DDP is a freaking amazing guy

DDP is a great example of how you will always end up having a great life if you live in the mindset of giving rather than taking.

It’s amazing DDP thinks of Jake as a mentor even still, because you ask Jake and he talks like DDP is the sun he revolves around. DDP got Jake clean. Amazing circle of friends.

As a kid growing up watching WCW I was a huge nWo mark so I hated DDP. But as an adult I realize what an amazing person he is. A hell of a wrestler too.

Ain't nothing wrong with it. WCW made wrestling seem real so when fans didn't like you, they LEGIT didn't like you.

He’s one of the most inspirational guys ever he became a pro wrestler in his 30s and held WCW on its back as a baby face

@TheCJRhodes

Ай бұрын

in his 30s? ah that makes a lot of sense. As a kid watching WCW, I always wondered why he looked like every other wrestler's older brother, but I hadn't heard of him before. I thought it was just old-man-looking genetics, and maybe smoked too many cigars.

@@johnrouille5428 yeah i think around 95/96 is when I got into WCW and wrestling in general, and remember seeing NWO start and most of the shenanigans they brought, but I was 7/8 so I never knew DDP’s real personal details. Haven’t watched wrestling since the WWF attitude era, but am somewhat caught up and familiar from watching KZread videos. I’ll definitely watch something about his full career, because he wasn’t a fav of mine, but was super entertaining 👍

I have one friend who has stayed on that hand the entire time and will never fall off it. I count it as my life's greatest blessing that I have that one friend. For DDP to be that one friend to Dusty of all people, man, that is the highest honor.

We all owe Dusty so much.

​@@joshschneider9766 Reading this as someone who isn't a big Dusty fan- I already KNEW wrestling fans in general owe a lot to Dusty. So I took the few seconds and googled it. I recommend others do to, tbh. I didn't realize that he spent time in SO many wrestling organizations. That alone- his knowledge and experience beginning from 1967, working with so many massive names is priceless. I had no idea he was a booker for as long as he was and is considered one of the greatest! I was ready to believe we owed him a lot purely because of his sons, but in reality I was discounting Dusty and all he personally did in front of and behind the camera.

1964? Did you mean 1984? Dusty made his wrestling debut in 1967. In 1964, the Von Erichs would have been Fritz and his kayfabe brother Waldo and there was no Dusty Rhodes in 1964 other than the New York Giants baseball player named Dusty Rhodes. That's where Dusty Runnels got the name Dusty Rhodes. The New York Giants baseball player Dusty Rhodes was the favorite baseball player of Cody's grandfather.

The influence Jake had on DDP and Raven can not be understated. Randy Orton too even though that's not direct, I don't think.

Ddp on my top 50 wrestlers all time a legend

Friends with Nash , Austin , Foley and Rick Rude too . What lessons he learned .

That is high praise.

I watched DDP go from a manager of the diamond carral with Scott hall and Kevin Nash into DDP the wrestler and world champion at like 40 years later such an impressive guy and for Dusty rhodes to put him top five says alot

I've meet both Jake the snake and ddp and I can tell you this they both have a big heart for people

DDP will always be 1 of my favorite wrestlers all time...🙂 FEEL THE BANG!!!! 💎

DDP is the kind of friend not many have...loyal, always there to help, and NEVER forgets those that helped him.

Those 2 are 2 amazing mentors. Most people never get 1. It's no wonder Dallas took to the business so fast. I learned from a rando who spent 20 years on the Indies. He was good... In my mind he was good enough to make WWE especially in the weak years from 2006-2019. However he stayed on the independents his entire career. Cameron Frost.

I met DDP and Kim back in the late '90s. Pure class acts, both of them. I've met many others and nobody else came close to the two of them in terms of pure and genuine kindness.

Dusty Rhodes was the most GENUINE man to ever live.

DDP always seems like a good friend to have 🙏

Dallas is the greatest human being to come out of wrestling. He's the genuine article.

