Not quite the 1992 USA Men’s basketball Olympic team

This was the first of two years straight that Dusty would captain a team with this name.
It’s generic, yes, but it’s Dusty freakin’ Rhodes so he gets a spot high on this list. Their opponents in 1989 were The Enforcers. You would think Arn Anderson would be on a team with that name, but he was busy in the main event (it would also be his last show with WWE before he returned to NWA).

The Enforcers consisted of Big Bossman (hence the name), Bad News Brown, Rick Martel & Honky Tonk Man.
The Dream Team for the following year was definitely a better four-man squad, with Dusty, Koko B. Ware, Bret Hart & Jim Neidhart. They ended up losing to Ted DiBiase, The Undertaker, Greg Valentine & Honky Tonk Man, the last of whom was clearly getting his revenge from the year before.

About the author
Nicholas A. Marsico
I got my first big break writing for 411Mania back in 2004. I did a small spot in a big weekly piece that was written by one of the site's top writers. I quickly added the duty of being the live recapper for episodes of SmackDown, and in 2005 was given my own weekly column, which I did for a few years. I gave up writing (mostly) to start a family but got back into it, still at 411, a little over 3 years later. For another couple of years, I wrote 2-3 columns per week for the website before finding paid work elsewhere, and eventually wound up at SportsKeeda.
I am also the co-founder of the RBR: Weekly Wrestling Talk podcast, which started in the summer of 2005 and is still going strong today, almost 15 years later. Due to school, work, and family commitments, I left the team in 2011 but still remain a part of the family.
