him dying in a TNA ring of all places.

  • 2:00 just shows the class of entertainer. I mean clearly dusty was expecting to hit the guy. Ric flair sold instead. What does dusty do, he is not static not knowing what to do. He doesn't rush anywhere. He just rolls without like well I guess I didn't need the elbow.

    Truly entertaining.

    Hard time blues.

  • the guy at 0:13 is sooooooooooo fat

  • Diamonds are forever and so is Ric Flair Woooooooooooooooooooo!

  • now these were real matches back then...lasted 45 over hour sometimes,,,lol

  • I just don't see the WWE Championship changing hands as a result of an attempted body slam countered by a small package for the 1-2-3. Absolutely brilliant in its simplicity.

  • Dusty Rhodes the Blackest Whitest dude ever

  • Dusty Rhodes made Ric Flair look great. Before there was Hulk Hogan, There was Dusty Rhodes who paved the wave for wrestling and guys like Ric Flair and Hulk Hogan.LONG LIVE THE DREAM!!!!!!!

  • I love this stuff, but can i dislike that wwe logo in the bottom left?

  • now today ric flair would be to small dusty rhodes too fat

    both would have to change their accent especially dusty because its too werid

    and never get pushed because the lineswritten for them would never get over

    but look at this this is wrestling

  • a Time Machine needs to be made so I can go back to this Era

  • WWWOOOOOOOOO

  • Flair was the better wrestler but he and Dusty together made magic.

  • dusty was probably the best interview ever, besides ric. that fairy (haha quite literally) the rock isn't in their league. and, despite only having the "bionic elbow", dusty was a great wrestler as well. and could even wrestle the whole 60 min. as they typically did in those days, despite his fatness...

  • DR FOREVER!

  • 0:45 look at his knee lol

  • Dusty was the best interview hands down.

  • @edwardsre Easily one of the best on the mic, especially when he really gets into it.

  • Was Dusty ever in shape?

  • @gamehound83 he wasn't in great-looking shape, but he could go in the ring for hours. so he had the motor. he just didn't look it.

  • @gamehound83

    actually, i was surprised to find this out, but dusty was a leading football and baseball player before he got into wrestling and he had a dual scholarship in texas and actually had top tier stats in both sports, even was invited to training camp with a few nfl teams. he just wanted to be a wrestler and turned down a deal with miami. then of course, he became a total fatass...

  • @DJglasgowSon That amazes me. I knew about the football but not the baseball.

    Yes he's a blob

  • @gamehound83

    for sure. i recently bought a wwe triple pack dvd with rise and fall of wcw, mr. perfect documentary, and dusty rhodes story, and put off watching the rhodes dvd until just recently, was shocked to find out he was a standout athlete and in good shape at one time, but i guess he was a texan, and they live and die for football, so it makes sense.

  • @DJglasgowSon That was a damn good DVD. I think that is one of the most underated DVD's that the WWE has put out. I never realized how popular and how how Dusty was in the world of pro wrestling until watching that. Hell, he even to went to MSG three times and sold out the place with "Superstar" in three helluva great matches!

  • @TheMadStork83

    for sure. dusty was before my time, and the first i saw of him was as a wcw commentator. i went back to watch flair in his glory days and developed an interest in dusty. that video was probably the best wwe vid i've seen, besides maybe 'cause stone cold said so, which was insightful, and hilarious. the music and hay bales and everything in the dusty vid fit him perfectly, and the vid offered great insight into how he became a booker n all... winning various nwa titles 15+times...

  • the same

  • Man ric flair looks EXACTLY

  • Rick Flair Slated Bret Hart Typical Yankie doodle .

    BS

  • Dusty book himself as champion again?

  • Dusty Rhodes is and always will be a fatass,untalented,dumbass slob.He couldn't put asses in the seat unless the nature boy was on the card.The most over rated non athlete in wrestling.

  • tht might have been the greatest Youtube video I've ever seen

  • im 23 years old and i can look back 20 30 years and we have these legends like ric dusty to name a few but wen my kids are in there 20s will they have such a rich selection of legends to learn about i dont think so and thats a real shame for the wrestling bidnes i hope im wrong but i dougt it

  • I totally agree. Break up the legends by time period and they pretty much fizzle out by the mid 90's. The last 10 years have produced great stars... but no legends

  • I dont agree atsandman. The 90's produced many legends

  • also, your stupid!

  • Your only saying that because i refused to have sex with you... please keep your personal dejection off of youtube where people come to watch videos... not get raped

  • HAHAHA

    look at that sell by Ric Flair at 2:00 Dusty Rhodes doesn't even know whats going on! lol

  • Last 10 years produced The Rock, Austin, HHH, Angle...all legends and eventually all time greats.

