Yeah but everyone was stealing each other's shit back then (still do now) Patterson iirc was only really over in southern territories and him being black in his prime kinda hurt him.. At least he has wins over dusty I guess 🙄🙄
Brisco Brothers both got laid out by Big Cat Ernie Ladd they tried to jump Ernie and got beat up with a Tire Iron in the parking lot .... Dirty Rhodes stole ripped off Thunder Bolt Patterson ....
Its funny how wrestling marks always rag on Hogan/Graham and yet we have Dusty and Thunderbolt, Flair and the real Nature Boy, Jesse/Steiner and Graham, and many others.
Atlanta Georgia channel 17 TBS I came to Atlanta Georgia for and Ann gunkel what a story will have to talk about that clear understanding and the truth

@@grammysworld5449 he was also very political which was a no no for blacks wrestlers in the 60's and 70's.
@@timothywelch2999 true.. He didn't have his own fate in his hands like Ali..
And ran with it ...
And Superstar Billy Graham's gimmick as well, if you will.
Full and clear understanding and the truth
Dusty also stole liberally from Rufus R. Jones.
That Thunderbolt accusation is totally false, Ive studied both and I dont see it.
you're nuts, even the way Dusty talks is a direct copy of TB, even the way he moved and taunted in the ring
Dusty 100% copied TBolt. It's very obvious.
Just because you don't see it, doesn't mean it's not true

Ok, on one of his bios, Dusty Rhodes mentioned that he borrowed heavily from Thunderbolt Patterson.
