History Trivia / DustyRhodes

* WagTheDirector: Notorious for ad-libbing. Stephanie was furious with Dusty going off-script in a promo with Wrestling/TheAuthority and constantly cutting her off (complete with a [[ScrewPolitenessImASenior "talk to the hand"]]). That's the last time Dusty was ever involved in a ''Raw'' segment. FWIW, segments with Stephanie always end in the babyfaces getting buried. Hard.

* ActorAllusion: For a while, the familial relationship between him, [=Goldust=] and Cody Rhodes was only occasionally hinted at...at least until late September 2013. Of course, there was some fun to be had with it...
-->'''Dusty''': Man, I raised some weird kids...

* AwesomeEgo: There must be something in the water over at Atlanta (Hulk, Nash, Flair, Bischoff, Dusty, and more). To hear Dusty tell it, he was the making of Vince [=McMahon=] (and Stephanie, by proxy), led [[strike:Dusty Rhodes Productions]] Jim Crockett Productions to greatness, and fought the Monday Night War single-handledly. But he told it in such an off-the-cuff, charming way that one is tempted to let it pass. Watch how skillfully he takes his accuser and turns it back on the WWE:

And yes, I still think I'm a genius after all this time, crazy egotistical maniac that I am. They always ask me, "Why did you put yourself on top?" I asked ''[[Wrestling/TripleH Hunter]]'' the same thing. The ''would-be booker'' that he is. He [[SelfDeprecation doesn't even have a finish named after him.]] How can Triple H be a great booker when he doesn't have a finish named after him. [[ObfuscatingInsanity Where were we?]]