  • i have to agree with you on Angle and Triple H, Austin had been wrestling since the 80's and The Rock will always be known for his mic skills, but i doubt many people will recall a great match that stands out in their mind. But alas i spoke out of turn with throwing that whole decade card out there

  • Best of the best ever on the mic 20-11: 20. Austin Idol 19. Big Cat Ernie Ladd 18. Curt Hennig Mr. Perfect 17. Road Warrior Hawk 16. Ole Anderson 15. Bruiser Brody 14. Tully Blanchard - the most underrated of the Four Horsemen 13. Chris Jericho/Rick Rude (tie) 12. Michael P.S. Hayes 11. Nick Bockwinkel Where's Hogan? Flair? Superstar? Hart? Savage? Jake the Snake?HBK? Scott Hall?Nash? Angle?..........Ahhhhhh all in time. I'm going to sleep, later today i post 10-1.
  • Tully was not better than Ole on the mic. Tully would often studder and lose himself...so he was mediocre at best. Ole was just so serious and made you believe...with his in-ring work and mic work.

  • I'm very comfortable with where I ranked Ole and Tully. Tully did not stutter on the mic. He was very underrated and very good on the mic and even better in the ring. Ole was also awesome on both ends.

  • Tully did not stutter? Are you kidding me?? Or maybe the term is "stammer" ..because you're thinking stutter in the "Bubba Dudley" sense. Tully did stammer at times, where he would screw up in mid-promo...I've watched this guy from Southwest to the WWF, you can't tell me that all of his promos were smooth as silk. I saw a Mid Atlantic promo with Tully & Wahoo (heel partners at the time) that was so bad, that I couldn't watch it all.

  • My list is solid. I wasn't looking for perfection. Also didn't expect everybody to agree with 1-20. I'm satisfied with the final product and where I have Tully and Ole. Next you'll swear on Bibles that Tully couldn't wrestle. I know this: The two greatest incarnations of The Four Horsemen both have Tully Blanchard in it. The Four Horsemen were NEVER the same once he left, no matter what combo they tried throwing together. You're not perfect and you shouldn't expect others to be.

  • I wouldn't "swear on bibles" about something ridiculous like that. Tully could wrestle, I know this. He was a ring general. I was only stating a fact, that the guy stammered in interviews. It's not my opinion, you should get some Mid Atlantic tapes and see for yourself. Tully played the heel role well, but he was the 4th best talker of the Original 4 Horsemen (my opinion). You're right about them never being the same once he left.

  • No you stated an opinion. The promos i saw, Tully was polished, arrogant and getting under the fans skin like a great heel is suppose to. And he always seemed to have gold around his waist so his mic skills and ring generalship must have been up to par. Who cares if he was the fourth best talker on the Horsemen. You got some all time mic guys in the Horsemen in Flair (1st), Arn(7th), Ole (16th and Tully (14th). He sure proved how indispensable he was when they couldn't replace Tully.

  • When we make these "Rank The Top 20 Blah Blah" lists...we already know in our minds that no one is perfect. But you also wouldn't put Gene Anderson in the Top 10 Promo guys of all time, now would you? You rank the individuals in order of who you think is better at that certain skill..but all the while KNOWING that none of them are perfect.

  • 1:00 - it takes a real man to wear that robe and Ric Flair is more than man enough.

  • what made ric so good is he could sell an ass woopin meaning when his appoinett got the best of him or arn anderson also they would make it look like they got they world rocked worser than it appeared and we as fans fed off of that emotion which in turn wanting for us to see more of them getting they asses kicked! damn those were the days! wrestling will never be like that again! thank you wwe 4 fucking up what countless legends paved the way 4 these punks that call themselves wrestlers now!

  • Listen to that crowd when the 1,2,3 came down you will never that in wrestling again

  • For once the WWE scum know how to respect history...

  • wow i did not know the big gold belt went way back in the 80's

  • "the four horsemen need to ride on another planet" CLASSIC

  • NOBODY - and I mean NOBODY - could fall like Rick Flair!!!!!!!!!!

  • how hyped is the ring announcer at the end of the match

  • Homos

  • What is the name of the song that starts around 1:38?

  • Uh. .."winner takes all" forgot who it's by, tho.

  • the winner takes all by abba

  • being your own biggest fan is as American as grandmas diabetes inducing apple pie and grandpas lung cancer inducing cigars!!

  • dusty rhodes was anything but the american dream, he was his own biggest fan.

  • I have heard that he was seriously over-hyped, especially after his programs with Flair ended. According to Street he was protected and I believe it. But a wrestler HAS to be a mark for themselves, if they aren't how is anyone else going to be?

  • @spanglehoff He was also the booker. He may have overdid the Dusty Finish and let his ego go crazy but then compare him to Vince Russo or comic fanboy in WWE.

