[Darwin Watterson]

Dusty Rhodes died, apparently of kidney failure. He was known as "The American Dream," and is the father of both Goldust and Cody "Stardust" Rhodes. He will be missed dearly.

STAMFORD, Conn. (AP) - WWE says Virgil Runnels, a former professional wrestler known by his fans as Dusty Rhodes, has died. He was 69.

The company says Runnels died Thursday, but a spokesman declined to say where or how he passed away, saying the family had not authorized the release of that information.

Runnels, who also went by the nickname "The American Dream," was a member of the WWE Hall of Fame, and held the NWA championship three times. He became famous during the height of wrestling's popularity in the 1970s and 1980s, appearing in signature yellow polka dot tights with his sidekick "valet" Sapphire.

He also was the father of two other famous WWE wrestlers: Dustin Runnels, better known as Goldust, and Cody Runnels who wrestles under the name Stardust.

The last person Dusty took out with his elbow on WWE TV was Dean Ambrose.

Ambrose gotta win that strap now so Dusty can retroactively go out with his last fight being him going over the champ.

I wonder who the last person before Dean was to get both a Bionic Elbow _and_ a Damien attack?

Best part is he wore a cast around his kids for a fake injury so they would believe Kayabe is real. Kind of reminds me of when the Shiek would bust into Islamic prayer whenever he had company over for dinner even though his family was Catholic.
