"The American Dream" was one of the most iconic WWE stars to ever step foot in a WWE ring, and later inspired a number of current WWE stars to lace up their wrestling boots.
Dusty was married to his second wife Michelle Rubio in 1978, and the couple were together for more than 30 years until his death in 2015. Rhodes was never a man who was caught up in scandals as he helped his sons Cody and Dustin to begin their career with the company. Both sons now continue their father's legacy in the wrestling world, with Dustin still employed by WWE and Cody remaining at the top of the Independent ladder.
The WWE Hall of Famer became a father figure for many WWE stars when he returned to the performance centre and helped to train the next generation of wrestlers. He was well-respected and continues to be sorely missed by the entire WWE Universe and WWE roster as a whole.