  • The mutual respect amongst these two in real life is such a great thing to hear about. These two were legends because of exactly what Ric said... they bled, sweat, and breathed wrestling. Dusty and Ric was a classic as a rivalry as Yanks/Red Sox. The great part about it is that it's a dream for Ric, who got to have one of his greatest rivalries with his biggest influence of all time. If you have this dvd or watched it on 24/7, Ric himself states this fact, and watned to be Ramblin Ricky Rhodes.

  • This Is An Awesome Video! 5 Stars

    Dale

  • They were both so "crazy" on there promos lol

    Both are Legends in my book

  • I just got my HORSEMEN AUTOGRAPHED PICTURE COMPLETE with all the AUTOGRAPHS of RIC, TULLY, JJ DILLION, ARN and OLE.

    I also got RIC FLAIR,TULLY (my favorite horsemen), ARN, OLE and JJ DILLION to sign my WWE AUTOGRAPHED WORLD TITLE BELT along with bob backlund and john cena.Check out my videos and rate please.

    RIC AND DUSTY HAD ONE OF THE GREATEST FEUDS EVER!!!

  • ali vs frazier, flair vs rhodes these 2 phrases will 4ever b linked with each other. wrestling will never b da same as it was bak n da goddamn day!! vince mcmahon (however u spell his dam name) sr is probably turning over n his grave cause of wat jr has done 2 this im sry his sport. give me saturday morning wrestling bak n 84 85 86 87 any day of the week it was true and THAT (vince) is wat kept u entertained! not these idiots u hav running around doing bak flips and shit jumping off ladders wtf!

  • sweet sweet victory!!! the american dream...

  • i miss the ric flair 3 step and fall on his face move

  • i thought the same thing when i watched that video

  • one of the best reivals in wrestling is flair and rhodes!

  • i could watch flair and rhodes all day long whooooo

  • Ric Flair blasted more pussy than anyone in the world, the guys a legend

  • Mabye not more than Elvis or David Lee Roth, and Robert Plant

  • or Wilt Chamberlain... or Captain Kirk (galatical "blaster")

  • more than Wilt Chamberlain?

    what about Captain Kirk? that man was Universal... going where no man has gone before...

  • Actually Atsushi Onita beat Wilt Chamberlain's record.

  • LOL All of those guys got plenty of pussy.

  • these guys were good bleeders

  • the best rivalry in wrestlings past. these guys are the last of the technical wrestlers.

  • two of the greatest, if not THE greatest, there can never be any greater. no contest!

  • they ARE the 2 greatest

  • This was probably my all time favorite fued. Both of them put on the best interviews

  • Ith gonna be PANDALIRIUM...if ya weehulll mithta Gahdon Tholie....

    Dusty is the Greatest of ALL TIME!!!

  • thats some funny shit. i remember that line but you spelled it.

  • if it be that way....LET IT BE ! One of my favorite lines in promo history.

  • Dusty Rhodes was amazing. He is a true legend.

  • There will NEVER be another American Dream. He was the epitome of a great professional wrestler. He and Flair were the original trash talkers and could cut an impromptu 10 minute promo without a hitch. WWE sucks and will never touch the excitement and fun of the old school.

  • "The Four Horsemen - they need to ride on another planet." Cool line.

  • "cause I resevered the stratosphere for me and you."

  • @redgear4566: " If it be that way, let it be! Nobody interfer! "

  • For those wondering the song (yes it was the one from that Spongebob Sqarepants Episode) it's called "Sweet Victory" by David Glen Eisley

  • just getting ready to ask, thanks.

  • No prob!

  • This was when wrestling was good. It didn't get any better than Flair vs. Rhodes at the Greensboro Coliseum when they came to town several times a year.

  • Though I never was much of a Rock fan, doesn't The Rock's mic skills remind you of the effortless mic skills of Dusty Rhodes?

  • what dvd/documentary is this from?

  • American Dream: The Dusty Rhodes Story. A great DVD, I would definetly recommend it.

  • I'll check it out, thanks!

  • Its a 3 disc set, its awesome! Its the first one Ive purchased in my quest to own all wrestling documentaries.

  • I wish someone would upload the 4 Horsemen documentary, they've got every other doc on here hehe

  • THE AMERICAN DREAM!

  • It has the David Eisly song..

    AWESOME!!

  • I haven't watched wrestling in like 15 years, but back the 80's I did not miss NWA ever, before that, GA Championship Wrestling! Wrestling is something that's just meant to be simple, and within the simplicity you can have these really creative characters like Flair and Rhodes. You don't get that nowadays. Jeez, I knew what was up with wrestling, but it didn't matter, I hated the 4 Horsemen! Sometimes they made me so damn mad I was pissed off all week!

