5 WWE Superstars that will be remembered more for mic work than in-ring skills

#3 Dusty Rhodes

Dusty Rhodes was inducted into the WWE Hall of Fame in 2007

The late Dusty Rhodes must be credited for breaking the mold in professional wrestling and WWE. At a time where the industry was dominated by men with bodybuilder physiques, The American Dream rose to stardom as a rather chubby Superstar. What he lacked in shape, he made up for it with his heartfelt promos.

Rhodes had two stints with WWE with the first one coming in the 1970s when the company was then known as WWWF. Arguably though, his best work both inside the ring and on the mic came during his rivalry with Ric Flair and The Four Horsemen.

Obviously, no discussion about Dusty Rhodes can be complete without mentioning the 'Hard Times' promo that he cut in 1985 while he was in the midst of a title feud with Flair in NWA.

There's barely anyone in the history of pro wrestling who can match the intensity of Rhodes' mic work. The WWE Hall of Famer even taught the art of cutting promos at WWE Performance Center.
