Dusty Rhodes

Roster
 3-Debut on WCW

## American Dream(1989-1990)

On the Superstars after Wrestlemania 5, longtime JCP booker Dusty Rhodes made his shocking debut as he challenged the new WWF champion Hulk Hogan but he immediatly lost to him, he didn't do much in the following months until winning the King of the Ring. At Summerslam he defeated Bad News Brown to become Intercontinental champion

He entered the G1 but didn't manage to win it as Jimmy Snuka replaced Tito Santana midway through the tournament and wasn't as tired as all the other participants which got him the easy win. Dusty was pissed at this and challenged Snuka to an IC title match at Superstars 200 which Snuka won

Dusty continued on the midcard division feuding with Bad News Brown, at Wrestlemania 6 Koko B.Ware defeated Rick Rude, Bad News Brown and Dusty Rhodes in a fatal 4 way elimination match to win the IC belt

He started showing signs of an heel turn as he kept cheating during matches and being a dick. At Summerslam 1990, after British Bulldog turned heel by beating up The Ringmasters, Dusty Rhodes joined him in the attack turning heel

## Alliance with British Bulldog(1990-1991)

Dusty and Bulldog started feuding with The Ringmasters during the G1. At G1 Finals, Texas Tornado defeated Dusty and Kato in a triple threat to become NO1 contender to the IC belt.

At Royal Rumble 1991, Bret Hart, Mr.Perfect and Texas Tornado defeated Dusty, Bulldog and Jim Neidhart in a 6 men tag team match. He won a fatal 4 way to become NO1 contender to the WWF belt and got it at Superstars 259 losing to Haku, he blamed Bulldog for this loss and turned on him ending their alliance. At Wrestlemania 7 Bulldog defeated Dusty in Dusty's last WWF match

## Owner of WCW(1991-1992)

At Saturday Night 95, his son Dustin Rhodes made his debut challenging Ric Flair to a WCW Heaviweight title match because of his old story with Dusty. At Superbrawl 1, Dustin came out but revealed it would be his father Dusty Rhodes having this match as he made his WCW debut, Flair defeated Dusty and after the match he was forced to watch Sid put a chair through his son's leg when Sting, Lex Luger and Barry Windham made the save

At Great American Bash, Sting, Luger, Windham and Dusty defeated Four Horsemen in a wargames match but during the match, Windham tried doing a fall from the cage but he fell backwards and went through a table as he was DQ'd due to being out of the ring so Dusty was injured during a 1 on 3 ambush

He returned at Halloween Havoc during a match between Dustin and Windham(because Dustin blamed Windham for his father being injured), Dusty announced he now owned WCW and made the match a no DQ for Dustin to beat up Windham, after the match Dusty fired Windham and Doom came out for a save

Dusty also fired El Gigante throught the weeks. At Starrcade Doom defeated The Rhodes for Windham to be re-signed

He continued screwing over other wrestlers in favor of his son but it slowly stopped happening. At Beach Blast, 2 Cold Scorpio defeated Dusty Rhodes to retain his job. Dustin asked for a world title shot but Dusty laughed and didn't accept as his time would come

After Junkyard Dog defeated Dustin Rhodes, Dusty said JYD had an amazing career but he was doing nothing on WCW so the next match he loses will also be his last. JYD started appearing more regularly always fighting for his career and even winning the TV title in the process, Dusty Rhodes decided that he wanted to be the one retiring him, at Halloween Havoc they would have a match which Junkyard Dog managed to win. At Starrcade it was a big challenge as it was the Battlebowl and JYD would have to win a tag team match, a battle royal and a WCW Heaviweight Championship match against Vader to keep his career intact, JYD won the tag match but Dusty proceeded to eliminate him in the battle royal to end his career

## Feud with Vader and Dustin Rhodes(1993)

A feud started against Vader as Dusty refused to give him a rematch for the WCW Heaviweight title, Vader wanted a match against him but Dusty would only give him it if he could beat 3 men in a handicap match, the 3 men ended up being Rick Rude and Road Warriors who became bodyguards of Dusty during this and beat Vader. Vader was put on a gauntlet match where if he won all 5 matches he would get a match against Dustin and Vader managed to do it. At Slamboree Dusty decided he was "injured" and put his son against Vader instead who was destroyed

Dusty kept disrespecting his son more and more as he was always slapping him and refusing to give him any type of shots. A 32 men tournament for the vacant WCW Heaviweight Championship began as he defeated Tom Zenk in the first round match and Johnny B.Badd in the second round. At Saturday Night 222 the quarter finals match was between Dusty Rhodes and Dustin Rhodes as Dusty forced his son to lay down for him but Dustin kicked out at 2 and proceeded to beat the hell out of his dad to a huge pop as he defeated him. At Fall Brawl he helped Rick Rude defeat his son to become the champion

Everyone slowly started being against Dusty as Dustin kept attacking him and not even security would save Dusty, WCW personnel invaded the ring and refused to leave and continue the tapings if Dusty didn't give him a loser leaves WCW match against him and he was forced to accept. At Starrcade 1993 Dusty was the special guest ref in his own match so everytime he used a lowblow or chairs he told the ringkeeper not to end the match or else he'd be fired, by the end much of the WCW roster was ringside as Dustin lowblowed Dusty and the ringkeeper refused to ring the bell even if Dusty had called for it, Dustin hit the cross rhodes and pinned his dad as all of WCW's refs came out to count it, everyone celebrated with Dustin in Dusty's last match
