5 best feuds in the career of Dusty Rhodes

The Four Horsemen

The series of War Games matches that Four Horsemen had with Dusty and his allies is enough to earn a place in this list. The feud between Dusty Rhodes and the Horsemen happened mainly due to the friction that Dusty had with Blanchard and Ric Flair. The formation of the Horsemen forced Dusty to find some allies as well. Nikita Koloff and the Road Warrior came to his help.

Dusty Rhodes participated in 11 War Games matches throughout his career. In that, he went up against Four Horsemen on nine occasions. This stat is enough to show how legendary the feud between these two parties was back during those days.

Ric Flair

Ric Flair was hands down the best opponent of Dusty Rhodes. The National Wrestling Association made a lot of money with these two. This was also the foundation for the Four Horsemen feud that was mentioned earlier. Flair was arrogant and cocky and was unmatched when it came to those traits. Dusty travelled a similar path so when these two met, it was an epic collision.

Flair won his first ever NWA heavyweight championship by defeating Dusty Rhodes. The year was 1981 and Flair then went on to have a 476-day reign. The Reign saw him become the most over wrestler across the territories and it all started thanks to the match that he had with Rhodes.