  • Ric Flair and Dusty Rhodes should be teaching the current WWE wrestlers how to do a proper promo. They knew how to sell a match as the best match.

  • RayNDeere, remember that Dusty promo where in mid speech, Baby Doll gave him an envelope? Dusty stopped talkin'. You know, what was in it? I'm saying the truth. What I can remember from Dusty's book; it was Dusty's pictuers. Him being goofy. I wish I could that promo. And yeah Flair & Dusty should be teachin' the young talent.

  • Hulk Hogan, like Goldberg, was more of a "manufactured" champion. Dusty had that true grit, realism about him!! And wow what a match...for someone fat and out of shape (supposedly) he could hang with the best of his time!!!!

  • Dusty Rhodes--The American Dream......FUNKY LIKE A MONKEY TOUR '86. (If you don't have a monkey, get funky anyway).

    Truly the best talker in the business....

  • You are right. Best talker=Dusty Rhodes. SEcond Ric Flair. WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO­O!

  • Hogan is better of course, and Jake the Snake, Ric Flair, but Dusty was one of the best ever on the mic. But Hulk #1 !

  • I tottaly agree..IF YOU WEEEEEEL! :D

  • Seeing Dusty Rhodes as a wrestler is an injustice but seeing as an human being is very great and i called him the Muhammad Ali of pro wrestling.

  • Its good to see the WCW legends are still alive (except JYD). Good video, I'm converting it now to my PSP and Ipod.

  • How do u convert that video to an ipod

  • "10 pounds of gold." lololol. I think he meant 10 pounds of tin.

  • It actually was 10 pounds of gold, idiot.

  • I know i'm not the only one who recognized david allan coe in this video.

  • His right about the song but he goes good with the video dont you think

  • thats the song from that spongebob episode.....

    wooooooo

    flair and dusty....greatest feud ever !

  • those promos are awesome. I am watching Dusty's HOF induction speech right now. That guy can flat out talk. It's fantastic.

  • talk shit about wrestling.....talk about how fake it is....but its still an art

  • Man! Who could ever forget this match? One of the greatest EVER. Man, I got goosebumps! Makes me want to move back to the trailer park, and sit in the floor eating mac and cheeze out uf a Cool Whip bowl and watch rasslin on Channel 17 in Atlanta. WOOOOO!

  • i love that sling shot suplex, man toly b would just lay jokers out with that..

  • DUTHARODE BABY!!!

  • Dusty beat Flair in that match and had the belt about 2 weeks before the NWA went nuts and made him drop it back to Flair.

  • great match, i agree with kozmo.

  • Know anybody the name of the song ?

  • This is when wrestling was at its best - not the moronic WWE days of today.

  • lol spongebob song

  • Oh god, that would ROCK if they used that!

  • I miss Gordon Solie. Those were the Old Days with Mr Wrestlin and American Dream, Ox Baker, Stan Hansen....

  • This was also the days before these current roid monsters that pass for wrestlers. It's just so fucking ridiculous to watch these days. And too predictable, too.

  • u not dissen my road warrers r u ? cause those were my dogz baby. halk would beat the crap out of flair.

    everybody in nwa was a promo king there weren't realy no bad wrestlers every body was great. when the went to wwe or f they got so corney. ok for example ronny garven "hands of stone" he was so wack he was a punk over there. over here he was the man. rick rude he was ok over wwe but over in georga he was the truth. even ric went over there he was wack over wwe.

  • The real truth is Flair would carry Hawk and Dusty to great macthes.

  • true. i love nwa

  • Damn straight. I remember the old 7:05 TBS wrestling on Saturday night for 2 hours in the early to mid-80's. Boy, those were better than anything they got today...Probably because I was 9 or 10 and I still sorta thought it was real. :)

  • "diamonds are forever and so is ric flair"that line might be the best wrestling line ever

  • Its so true too:)

  • That's the Real Old School Wrestling. Flair an Rhodes could work the mic and the ring in any state at any time not just for a PPV. But the T.V. shows were just as good if not better than the PPV's man I miss those days.

    eastcoastfamily

  • All dez young cats need to remember one phrase! THE DIRTEST PLAYER IN THE GAME! Ask Race, Bockwinkle, Luger, Savage, Windem, Rude,Hall, Nash, The Von'Erichs, The Funks, The Ortens, The N.W.O. Steamboat and Hogan! Out PLAYEDEM and ,HELL even outliving some!

    THIRDCOASTNETWORK

  • yea those were the good ol' days

  • My gosh, I miss those days

  • I know those were the best days. I miss WCW really.

  • so do i. i was always an nwa/wcw fan. i never did care for the wwf/wwe a whole lot
