Biyografi

Virgil Riley Runnels Jr., profesyonel güreş tarihinin en ikonik ve sevilen figürlerinden biri olan "The American Dream" Dusty Rhodes, 12 Ekim 1945 tarihinde Austin, Teksas'ta dünyaya gelmiştir. West Texas State Üniversitesi'nde futbol oynadığı yılların ardından spora olan ilgisini güreşe yönelten Runnels, 1960'ların sonunda profesyonel kariyerine başladı. İlk yıllarında Dick Murdoch ile kurduğu "The Texas Outlaws" takımıyla sert bir stil sergilese de, onu efsaneleştiren asıl dönem 1970'ler ve 80'lerde National Wrestling Alliance (NWA) bünyesinde yaşandı. Ric Flair'in temsil ettiği gösterişli ve zengin yaşam tarzının tam zıttı olarak, işçi sınıfını ve halkı temsil eden "The Common Man" (Sıradan Adam) karakteriyle milyonların kahramanı oldu. Karizmatik konuşma tarzı ve özellikle 1985 yılında verdiği, güreş tarihinin en iyi röportajlarından biri kabul edilen "Hard Times" promosuyla izleyicilerle benzersiz bir bağ kurdu. Bu dönemde üç kez NWA Dünya Ağırsiklet Şampiyonu olma başarısını gösterdi ve Ric Flair ile Four Horsemen grubuna karşı verdiği mücadeleler klasikleşti. Sadece ring içinde değil, ring arkasında da bir dahi olan Rhodes, "booker" (senarist/yönetici) olarak sektöre yön verdi. WarGames maçı konsepti ve "The Great American Bash" gibi büyük etkinlikleri yarattı. 1989 yılında WWF'e (şimdiki WWE) geçiş yaptı ve burada sarı puantiyeli kostümüyle daha renkli bir karakteri canlandırdı. Kariyerinin sonraki yıllarında WCW ve TNA (Impact Wrestling) gibi şirketlerde hem spiker hem de yönetici olarak görev aldı. Hayatının son döneminde WWE'nin gelişim markası NXT'de baş yazar ve "Promo" eğitmeni olarak görev yapan Dusty Rhodes, bugünün süperstarları olan Seth Rollins, Roman Reigns, Kevin Owens ve Becky Lynch gibi isimlerin gelişiminde babacan bir rol oynadı. Mirasını oğulları Dustin Rhodes (Goldust) ve Cody Rhodes sürdürmektedir. 2007 yılında WWE Hall of Fame sınıfına dahil edilmiştir. Aktör, 11 Haziran 2015 tarihinde böbrek yetmezliği ile mücadele ettiği sırada evinde düşmesi sonucu gelişen komplikasyonlar nedeniyle 69 yaşında hayatını kaybetmiştir.
