Talk:Dusty Rhodes

message: * It is noted the the dispatcher was "rude" to Dusty's wife, causing her to "hang up." I do not believe the dispatcher intended such.  In my opinion, she was (understandably) distressed and he was trying to calm her down in order to give her instructions as well as get more facts for the EMS already in route. It seemed to me that in her distressed state, she thought the dispatcher was finished and she wanted to be with her husband, and therefore hung up the phone.— Preceding unsigned comment added by 67.197.91.93 (talk) 01:48, 25 June 2015 (UTC)

text: *Comment: Mick Foley's autobiographies and interviews show that almost everyone refers to him as "Cactus," but I still don't think his page should be moved to "Cactus Jack." Tuckdogg 18:11, 1 July 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: That's hardly relevant, given that Foley has wrestled under his own name for the last six years, and wrestled as Mankind for four years before that. Runnels has always been known as Dusty Rhodes, except for his brief stint as the Midnight Rider. Moreover, he conducted his "real life" business as NWA/WCW booker under the name "Dusty Rhodes" - he used the name off camera in a professional and personal context. McPhail 23:21, 1 July 2006 (UTC)

replies: text: Right. I wouldn't type in "Virgil Runnels, Jr." either though.  That's what the redirections and disambiguation pages are for.  The question is, what's wrong with (wrestler) that isn't wrong with (actor), (baseball player), (film), (novel), or any of the other widely used disambiguation suffixes? -- JHunterJ 17:04, 27 June 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: Just a personal opinion, but particularly so here because most, if not all, articles with "(wrestler)" can be titled differently. Unless you use middle names, there's really no way to differentiate between "Brad Daugherty (poker player)" and "Brad Daugherty (basketball)" That's just not the case with just about all wrestling articles, including this one.

thread_title: Survey

message: I just noticed that Dusty Rhodes is a disambiguation page, which means that if the page is moved, it will probably be moved to Dusty Rhodes (wrestler). Also, since he's listed on the disambiguation page, is a page move really necessary now?  --JFred 18:33, 20 June 2006 (UTC)

message: From the article: "pulled a spike out of his shoulder pad and jammed it in Rhodes' eye busting it wide open." Come on... if you guys are going to protect this article and not let me correct it, at least get the "busting it wide open" out of there, which sounds like it was written by a third grader. 69.215.147.150 (talk) 02:49, 16 April 2008 (UTC)

message: on Kevin Nash's website, it mentions the OZ gimmick, and that Rhodes personally thought it was a great gimmick
is this just Nash being bitter about getting saddled with something so ridiculous, or is it genuine?  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 74.235.162.134 (talk) 23:26, 29 November 2008 (UTC)

thread_title:  Personal Life 

message: This makes no sense:
"Rhodes was fired from Jim Crockett Promotions after Starrcade '88, because of a taboo on-screen bloodletting (laid down by the Turner Broadcasting System following their purchase of the company) during a November 26 altercation with the Road Warriors.[6] Furious with the interference, Rhodes booked an angle where Road Warrior Animal pulled a spike out of his shoulder pad and jammed it in Rhodes' eye busting it wide open.[6] Rhodes was then fired from WCW."
So according to this, Dusty was fired for a "taboo" bloodletting, so he got furious and booked an angle after he was fired that got him fired again???? Huh? And wasn't WCW and JCP two different entities?— Preceding unsigned comment added by 68.205.57.121 (talk) 07:55, 5 December 2012 (UTC)
