I like how Dusty played his game every time he come up north he would put on his Stevie Wonder floppy hat, get funky and rap. Then he’d come down to Houston or Tampa, wear his Stetson and his Lukenbach Texas T-shirt, and be a cowboy! No wonder he was the best sports attraction! RIP Stardust and Superstar Billy. I’m sure you cats are hanging out at studio 54 in Heaven.

Three Legendary men who could cut solid gold promos, Superstar Billy Graham, The Grand Wizard, and The American Dream Dusty Rhodes!

Pretty sure Graham was actually the inspiration.

Did anyone catch the foreshadowing of Bob Backlund in this promo? Dusty mentioned his name for a reason. It was already in the works. So weird that after listening to these promos they didn’t have enough sense to turn SBG into a face and keep the belt....what could have been 😟

Often imitated but never duplicated

Ty brought back many memories when wrestling was wrestling unlike today when in ring action almost seems to be an afterthought

In the old territorial days territories would trade talent if they were NWA members and the old WWWF/WWF was an NWA member so they could trade talent with other NWA territories and since Florida(where Dusty did most of his work at this time) he would make occasional appearances for Vince McMahon Sr and the WWWF.

So was Ric Flair. So was Ted DiBiase. So was Tito Santana. So many came through because as John Paulson said so well, the territorial system enabled guys to make runs in major markets like NYC (via the WWWF/WWF).

There will never be another one like Dusty Rhodes. These were the best days of wrestling. Just raw and not so scripted like the soap opera wrestling of today.

saw this years ago on youtube, RIP Dusty..i was actually hurt when i heard the news. Great talent on the microphone. just as good as anything flair did in those days

0004pedro At this time, the WWWF was a territory just like the others. The only difference was that though they recognized the NWA World Title, they, as well as the AWA, put theirs as equal while most others recognized the NWA Title as THE World Title. But getting to the main point, back then most went from territory to territory, even if just for a run then moved on. Everyone from Bill Watts to Bruiser Brody to Stan Hansen to Masked Superstar came in, even if just for a storyline against the Champion at the time in the WWWF/WWF before Vince became national. Same went here but since heel Champs were just transitional for Vince Sr., you didn't get to see many babies make these runs.

Eddie Graham had to send Dusty to other territories because nobody could get over if Dusty was in Florida. Vince would take Dusty as a favor to Eddie Graham for a few weeks at a time. Vince's favorite wrestler of all time was Dr. Jerry Graham, who was a multiple time NWA US Tag Champion in the WWWF with Eddie Graham. To tie a bow on this story, Billy Graham, Jerry Graham and Eddie Graham were kayfabe brothers.

These were the best days of cutting promos. I was still young at the time, but still remember this style being cut around the mid 80's. The best era of pro wrestling had to be from the mid 70's to the mid to late 80's.