There's only one DDP, this man is so special 🇬🇧👍🇬🇧👍

DDP deserved to be so much bigger. Hell of a professional and wrestler

R.I.P To the American Dream!! 🙏🏽 All those old timers we're the foundation of the business that entertain us and got to were it is today!!!

We all need a top 5.

I didn’t watch WCW much as a kid but in the few episodes I did watch Sting & DDP were my favorites, so it pleases me to know that they were stand up guys irl

I always loved Dusty Jake andDDP

DDP is that guy. Dude literally saved Jake's life, along with so many others. Guy is the closest thing you could find to a saint in wrestling.

And that why when Cody won his wwe championship the first dinner he had ddp was there

we always glad my son was named dallas..I watched ddp alot on nitro..dangg those were the best day..if the done it Tuesday..these both be here..cause Tuesday was no wrestling ontv.

Growing up watching the Monday Night Wars, I came to be a huge fan of DDP. He became one of my favorite wrestlers. I was always doing the Diamond Cutter gesture at school. The WWE did him dirty when he came over after the merger. He wasn't around for very long when compared to many other superstars but he is still one of my all-time favorites.

DDP legit seems like the best friend you could ever have, period.

DDP was my fav wrestler from wcw, the original peoples champ to me.

Dusty has gotta be one of the most influential wrestlers of all time. His connection not just to the fans, but to the business, runs DEEP. Dusty had a hand in everything.

I love Dusty and Cody both ❤

That's a good friend -Salute DDP

Once again, this proves that nobody who has ever worked with Dusty had a bad thing to say about him. I love DDP. RIP Dream. and Congratulations to Cody and his continued success as world champ :)

Great man.❤

Awesome mentors

Ddp integrity as a wrestler is priceless

What a sweet story

DDP is such a gem from a time when wrestling was full of guys of ill repute. Dude’s a saint. He should’ve been the face of the Warrior award.

DDP Is That Guy 🔥🔥💪🏻💪🏻💪🏻

Saw DDP and Jake at a convention in 2011. You could tell that those two had a brother like bond

Ddp and dusty friendship never fell on hard times daddy

DDP holding his Denchers in with his lips, while talking, is wild.

I love DDP! He is a solid dude!!

Dusty Rhodes and DDP are the very best of us

Murph, Marc, Joey. Thugzie.

God I fucking love ddp

I bet DDP felt great getting Jake back on track with his life

I don’t think I’ve ever heard anyone say a bad word about DDP or Dusty.

True true Legend facts 😎

DDP is an amazing human being. He would come into my Boston Market restaurant once a week and was polite to everyone. On the contrary other Atlanta celebrity customers wanted you to kiss their ass

Bro, come on! I can’t get recommended this wholesome shit every day 😭

You can tell how much that meant to him, as well.

Crazy to think that Dallas considers Jake a mentor and teacher, yet he's the one that helped get Jake's life back on track and essentially saved him.

DDP is what the call a solid mfer. He’s the guy you want in a Fox hole type dude.

This is sweet.

Wwe did DDP dirty with his storyline he deserved better from them

Cody got his smile from his Dad.

For my money the Mount Rushmore of what modern wrestling is : Dusty Rhodes, Mick Foley, Triple H & William Regal

I love DDP

I mean damn, those are as good as it gets to pro wrestling mentorship !

Self High Five! 👋

And he was 35 when he started wrestling

Im still pissed the way WWE brought him in during the invasion angle and burried him 😠 😡 😤

I forgot that pluggers still exist 😆

I knew about Jake the Snake didn’t know about dusty

Rithkey bithness

Bro got the shaft when he came over to WWE. Wish he would have had a better run than what he had. Granted, he battled with some injuries but I feel like so many guys loyal to WCW got shafted by Vince being a petty asshole.

I wonder if Vince knew that and was why he pushed that angle with DDP. would make fn sense tbh

DDP in the place to be
