* His "[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9py4aMK3aIU Hard Times]]" promo is unquestionably one of the greatest promos of all time.

Plus, according to Dusty, it was completely unscripted! [[note]]Of course, being "Unscripted" was the norm until the modern Vince McMahon/creative team era.[[/note]]

Shocking Swerve is merging into Ass Pull


* Dusty got a posthumous CMOA in NXT, where he personally mentored most of the roster. They dedicated an entire tournament in his honor, called the Dusty Rhodes Tag Team Classic. The winning team ([[Wrestling/FergalDevitt Finn Balor]] and Wrestling/SamoaJoe) was awarded a giant trophy presented by Wrestling/CodyRhodes and Wrestling/{{Goldust}}, Dusty's real-life sons. What's more, the ceremony didn't have any [[ShockingSwerve cheap swerve]] or [[FaceHeelTurn heel turn]] or broken trophy to advance an angle. It was just a classy, respectful moment that the American Dream would've been proud of.

* Dusty was with his sons at ringside during their match against the Shield at Battleground 2013. At one point, the Hounds of Justice attempted to beat Dusty but the American Dream unhooked his belt, ready to fight side-by-side with his sons though this did not happened. He does show that he still got it by giving Dean Ambrose a Bionic Elbow later in the match when the latter attempted to interfere.

* Telling Cody Rhodes aka Stardust to stop his Stardust gimmick and go back to being Cody Rhodes. Knowing how hard he was on Dustin, this was an awesome angle for the Rhodes family storyline. It would also be his last major involvement in any storylline in WWE as he would die in June 2015, just 6 months after Stardust went crazy.
