** There's a persistent, possibly true rumor that when his son debuted in the ''WWF'', he was given [[{{Wrestling/Goldust}} a gimmick so bad it might've been a career killer]] out of some twisted hybrid of yet another joke and outright revenge on Dusty. Fortunately for everyone involved, [[TookTheBadFilmSeriously Dustin learned to revel in the gimmick, made it his own, and transformed into a beloved elder statesman of the business]].

* WhatTheHellIsThatAccent: At the start of his career, he had what could be charitably described as a thick Texas accent with a heavy lisp. By the end of a long career of hard living and harder knocks, exactly ''what'' he had was anyone's guess.

** The Akeem character was also a rib on Dusty. They turned One Man Gang into a character who thought he lived under the delusion that he black and nicknamed himself the "African Dream." Apparently nobody told Vince that [[AluminumChristmasTrees there were white people who were natively born in Africa.]] The gimmick worked for awhile before he returned to being the One Man Gang. Dusty didn't seem to take it personally, and even booked the Gang pretty well when he got to WCW.
