Legendary Pro Wrestler Dusty Rhodes Passes Away at 69

Unfortunately, a pro wrestler's life is not a long one as history has told us with the untimely passing of so many young wrestlers. Well that holds true today as well with the passing of Virgil Runnels (Known professionally for years as The American Dream Dusty Rhodes). The son of a hard working plumber passed away this morning at the age of 69 according to WWE's website and countless news sources.

Rhodes was a dedicated family man to his wife and 2 sons who currently wrestle in the WWE under the ring names Goldust and Stardust.

He will be greatly missed and I'm sure many around the world join me when I say my childhood is in mourning.

R.I.P. Dusty
